Sure, in the mean time, those wishing to use bfgminer can use: bfgminer -S rockminer:all --set rockminer:clock=270 or bfgminer -S rockminer:all --set rockminer:clock=290 no need for ziagdag step anymore, just the proper manufacturer's driver. and if you ever had those ASICMiner USB sticks running using bfgminer on your system (now or before), then you already have the driver anyway

Question: Is the setup the same for one or two Rockminers? I can get 1 unit to work fine, however I cannot get 2 units to works together. I've tried Powered Hubs and Direct on PC (Win 8.1 and XP). Both have 12V 5A power, new usb cables. I have to think it is in my config. I'm using 'rbox_cgminer.rar' V4.3.3 downloaded from www.eyeboot.com. { cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --anu-freq 290 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u name.work1 -p 12345 } Any suggestions would be appreciated. I prefer bfgminer, however I cannot even get that to see my units. -=Lon=-

Then install the silicon labs drivers

The link you gave the required 2.5mm 12V mains power adapter is actually a duplicate link the USB cable, FYI...

I should clarify, you'll only have to install the driver once if you have no other drivers associated with the device. Windows will automatically install the first device driver associated with a device when plugged in. For instance, if you installed silicon labs drivers for a cp210x device in the past, then install winusb with zadig for a single device, you are going to have to do the same with each new device you plug in, since the silabs driver is the default. The best bet is to completely uninstall silabs or Winusb drivers when switching between cgminer and bfgminer. Do this by going into device manager and right click on the device --> uninstall. Make sure to check the box labeled "Delete the driver software for this device" to remove the device association with that driver.

Ok, I finally got them to both work on a Win 8.1 PC using cgminer and zadig drivers. I really wanted to use bfgminer so I spent most of my time removing silabs drivers, rebooting, adding silabs drivers, rebooting, power cycling everything.... Rinse-and-Repeat (many many times)... With no luck, so I completely removed silabs and re-installed zadig, power cycle, and they both are working together now. Maybe I'll play some more this weekend and see if I can get bfgminer working, I like that a little better. bfgminer does work and recognize antminers with silabs drivers. Maybe even tackle adding them to my Raspberry Pi. Thanks for your help, maybe this will help others that have a similar issue. -=Lon=-

Totally stumped with my R-Box's
It shows up in Windows Devices after I run the zadig app in the cgminer folder, but cgminer can't find the device.
Tried multiple cables, power bricks, reboots, driver installs and R-box units (I bought five...just trying to get ONE to function)
my cg.cmd looks like this:
cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --anu-freq 270 -o stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u (my payment address) -p123
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using the specific version of cgminer as in the OP?

I'm new at this but I did get mine to work. Here are a few ideas to try. First, Where did you get your cgminer software? It has to be one compiled for rockminers. I downloaded mine from eyeboot.com (very good people there). Second, I have also switched to eligius (payout is just as good/better as ghash) and I use -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 Third, I pulled power from my units and plugged them back in after cgminer was running. -=Lon=-

Can somebody tell me if I can use a power adapter 20v/6A with my R-Box or a 19V/3.42A without damaging it ?

You need 12V, min 3A.
