how do i check that? im a noob at this stuff. the board that hashes at 1/2 speed has no VDD on string 3 and it looks like its a bad tps53355dqpr, well R41 is only registering .08V so maybe thats it.
sounds like thats your trouble point, just switch it out with a new one, as klondike_bar said, you can often get them for free, or if you have to pay for them, just buy a new one, they are not expensive :-p (what i meant was when you start cgminer, it will throw a bunch of lines with chip numbers on, and if you start from a power off to power on, each board should report back 32 answers, thats how you can see how many of the chips are responding) i dont see anything like that.

Thanks !
I will try to get one at least to test my boards !
pekatete , it would be great if you could share me your cgminer !
I was able to compile cgminer 4.7.0 for and under windows using MinGW but not able to run it without significant errors (and at times it would not detect the board!). It therefore is not a binary that would be useful for sharing, and seeing the pre-compiled version 3.8.5 for windows reconises both the CP210x (as AMU / LIX / etc) and the PL230x (as ICA and ... ?), you would be better off getting that one, available here: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-windows-20131224.zip?raw=truePS. You may need to change over the TX / RX connectors on some of the modules as the lines can be twisted! but, on the other hand we might be able to verify either: 1. problem with source 2. problem with windows 3. problem with specific setup so it might be a good idea to get them tested on another windows machine.. just my 2 cents :-p The source is the same source as that is available on github for version 4.7.0 so anyone an get that. The changes to source that I documented earlier in this thread are deprecated since I abandoned the --include-icarus flag, however, should anyone wnt to include the icarus driver, then the error messages from the compiler are quite instructive. Also, compiling is quite easy, you just need to install MinGW (which is also free and opensource!). It can be tedious to setup MinGW but not impossible. However, if even after that someone still wants to get a hold of the binary I compiled and / or the code i used to compile it, just point me to where you'd like me to upload it and its yours! PS. I did mention earlier in the thread that I was working on something else, more specifically a windows driver. I can update the thread to the effect that I have actually gone to ground to write a windows miner that uses COM ports. I am working on the initialisation of the S1 board and work division in the code, and when I have some extra time off, I'll be looking to finishing it off and showcasing it! For me, that represented a better alternative than trying to wrestle the generic cgminer code targeting multiple rigs and written in a foreign language (C++!) allright thanks, i will try to compile mine ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I will take ChaosItec git cgminer code and give it a try with MinGW. compiled windows version: <snip> download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6o5o9jvvwc1hjs/cgminer.zip?dl=0remember to install zadig drivers: http://zadig.akeo.ie/thanks you so much ! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) the problem in windows is a driver issue.. im no windows guru, im mostly a linux guy, so your on your own on that part Looks all good on your screenshot ? i get problems with the winusb driver with 2 or more boards.. edit: FIXED ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQDNPUy4.png&t=665&c=AwIdMhYK9qbe1Q) its a conflict with another driver/device installed, in this case, it was the sdcard slot, i uninstalled the driver, and now it works I'm kind of stock with the same problem, only card got found ... for the other one i got [2014-11-22 04:02:35] Bmsc send golden nonce [2014-11-22 04:02:36] Bmsc recv golden nonce timeout [2014-11-22 04:02:37] -----------------start nonce------------------ [2014-11-22 04:02:37] Bmsc send golden nonce [2014-11-22 04:02:37] Bmsc recv golden nonce timeout How did you find the faulty driver ?

I know version 3.8.5 will fail with a windows error if 2 boards are plugged in while starting it without the full parameters, so I suggested to you to start cgminer with just 1 board plugged in, then plug in the other one after it has detected the first one. If that fails (and I am assuming you are using windows), then the error it shows in cgminer will be descripive enough to find out what is wrong without needing to log debug data. Just my 2-pence.....

If they do not hash but simply timeout, then cgminer debug won't have anything for you either. For the ones that don't hash: 1. When they are connected, do they flash the green light and timeout at the golden nonce or do they report an error code? 2. Were you running them without a heatsink, and if so, did you have a fan blowing over them? EDIT: Also, what setting(s) were you using? 3. Plug all of them in and check Device Manager (windows) to see if they all appear as whatever driver you chose or HID devices. If they appear as Unknown, then it may be a driver issue (long shot, but lets cover our bases).

update - fixed the half hashing board by scratching off the pcb mask and tinning the copper and linking 2 strings of chips with wire. pics soon! also it looks like we may be able to link 2 boards (or more) by desoldering the first and last chip on alternate boards. the last chip has no pin outs to another chip and has a resistor tied to pin 37 (respond input). so technically we tie chip 31 on the first board to chip 2 on the second board and it should simulate 1 board with more chips on single mode. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-xpa1%2Ft31.0-8%2F10818408_933916279953335_6918473276426243790_o.jpg&t=665&c=__EU5RGYzDRr1A)

I can't comment on elctronics as it would just be speculation, but it seems like you have an elctronics issue. Yes, if you plug in the CP2102 into a PC without a board, cgminer will start the board initialisation process (setting the speed and testing the golden nonce) as it only checks for the USB not the board. Further, that there are no flashing lights at all is a concern, but it also looks like you have the correct drivers, which leads me to believe that it must be an elctronics issue, meaning even cgminer's debug log will not be of any help. PS. Do you have any led light on the CP2102 showing constantly?
