K, I'm having issues with cgminer not seeing the device. The device says it is all installed ok. And under devices can see ModMiner Quad.
Phil
use -S modminer:\\.\COMn for cgminer. Of course it can't just be -S COMn like bfl or the like.

Nope still not working. It is looking for it when I do COM4 but not finding anything.

k, it is now seeing the MMQ 0: in cgminer. But is off? How do I turn it on?

use -S modminer:\\.\COMn for cgminer. Of course it can't just be -S COMn like bfl or the like. If -S COMn works with a BFL, it should work with a ModMiner too. You only need "modminer:" if another FPGA's detection is messing it up or (more likely) slowing down startup; same as "bitforce:". Windows allows "COMn" for 1-9, but requires "\\.\" before any others; blame your OS for stupid stuff like this. K, I'm having issues with cgminer not seeing the device. The device says it is all installed ok. And under devices can see ModMiner Quad. The only other instance I've heard of anything like this happening, the user had --temp-cutoff for their GPUs, but didn't update it when they added FPGAs to their setup. If you only have 2 to X temperatures listed, X+1 onward get disabled at 0 C which is almost always immediately. Use "cgminer -d ?" to see what order CGMiner sees your devices in, then set --temp-cutoff based on that.

k, trying
cgminer -S COM4
and this when eventually starts, not seeing a MMQ device. but did see this on start up
Icarus Detect: Test failed at COM4: get 00000000, should:000187a2 Error reading from BitForce (ZGX)
k, update
went back to
cgminer -S modminer:\\.\COM4
and now see:
MMQ 0: Programming \\.\com4... DO NOT EXIT CGMINER UNTIL COMPLETE
after 10 mins I see
MMQ 0: Done Programming \\.\COM4
MMQ 0.0: Setting clock speed to 210
After all that, it is still saying OFF :-(
Will leave it longer, I have to head out now.

After programming the FPGA, did the red LED on the back of the FPGA card turn off? What exactly do you mean by it says it's OFF?

Ok, judging from my own experience, the red led light goes off once cgminer loads the fpga software on the daughter card. I noticed one of my cards had a red led that wouldn't go off and I thought it was the one that was working and the others not, but it seems the opposite is true. I was having an issue with my cgminer crashing. I thought it was bad software. After some observing things, I noticed the crashing was always after talking about a certain daughter card. I rearranged the daughters, making sure everything was plugged in tightly and sure enough, the errors kept happening but at the new address of the bad daughter card. I'm currently waiting for it to finish loading the software and then I'll know for sure. It takes exactly 5 minutes, 45 seconds to load software onto each daughter card.

oh, and make sure you have the cards grouped together, closest to the first slot, evidently it doesn't like having spaces. Found that out the hard way too.

Currently It is loading the program, and starts to set the speed and then crashes.

Please accept my apologies for all of these problems, But I assure you our engineer will tend to all of these issues today I have a feeling something got changed when they incorporated Luke-JR's code into CGMINER (I could be wrong) but try this: http://btcwebhost.com/cgminer-2.4.2mmq.rar(This is Luke-JR's original code and was known to work without issue) Also if you have the option to use Linux instead of windows you may have better luck with 2.4.3 or Luke-JR's BFG miner. for any specific technical questions please email to stcupp@btcfpga.comdo not worry we will get to the bottom of all of these problems today.
