bfgminer should do it just fine


http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.4.2/bfgminer-5.4.2-win64.zip   windows 64 bit

http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/5.4.2/bfgminer-5.4.2-win32.zip   windows 32 bit

on your windows PC after you download bfg and unzipped it, go to the start menu type in search box CMD

then CD to were you have bfg unzipped some thing like this  C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\bfgminer-5.4.2-win64

then type after you turn on the miner  


the above lines should work with out the need to set a com port in the setting with BFG  even with windows, you all so need to fill in the your mining pool and the user log in and pw. i left that as you see it .

if it says no device found you may need to install this driver

I  left the chips as x and clock as y because there is two version of the  gawminer black widow,  i have no idea which one you have .

This might help some , i would use BFG miner over cgminer, bfg is kept up to date including old drivers as needed . cg miner had all  scrypt mining support removed after version 3.80 or something like that bfg kept it all .

you many not need this line



if the miner under powers,the above line might be why , bfg was refined to work good with any Zeus miner type sense all the gawminer is, is a Zeus miner .

but do consider using any pi type and find out how to install Ubuntu 16 in it then use it, it works better then, all ways having a windows PC on etc but takes some learning.

keep the five bucks if this works , always glad to help .!!!

You need this miner;
https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer

And some usb drivers for windows. Or with a RasPi i used the dmaxl fork with minera. I really recommend you do it this way.

I think for windows for my falcons --scrypt --scan-serial /dev/ttyUSB0 --zeus-chips 128 --zeus-clock 300 --scan-serial /dev/ttyUSB1 --zeus-chips 128 --zeus-clock 328 --zeus-nocheck-golden (thats for two, just check which USB slot it is after you googled and installed the zeus usb drivers for windows)

For Minera similar but you dont have to specify usb slot you can just use scan auto, i think.
--scrypt --scan-serial zeus:auto --zeus-chips 128 --zeus-clock 328

Anyways thats what i have left over in old txt files but those miners are obsolete by far and even on free electricity i got rid of them for silent much less obsolete miners like S1/S3(at the time 1 year ago) and now i guess i'd go for silent modded S5's.

I've got it all setup, hardware wise, connected to my pc, psu, etc, all thats left is figure out how to work it.

5$ whoever can teamview and set it up/fix it
