Hi,

Just received mine, but I am having problems installing the BFG compatible driver.
When I try to update the drive (from device manager), I get the error message:

"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

I'm running Win7 64bit.
Any advice?

Thanks

Are you pointing Windows to the directory that has your bifury_c4C.inf file?  That is the file that Windows is looking for?  It will work with the 64-bit version.



Managed to get it working on another pc; Upgraded the firmware, and now its working fine  Cheesy

since i bought my usb fan i keep getting 2-3 gh/s i did everything and it still won't go to 5. I tried:

1. Unplug usb fan

2. Plug usb fan into different port with usb power instead of power from power supply.

3. Change firmware from 90c to 120c

4.Use another version of cgminer


NOTHING worked. Please help me


Edit: Fixed it. For some reason it was my pool slowing it down O.o(btcguild.com) May order more soon if the sale stays for a few days!

EDIT 2: It randomly hashes at 3 or 5 gh/s pool was not the problem.

I just wish I could afford a couple more of them they work great and don't cause conflicts with my RedFuries or other USB ASIC's.


Here is what I am getting with mine.  I might try lowering the Oscillating a bit to see if it reduces errors but this is un-overclocked.
Runs great and cool with and Artic Breeze fan on it.

Just be aware that if your house burns down from a user modified USB Hub, your insurance company isn't going to pay you.

Still cant get my bi*fury's to run on raspberry... If its the same problem a week from now, im going to sell them again.

What a waste of money and time, and no support from sellers what so ever.



DONT BUY THESE

They won't run on a rasberry pi as the native usb ports do not give enougth power. The pi also does not detect USB 3 hubs which you pretty much need for these. Try hooking the pi up to a POWERED USB 2 hub and make sure it has plenty of power. Using a 48W USB3 hub i can only run 4 of these on one hub.

I am using a powered USB 2.0 Hub, with the red wire cut in the usb cable. Works just fine on windows 7. But no matter what i do, i cant get them to be detected on the rasp. Not even one.

I really think Felipeo or someone else from the store should come with a solution to this. Since there is no point in running them on a machine with a big psu, i end up using more power then im gaining from mining this way.

Problem is that every body have different condition and we can't answer all question for every body and support all customer fully.
That is reason of topic like this, people can write what setup they have and what hashrate they reached.
Please understand this is custom hardware and mining isn't easy, especially on ARM.

Hello All

After installing new firmware I was able to get the Bi*Furys to work using Zadig on CGminer.

This will show the mines under USB on device manger.

As I have been using BFGminer the Bi*Furys were not recognised even when I used the FDTI drivers still no luck.

I found this link on another thread, and installed the drivers, and windows did recognise it and gave it a com number, now I am able to use the Bi*Furys on BFGminer.

Hope this help anyone.

Link below for drivers.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpqcvsnx629ns4s/Windows-Mining-Infs.zip



Hello, you should use our dedicated driver for BFGminer instead zadig for first time.
You can find it on our support site cryptostore.io/support in BFGminer section.

some wanted to see how I wired up power supply with 10 port USB 2.0 hubs


5V 30A 150W power supply

   
connections are self explanatory  

 
Silver 10 port USB hub        


soldered power wires directly to PCB       


close up of solder connction to PCB

 
Blue (better quality) 10 port USB hub  

 
again soldered power wires directly to PCB  

 
close up again of blue USB hub 


cut outs for wires to come through hub case


if you're not comfortable with soldering then you can buy something like this above with screw terminals
below are couple links of these DC power plugs:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CCTV-Camera-5-5mm-x-2-1-mm-DC-Power-Male-Jack-Plug-Connector-Adapter-/360726637870
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20pcs-2-1-x-5-5mm-DC-Power-Male-Plug-Jack-Adapter-Connector-for-CCTV-System-/161115013698
use wire that's heavy enough to carry power to hub to prevent high voltage drop.  eg. thick figure 8 (speaker) wire with 24 strands minimum, also known as 24/020 wire.
I used 14AWG wire which is probably over kill but I had this type of wire because I use to tinker with battery powered RC helicopters.


cut red power wire in USB cable that connects from USB hub to PC USB port.
this is to prevent PC USB port trying to power anything connected to USB hub (power isn't required as your using power supply for power)

here's a thread where there's good info on USB hub, etc.. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/which-usb-hub-to-use-with-block-erupters-nanofury-nf1-bpmc-red-fury-ant-u1-253749

Note. if you're going to do similar with a USB 3.0 hubs they may be powered with 12V instead of 5V, the same applies but 12V power supply required.

Thank you merv Smiley
Very fine tutorial!
