awesome thanks


Yes was following:
http://support.dualminer.com/raspberry-pi-user-guide/

Ill try cruzc's guide

thanks

The issue is that $DIR_PATH is not defined. velvethammer2 , I assume you were following the instructions on the DM support web site? I think that the $DIR_PATH in those instructions are a typo.

CruzCoins' instructions on this thread are correct though.

Also, you could consider dropping the –prefix option altogether if you want to install the cgminer in the default location (which is what I did; you can see my post on the subject if you're interested).

HTH...

Please just follow my guide as it would have prevented all of the errors you are encountering. Go through the guide in my signature step by step before reporting back more problems.

OK 1 more error   any thoughts??

on Step 3-3:
./configure –enable-dualminer –enable-scrypt –disable-opencl  –prefix=$DIR_PATH/
make && make install

------------------------------------------
Step 3-3:
Install some packages  needed by dualminer source code
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install vim(Optinal : edit file tool )
Then you can get dualminer https://github.com/dualminer
git clone git://github.com/dualminer/dualminer-cgminer.git cgminer
cd cgminer
sudo chmod +x autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure –enable-dualminer –enable-scrypt –disable-opencl  –prefix=$DIR_PATH/
make && make install
actually after doing the 1 2 3 you can mine using USB DualMiner
if you have one USB DualMiner ,insert it to your Pi directly is ok
but if you have two or more you should use a hub as the picture shows

THANKS that fixed it

will probably need to do the same for configure. that should fix your problem.

Got to Step 3-3:
But get the following error ... any thoughts?

In the last few days, I see sporadic failures where one or more DM 2s get disabled. I saw three disabled yesterday. The latest one just got disabled this morning:


I'm running the DM cgminer under Raspberry Pi on Orico hubs, with no more than 9 per hub. The rack is in a server closet that's kept cool. I have two USB fans (connected to a separate hub that's not connected to the Raspberry Pi) to move air through the units.

Any ideas as to how I can diagnose and fix this? Maybe there's an update to the cgminer software?

Once this happens, is there anything that I can do other than just rebooting? When I just bounce cgminer, the DMs don't necessarily come back. In fact, I just bounced cgminer and lost 6 devices.

using the one from dualminer.com and noticing one of my dualminers constantly goes idle.. even If there's only 9 on my orico hub this one will still go idle.  I am now trying this unit straight into my PC's usb port and the other 9 on the orico to see if it still goes idle again

also I tried the modified cgminer 3.5.0 from http://cryptomining-blog.com/1222-download-cgminer-3-5-0-for-dualminer-usb-scrypt-mining-on-windows/

but couldn't get it to launch with more than 4 devices (cgminer would crash with an error when I tried 5 or more)

I am getting a raspberry pi tomorrow for some gridseed unit's I've got coming.. do you know if its possible to run gridseed 5 chip units along side the dualminers within the raspberry pi? (on 2 orico hubs)

I have had success with dualminer's github custom cgminer in Raspbian and Ubuntu. I have had success running larger arrays in Windows but I have only found stability for very large arrays in linux. Are you using the windows client with cgminer and a GUI from dualminer.com, or are you using the cgminer from dualminer github?

so you changed all the ports to the USB ports using Zadig and can get more than 4 units to launch in cgminer?

hmm, maybe its because im on windows.. aren't you un raspberry pi?

Please follow the guide in my signature if you are having trouble running your DMs. Only 9 DMs are stable on orico p10-u2 hubs. Using the cgminer build from github I am running 99 units.

has anyone successfully been able to get 10 dualminers on an orico or etekcity 10 port powered hub?

also has anyone been able to get more than 4 dualminers working with the modified cgminer that's out for these things? I can get it working with 4 but any more than that and cgminer crashes

No ideas.  I have the similar situation with 5 Dualminers on Belkin 7-port powered by old PC-supply and fan cooled hub. One is catching nirvana at least once a day. Only unplug/plug is quick solution. System restart is also, but not practicing it because of more different miners controlled by same system. Win7 x64 BTW. Disable/enable under miner and/or device manager is not changing a thing. Uninstall under device manager is loosing it, so checking hardware changes is not finding "lost" Dualminer. Until unplug/plug...

Single, box fan pointed at them. 9 Works fine, I'm not going to complain.

No, try swapping USB ports and see if the idle follows the device or the port.
Also, see my blog article. If you are running in dual mode it may be pushing the limits of your powered hub.

Was your doing same thig? Going idle after awhile?

LTC mode with USB fan pointed at them

Cheers ... found it .. here the github link for reference: https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer

Which mode are you running in? Single or dual? Fan or no fan?
