Any what CGminer is your Minera running?
It is running CGminer 4.8 and i compiled it with --enable-icarus

Hmm :/ Got another power brick to test with? That's a reasonably strong bet.

No i have just the one it comes with Sad Any other options?

Not really, need additional parts to test what you have. Else you can RMA.
Sorry English is not my main language. So i need to buy additional parts or i send the miner back where i ordered it?

Hey guys got mine now running for 24/7. I'm using a Raspberry Pi and as OS Minera. It keeps the mining process running and is monitoring the antminer. After all i still get only 20-40 GH/s !  Sad Any ideas on how to get it to the advertised 63GH/s. It is directly connected with the pi, i'm using the power source from antminer and i added an cooler to the bottom.

What parameters are you running? Screenshot?

Using this parameters:
Code:
sudo cgminer -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u x -p x --api-listen --api-network

Do you need more information?

What would everyone suggest as a good backup power supply to replace the crap one that the Antminer U3 came with? Amazon links if they carry it preferred...

6A one from my rockminer guide.

I really think we are all going to have to switch to ATX computer PSU's with breakout boards for these U3's.
Dogie I bought one of the ones you suggested after my first stock PSU melted. The replacement one you suggested lasted 4 days (at least it didn't melt or catch fire, it just died completely).
I had previously had 3 of those also die while using them for my R-boxes (the 5A version) but I just replaced them as they lasted 2 months before dying on me and I got them cheap ($6 each).

They're the same ones I'm using, and none of mine are even warm... Send it back and get another one.

Hey Dogie,

Just an FYI I  have two (2) Antminer U3's and I bought some replacement bricks with your referral (12v6a ones).  After running for about 20 minutes on stock settings they died and my office reeks like burning electronics. Not in any way, shape, or form saying this is your fault in any way just wanted to give you a heads up.

Well thats.... stupid. Leave a negative review on Amazon so more people are made aware. Unfortunately with some of these generic lines they can use excellent parts, then swap to worse ones without changing the page.

@Alesfatalis : A solution I found on a blog for linux.


su
nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Put this at the end :

slub_debug=FP

 save and restart the raspberry

I have the same problem with u3, as soon as my internet connection cut, it goes astray. I have to stop cgminer, remove and reconnect the USB and restart cgminer. I am running windows xp for now

ImCrazyOne  nice idea about connecting miner to PC directly.
A simple molex, I like it (sent a tip Smiley  )
Much better than the board - to 6 pin - to barrel I had set up.

I apologize @Alesfatalis could you tell me what distribution you put on your raspberry, and if you can give me the procedure to install cgminer above to rotate the u3.
Thank you in advance


@thephenix83 I'm using raspbian on my pi. To install cgminer you simply do this:

Code:
sudo git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git

cd cgminer

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config \
                             libcurl3-dev libudev-dev

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo ./configure --enable-icarus

sudo make install
