Still no luck with the USB adapter Undecided

cgminer just spits out errors (compiled using --enable-blockerupter --enable-icarus --without-curses)

[2014-11-06 17:44:02] BET0: Unexpected value 00 received
[2014-11-06 17:44:02] BET0: Sync Error
[2014-11-06 17:44:02] BET0: Unexpected value 58 received
[2014-11-06 17:44:02] BET0: Sync Error
[2014-11-06 17:44:02] BET0: Unexpected value 58 received

it then segfaults after a little bit.

That's more progress than me. Mine simply doesn't get detected by cgminer no matter what I try. The USB adapter is the only thing the computer even sees. Sad

I am using the stock fan, but I've seen a few others using Silverstone Fans and fan controllers. I've had other people tell me to use other types of fans (I have not tried sliverstone) but the question would be what is the average temp of the room? Is the room your miner is in 85F? Are there other miners in the room? I'd recommend trying that fan with a controller if your room is not hot, I have tried many other fans like Corsair etc. and they were not strong enough since I have other miners in the same room. Contact Michcolo, they are very good. Then give your wife the monthly bill

It also might help to explain that you are making BTC with the miner, and that noise/heat is money

Has anyone replaced the insanely loud fans on these units? Im looking for a solution cause the old lady is not going to put up with it all winter.

Anyone using the USB adapters? cgminer can not find the miner...so I hot plug and nothing but errors

I have verified with Grapeape I have the dip switches and cables correct. I compiled cgminer-4.7.1 using --enable-blockerupter

I am using latest wheezy on a rasp pi and just tried it using a powered hub with same result.

We have 6 Prismas in our facility all running using the USB adapters, no problems.

5 are plugged into a powered hub then into a laptop.

1 is plugged directly into an RPi.

This part may or may not be an actual thing:
For me, when I plugged them in via USB, it seemed the board that I was plugging the controller cable into required all the pins to be down. After that it didn't matter the config of the other pins, as long as they were all unique configs. Otherwise it would spit out TONS of errors.

Is there any type of Rasp Pi image available with a nice web interface for these? Or just use wheezy and cgminer?

CrazyGuy was talking about making a Minera image for the RPi but I do not know where he is on it.

Here's my minera fork:
https://github.com/crazybitcoinguy/minera

I made minimal modifications to incorporate the ASICMiner and Rockminer cgminer fork, along with build functions for both versions. ckolivas merged in ASICMiner's changes to the main branch a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to use the standard minera image instead. It's worth a shot if you are looking for something easy. Otherwise, follow the manual installation instructions in the readme.

Please note that I've yet to receive any usb-uart adapters, so this is untested with Prismas and Tubes. I have run successfully with 10+ New RBoxes on an RPi.

Also, the manual installation method should probably work on other debian based platforms, so feel free to try installing on your cubies and beagle bones. Just make sure you run build_miner.sh after installation on those devices.

I will test it with USB and report back. So far nothing I have tried has worked with USB Undecided

You could try this.

May I ask which fans you used?

The ones Phillipma1957 suggested. I picked them up from newegg though.

Hopefully there is some sort of solution maybe one that involves installing another fan to help with the push pull?

I am pretty Minera image should work; as long as it has the latest CGMiner - the newest CGMiner has Prisma support included - no need for the special AM fork.
I am using mine with BE Controller thru BFGMiner proxy & using Awesome Miner for monitoring. Getting graphs from MRR...
Waiting on usb-uart so I can get it going with RPi w/ Minera

they keep promising but don't deliver Sad

we might have a problem here!
I finally talked with phasebird on QQ after a month of delays, he said he will send them today, I still got no tracking number

That sucks man Undecided

I picked up an In hand Prisma here on forums for 1.25BTC. Once they are actually in stock I might snag more if they drop the prices some.

I also have Silverstone 1500w, the problem is they only have four 8 pin connectors. Yes, if you had two of them it would work but would be a little overkill.

Quote from: Blazed on November 05, 2014, 02:29:31 PM

Well I suppose 2 x Corsair 1200AXi will do the trick Embarrassed

I have some Silverstone 1500s also, but those are no better than the LEPA.
