Quick question
How can you run these and usb erupters at the same time in one instance of BFGMiner?

I wonder if I have a bad unit. I've read through this thread, and I've never seen anything better than 1.2GH/s. Different setups, always powered. Screen shot below shows bfgminer 3.5.1, but I've tried cgminer 3.7.2 and bfgminer 3.2.0. Linux and windows.
If this is a bad unit, can I send it in for a replacement/repair?

I am having the same problem and I have also tried Linux, Windows, cgminer and bfgminer. Have you made any progress?
Yes, I contacted my group buy leader. Sending the unit back to him for replacement.
Are your devices still available ?
If yes send me message
If yes send me message

Anyone know how to clear my com ports out. Every time I switch from Zadig to Alpha driver it keeps ahold of the old com port and uses a new one.

The compensation has been sent out to all groupbuy leaders. If you have a faulty unit you need to contact your groupbuy leader to go through the process of a replacment device.
Ok, thanks a lot, I'll contact Dabs.
Appreciate your help.

Still haven't received compensation from julz. Not even a reply in his thread.
Yeah, it's time they got serious about the compensation. I bought twelve of them, one of them needs replaced or refunded as it only hashes at 0.5 GH/s, the other eleven did not make the advertised rate of 2.2-2.7 GH/s, they all perform at about 2.1 GH/s... and all twelve of them did not arrive on the 'first or second week of October', they arrived a month late.

its going to be summer over here soon, I expect mine to fry 
Thanks again for your suggestion. Here is the result after about 15 minutes
Clearly better than the 2.26 GH/sec that it was getting originally.
Cheers
Kabopar,
I found drawing a line along the side was easiest, one to two lines did it for me.
my initial scribbling over the top was not necessary :-)
i'd measure the resistance again after, I'd not let it go below 0.84.
you might need the eraser and a couple of attempts to get the right result.
Thanks for this suggestion, I just tried it and it does work, finally the resistance moved from 0.97K to 0.94K. after 4 minutes I'm getting 2.40/2.38/2.33 (bfgminer 3.5.1), which is better than anything this BF produced before. So far there is no noticeable heating, but it could be too early to tell. (It's going to be summer here soon too, hopefully the bushfires will not be ignited by overheating BlueFuries...I found drawing a line along the side was easiest, one to two lines did it for me.

I disagree in regard to running -S bigpic:all. I am running my single BF with bfgminer 3.5.1, with the 'alfa driver' provided by Beastlymac, through a batch file called #MINE.bat on Win7 64, the content of this batch file is
bfgminer.exe -S bigpic:all -o [pool url] -u [user name] -p [password]
bfgminer.exe -S bigpic:all -o [pool url] -u [user name] -p [password]
You can use -S bigpic:all as long as you don't also have USB Block Erupters. As has been discussed before, using -S bigpic:all will screw up erupters, and using -S erupter:all will screw up BFs.
Thanks Norby! I was trying to say that. I hope everything worked out for you Lou!
BTW G'morning all
Hi,
I got the driver installed on Win8.1 but none of the Blue Fury's are showing up in bfgminer 3.5.1 on my PC or MinePeon 0.24rc2(with git pull). Does anyone know what commands I should use to get them all to show. I have 4 of them on 2 usb hubs(2 each hub). I have tried plugging into USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and a no go for both. Anyone have any ideas? I would prefer to use them on Minepeon.
This is what i'm using below for Minepeon.
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM0 -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM1 -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM3 -S bitfury:/dev/ttyAMA0 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
This is the list of the devices listed using "ls /dev/tty*

Thanks.
How do you know which tty belongs to what miner?
Not sure about Arch but on Debian like systems
Code:
udevadm info --query=all -n /dev/ttyACM0 | grep ID_VENDOR
Just replace the ttyACM0 (above) with the device you need info on. Same goes for ttyUSB devices.

Hi,
Still can't get it to work with the suggested settings. What versions of cgminer and bfgminer work with Bluefury's? Are they the same settings for both? Can someone assist me by entering the settings under each one if it is specific to that miner or if it is both the same put it under both. I am running Windows8.1x64. The driver for the miners have been installed and COM ports have been assigned.
cgminer = 3.8.0-3.8.1?
bfgminer = 3.5.0-3.5.1?
both = ?
Thanks.
For me Cgminer, but I'm running it on a rasberry pi (Unix based O/S)

FrontLineFodder,
I also measured 0.97K in circuit. The surface of R15 on my BF is very smooth, and the HB lead simply doesn't stick to it, so it the resistance stays unchanged... I'll keep trying...
Your results are encouraging, even if you went a bit 'over', causing the heatsink to dislocate
Cheers

Pencil Mod development.
I modded a one of my other ones, from ~2.2Gh/s to 2.9Gh/s, it ran for about 12 hours before seeminly dropping off, got home and found it's heatsink was coming off ( might replace it now, just apply heat )
pencil mod, not very precise, don't push it too far. good thing is, you can use an eraser to undo it.
has anybody else taken a resistance measurement across R15 (in circuit) ? what do you get ? I saw 0.97Kohms before pencil modding, 0.87Kohms after, the one I took to 2.9Gh/s was around 0.84Kohms (too far).

Recommended cgminer for bluefuries is 3.8.1. However windows 8.1 I have heard has lots of problems with usb devices.
Hi,
I also have a Raspberry Pi I am using with MinePeon software. I can't get that device to pick up the BlueFury's. Do you know if they are supported on there also? Which version? What commands are needed?
Thanks.
I haven't had any issues on my latest build of BFGMiner I made last thursday or the one I made previously and posted a download link/instructions for a few pages back on this thread. I've been gone a couple of days, so about to start checking what updates came out (if any) and make builds if needed. If you need help, let me know.
Hi,
I switched the USB hub out. It worked using these settings.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S bigpic:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
/usr/bin/screen -dmS miner /opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S bigpic:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
cgminer will not see them at all.
To confirm will 4 BlueFury's work with a 2AMP usb hub? Can I put any more?
Now a second question. Why are the error rates so high?
Thanks.
Anyone know how to clear my com ports out. Every time I switch from Zadig to Alpha driver it keeps ahold of the old com port and uses a new one.

You could try the device manager cleanup instructions in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/windows-many-usb-hubs-and-besfuries-clean-up-in-your-devices-manager-300638They don't show up in the Device manager not even when I unhide
It helped me with multiple Com port settings for BE's.
Cheers
what is the stock voltage being fed to the a sic?
maybe kinda working on custom fw as a side project
and what is this curious driver-BF2 in https://github.com/aauer1/bfgminer you posted O.o
That is our version of bfgminer 3.0.99maybe kinda working on custom fw as a side project

As for voltage I am not sure I will ask.
