Topic: can someone help me with a gridseed miner please 0.02 btc for help (Read 1555 times)

I did that too initially but regardless of what miner I used cpu or cg the rasberry just was not reliable with 20 gridseeds connected to it.

1) Get a RaspberryPi
2) Install Scripta to SD card (https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.0)
3) Configure Pool
4) Connect Gridseed.
5) Done.

I got my 4 running on Win7 64bit with CGminer,it was too easy!! I'm only mining altcoins,not BTC,so my power draw is 7 watts each or so.

Download CGminer 3.7.2 from here:

http://minersource.net/pages/miner-setup-guides

It's down the page abit,heres the link:

Put it on your desktop & open it,look for LTC only bat file,right click it & use EDIT to change the pool info to your pool,hit SAVE.

Next get Zadig USB driver & install it,be sure your miners are plugged in & powered up:

Unplug all USB cables to miners before you fire up CGminer,its hotplug install for some reason.

Now to run CGminer double click the LTC only bat file,after its up & running,give it a minute & then just plug your USB cables in (I use a USB hub & just plug it in with my miners all plugged to it) & CGminer should see & run your miners.

This is what the bat file looks like:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://YOUR POOL:PORT-u USERID -p PASSWORD --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=5 --hotplug 0
 pause

I added this to make mine work:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://YOUR POOL:PORT -u USERID -p PASSWORD --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=5 --hotplug 30 --usb :10

pause

I got that info from here:

Good luck,it took a few tries & restarts for it to "take" for me,so try that if things act up  

EDIT: You'll need to uninstall the USB drivers you used for BFGminer 

Quick search on google indicates your power supplies might be just enough to get them to start running but once they get going and heat up they're not getting enough juice.

I've also had the same problem with the USB stick they'll run for a day then they'll error out like they're not getting enough power.

wish I could help - I use windows all day long at work and have all my gridseeds and blades running off linux at home.

ps: the units blink regardless of any activity.

I'd check to make sure they're registering as usb devices to start

then check to make sure you can actually connect to the pool you're using with a ping or even try a telnet session to the pool:port

there's a good thread on the site here about installing and configuring your grideeds and it include windoze and linux.

good luck

using windows 32
