Topic: CGMINER Windows build for TECHNOBIT's Boards (Read 22530 times)

Hi
why my Hex8A1 reject shares?

Little late BUT. I can no longer find that type build for the cgminer. Could  ANYBODY point me to a link or right direction to obtain the software needed to run the device (technobit HEX16a,b,c etc). Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated ...Thank You,

With the help of "farmdve" from the Bulgarian Bitcoin forum BitcoinBG.eu here it is, the windows build of cgminer supporting Technobit boards like HEX16A2, HEX16B/B2, HEX8A1 etc.

Step by Step guide:
Updated: 29.12.2014

1. Files to download:
Zadig: http://zadig.akeo.ie/downloads/zadig_2.1.0.exe
Cgminer: http://bitcoinbg.eu/tools/technobit/cgminer_technobit_win_0_4_1b.zip
Cgminer Dice Version - Latest: http://bitcoinbg.eu/tools/technobit/cgminer_technobit_win_0_4_1_DICE.zip

EDIT 21.7.2017: Updated links for cgminer win https://mega.nz/#F!qIIXGbAY!VqmgqasZJz-FiYAMS5RDWQ

2. Connect the board don't install any drivers if asked


2.1. If you had installed previous com drivers from technobit the device will be recognized as COM port in device manager:

Leave it like this

3. Right Click on Zadig -> Run As Administrator

3.1. Go to Options and Check "List All Devices"

3.2. From the dropdown menu find the Technobit device connected


3.3. Click "Replace Driver", after installation finish click "Close"


3.4. Check if the driver is installed correctly, choose the board again from the dropdown menu, you should see something like this:


In device manager it is under Universal Serial Bus devices:

If you see this than your device is properly installed.

4. Extract the archive and just run cgminer.exe to test your installation

4.1 Edit cgminer.conf to suit your needs, the config file is with common settings for all supported devices.
you need Notepad++ to see linebreaks in cgminer.conf

5. Run cgminer.exe, if the board is not detected or you get some errors just replug it.

5.1 /not needed anymore/ In case that the board is still not recognized after replugging the usb cable, try edit the cgminer.conf field corresponding to your board:

change to


Here we go


This version is tested and runs on everything from Technobit except HEX16A, you can check my reviews of the boards for settings:
HEX16A2 (HEXc)
HEX16B (HEXb)
HEX16B2 BitFury2 (HEXb)
HEX8A1 260GH (HEX8)
HEX8A1 130GH (HEX8)
HEX4M 400GH (HEXM)
HEX4R - Spondoolies RokerBox
HEX16A4 - Avalon 4

Not tested with mixed boards.

Cgminer for !!! ONLY !!! HEX16A !!! ONLY !!!

Hello !

My Hex8A1 only rejected shares. Why ? Thank you answer ! http://kepfeltoltes.hu/view/141214/2014-12-14_21_41_23-cgminer_technobit_win_0_4_1b_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.png

Can anyone recommend a Quality hub (12+prts) that will allow me to connect my 5 hex4m's together with my 4 hex8a1's and two hex16b's to my pc and and I will also want one to use it for the technobit openwrt router later since i'm building a 2nd setup in the shed. I am located in the EU so I would have to pay 21% vat on anything coming from the US but please I have tried many times  and failed spending several hundreds of euros in the process....

Anyone have details or a link to details about the correct conf file config for HEX4M boards? I am getting everything to fire up just fine with cgminer... but I'd like to play around with the power settings a bit and see what i can get out of the boards.

Hello 2Good,

I am currently running my six technobit hex16a2 at 1000MHz/ 850 mv.  Do you have any opinion about how much longer it would be still worth keeping these plugged in, before they are too unprofitable to run?

I get the following error message when I try to run the new version:

got 3x 240 GHs HEX8A1 Coincraft A1

try get them running under windows

hexminer link provide no file....
http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/498738/hexminer-A1-rar.html

did try follow that guide
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cgminer-windows-build-for-technobits-boards-569689

the ccminer see no devices did follow the guide and all troubleshoot hints

why if windows isnt working do u promote it?
just make it required buy that tp-link if thats the only stable way run the miner

i suggest provide up to date mining software for windows

would this support the newer boards like avalon 3 asicminer?

Hi, I had been trying to download your cgminer build, but I get file not found. Would you main to post the new link.

Thanks,

maybe you have to add the entire folder to exclusions in your AV software

ok, another thing. This build seems to make McAfee remove the file cgminer.exe without even asking if I want it removed or trusted.

Cgminer download link dead. Can you fix it please? Thanks

Yeah, on second thought I think you are right.  With the help of your version of CGMINER I am now over the 0.65 BTC mark with my 6  miners.  If I manage to pass the 1 BTC level, I think that they will have served their purpose.  I dropped the voltage slightly and am still averaging over 120 GH.    

 HEXc 0: 1050  900/ 917mV | 17.70G/16.70Gh/s | A:171008 R:1248 HW:2262/1.25% WU:233.3/m

Unfortunately we are rapidly approaching the end of the line for the useful life of this miner.  Considering the power consumption is just under 4 watts per GH. 

In that case you would use the 4 pin molex connector from the ATX power supply, or the SATA connector through the following adapter:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WSUZH0/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The other options for troubleshooting this could include:

 - Try this on a different computer.  I had to eventually give up on trying to get this to work on one of my computers.
 - Try adding a USB hub between the computer and the miner.  Use a different USB cable to make sure you have a good one.  Also, certain computers don't play nice with the miner's USB connection.
 - Try using a different ATX power supply.
 - If all else fails, you could still use the original Hexminer software.  I ran it for a couple months with my miners, before I was able to figure out how to get cgminer for windows to work.  It is less stable and crashes more easily, but still works ok.

Links updated, sorry about that.

On the next build I'll add support for BFL and other common ASIC devices

Cgminer download link doesn't work. Could you fix it?

My commands are all in a line, but I was able to muddle through and get custom clocks running. 

just tested it again, at first I get hexminer device not recognised and then replug while cgminer is working and voala.

... and yes HEX16A is listed as "CDC RS-232 Emulation Demo"

@snowcrawl
@jammertr

Can you please check in device manager how device is listed.

OP updated with the build. Please test it and report back

me and 2 more miner will like it too

I would love to see HEX16a support, I hate hexminer, crashes way too many times.

............
Cgminer for HEX16A on request, since the board barely pays for it's consumption.
