Topic: Fury/Blizzard tuning and mods - page 5. (Read 115254 times)

i couldn't find it when I use lsusb command in the linux machine it's connected to.
changed cables, change power adapter, the working one always work, the not working one stays not working.

After a month of smooth mining, I had one of four the light wasn't on.
Unplugged it and plugged back in, light came on.

Found, by checking device mananger,  that windows assigned it usb port 7 instead of 5, which was the port to scan in my bat file.
at first, I changed the bat file, then during one of maintenance sessions I
Shutdown. rebooted and the usb port went back to 5.

Anyway its worth checking that all your config is as original.

You are not the only one. Prices are falling fast and furious the last week. Better sell them while they are still worth little over 10 bucks 

Fan is running when I plug it in.

I have a set still working, so swapped the cables and the power brick, the working one still works. The not working one is still not detectable and no light when connected to usb.

Power...Check it...

Fury owners,

If there is no light when you plug in the USB cable, it is dead. Or is there something that can be done?

I got a pair, working nicely over the weekend, runs quite cool, the one of them ceased to be detected. no light when connected to USB. checked cables, cables worked with the one that still has light when connected.

Any remedy?

anyone want to buy some more blizzards in the eu? i have 5 to get rid of.

Yeah I discovered the same things pretty much. But for Zeus I'm using 342 and for GS 972 seems to be good. But every chip/device is different so you guys might want to go lower/higher to find the sweet spot.

Supposedly you can go to 1000 on the GS. Mine just freaked out and sat there. 1 is at 975 and 2 at 950. They run fine. Your true error rate is probably higher. The no-submit-stale command fools your actual output info. I have 2 Zeus going at 346. Getting good hashs. Anything higher and they freak too. You're pretty much maxed. Like I said tho, check your device mgr. It will help. Happy mining.

Thanks

Error rates are less than 2% at 950 for me. Might try higher sometime.

Running in Win7.

No rPi experience.

Such a long .bat. Why not run a .conf? But.....

I can tell you that they are real finicky about your USB hub & USB in general. Also, are you in Win? If so, go to device manager and make sure you don't have any grey devices in the 2 USB portions. Check COMs as well. (check the 'show hidden' in pulldown). It messes /w your settings as well. Also, I've found that they like to be plugged in 1 at a time and be installed before you start mining, even if you are using hotplug. I guess it's just the nature of the beast.

I run my Zeus at a 346 clock. They stay within my limits of under 7% errors (ah, maybe over time. How's the error rate /w the GridSeeds at 950? You might want to give 975 a try but I've got one that won't run above 925. Hope I helped a little. Know anybody with some rPi experience?

I have 2 gridseed blades and 5 furys running on this box. Sometimes I can get them all running in one instance of BFGminer 4.7 but more than often not.

Anyone have a tip or 2 on getting it to work?

Occasionally it will detect everything. Usually only detects the Blades.

Bat looks like this:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=950 zus:all --set zus:clock=340 -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u x -p x --no-submit-stale --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://us-west.multipool.us:7777 -u x -p x --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://pool.ipominer.com:3333 -u x -p x

Thanks for any suggestions.

I've used BFG before but actually prefer CG. Don't know why but I seem to get better hashs. Even used BFG for sha but still prefer CG. Clueless on the rPi except being able in install an image. Minera...is that a Linux program? Will it allow me to use the rPi as my controller so I can shut down my computer?

Thanks

Forgot to mention use bfgminer script in minera

I wont quote your message buy recomend to try minera for the SCRYPT miners on RPI not sure how to get Sha256 on it because this issue im having too

NOBODY? Awww...comon. I've been up all night trying to come up with a program image. Linux is a foreign language to me. Does anyone have a working one they'd like to share?

Thanks!

I didn't see any updates for that version and I've finally got EVERYTHING that's Windows related running. YEAH! Now for the remaining problems.

I seriously need some help with this. I have an rPi unit that I'd like to get setup for my mining rigs. But...I have NO clue. I did get it to show up on my monitor. Found out you can't run the NOOBS image setup and see it unless you have a separate monitor hooked up. It needs an actual working image for the monitor to work over the network/router. I get that. I know how to install a image, but which one? Wheezey, Pidora, etc.? I had Wheezey going but it's not a GUI. Tried the help file....yeah, right.

Now the biggy: Here's my situation, I have;

2 BECubes, 5 RedFury USB sticks, 3 Gridseed 5chip, 2 GawFury (Zeus).

I use different versions of CGMiner for each of these. (the Cubes just run the proxy /w direct router hookup) The rest run off 1, 10 port hub. The RedFurys are all run together on BTCGuild. The Gridseeds are running individually on 2 scrypt pools. The GawFurys are run individually on the same 2 scrypt pools.

That means I have 7 windows open including the Cube proxy, the Fury version of CG, the GridSeed version of CG x 3, and the Zeus version of CG x 2. That equals 6 CG windows + 1 proxy window. I run it that way so I can see what each miner is doing.

Confused yet?    I am!  So, how do I load that onto an 8GB SD card for an rPi to be the controller? Please help! I don't know code, compiling, Linux, none of that. I can make others software work, provided it's written correctly. I can tweak. I can tweak a config file. So setup is something I'm cool with. But ....

ANYBODY?

I've a rPi sitting here, haven't bothered configuring it yet or even looking up how to configure...

Maybe give this cgminer a whirl?

I'm on Windows 7, works well enough for me.


Maybe this weekend I'll check if there are updates and roll another one.

Give Minera a shot.  Works great for my fury and GS Minis

Hey....thanks....if you get the time.....eternal peace out to ya! No, serious, let me know what is needed. But, I am confused. You can connect to a computer monitor /w a rPi via the network? Really? Friggin' eh...that would be cool. Putty? Um..kinda know what a ssh is but it's out of my realm. In an earlier post I said I'm NOT a compiler, programmer, code writer,etc., but can tweak the heck outa someone elses stuff.

       

AND, AND, AND....jeez am I lame. Been having all this trouble trying to get CG & BFG running. Such a dunce. Ummm...ya know...I shoulda gave my .conf file a better look. Syntax is sooo important. If ya forget to enter a number and leave a little 0 instead...well, it FREAKs things up. Slap me and call my Mama. Forgot to enter the Zeus clock speed. Instead, I put in the 'ltc-clk" : "340",....and that ain't right. I left Zeus at zero....poor babies were more confused than me. Needless,...

All is right in my world.  

Now, about that monitor situation for my rPi?
