have to play around a bit later to get the display error fixed.

I've posted a short desciption to get them hashing...:

---> for more than one device: cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COMx -S //./COMy

Thank you yxt, already saw this helpful information and it's working perfectly fine as long as no other devices (different ones, in my case a Lancelot) using the Icarus protocol. It seems different options and timings for different devices causing display errors, but it's nothing to worry about. However, found a workaround, if someone is interested -> send me a PM. Would be really OT in this groupbuy thread. Wink

@yxt:

Until which ID are parcels already shipped to final consumers in Germany or EU?
Do you send us the parcel numbers to our email addresses, if the parcel ist going out, or is it to much effort?

My order is in the last shipment.  I can't wait to receive them.

I'm going to be using a Rpi too.  I recieved my rpi and my usb hub is on the way.

Maybe you should reinstall the image to the SD card.

Good idea. I'm going to try.

Ok, I tried with a fresh copy of MinePeon-2013-05-25.img, done your solution, configured the pool via web, but I can't still get the Stats option. I still get the following options:

If I try https://192.168.10.117/miner.php, I still get the Server Error:

I can see that cgminer is running, via screen command, but the CPU is almost idle (via HTOP). It is not mining at all. With the prior version, the 2 other RPI's are mining @ 150KHash/s (LOL).

I had the same problem, I can't acces the stats page.

First I had to set the correct date:

[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ date
Thu Jan  1 01:11:24 BST 1970

[minepeon@minepeon ~]$ sudo date --set="30 May 2013 17:07"
[sudo] password for minepeon:
Thu May 30 17:07:00 BST 2013

At least a had to create the file /opt/minepeon/var/rrd/hashrate.rrd

[minepeon@minepeon dev]$ touch /opt/minepeon/var/rrd/hashrate.rrd

Now I can access the stats page.

But, my Raspberry don't discover my USB Block Erupter. Any idea?

I tried your solution with beta 1 and I still can't get the STATS option. Going to /miner.php, I get the same Server Error. I did a reboot... same problem.

Cool, nun rennt es auch mit dem Raspberry (mit der Anleitung dauert das Konfigurieren 3 Minuten):

 ICA 0:                | 335.3/340.4/348.6Mh/s | A:23 R:0 HW:0 U: 4.87/m
 ICA 1:                | 335.5/350.6/272.8Mh/s | A:18 R:0 HW:0 U: 3.81/m

@Milquetoast
thx  Smiley

mineforeman is working on an update which will make these USB sticks plug & play, but until then, here's how I got minepeon beta 1 working with them now. *There may be a better way, this is just how I did it.

At the command line:
1. type (or copy/paste)
Code:
sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/bfgminer.service
Now you're looking at a simple text editor
2. use the down arrow to find the line that starts with "ExecStart=" This is the command that will start bfgminer
3. on that line, use the right arrow to find "bfgminer -S auto"
4. change "-S auto" to "-S /dev/ttyUSB0" for a single miner, or "-S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1" etc for multiple sticks
5. press ctrl+x to exit. nano will ask if you want to save your changes, press y.
6. type
Code:
sudo systemctl stop cgminer.service
(Stops cgminer)
7. type
Code:
sudo systemctl disable cgminer.service
(Stops cgminer from starting at boot)
8. type
Code:
sudo systemctl enable bfgminer.service
(Makes bfgminer start at boot)
9. type
Code:
sudo systemctl start bfgminer.service
(Starts bfgminer) You should now be mining, use the next steps to check
10. type
Code:
sudo screen -r
to display the miner's console interface, check to make sure it's mining
11. hold ctrl and tap a then d to exit back to the prompt without killing bfgminer

If you have any trouble, feel free to PM me. I'll provide as much help as I'm able.

And meanwhile...

I do like the new feature in my own forum signature, next to the link to my mining pool: (Forum warning: Possible phishing link!)

ct1aic, your little Gizmos will find their way as well, just one or two or three nights more to sleep. Smiley


I think it will be a week-end without sleeping...  Cry

I will receive them next week, for sure.

The cgminer screen shot  looks like you are getting 660mh/s for each usb - I thought they were 330mh/s each ?

It's just a display/calculation error in cgminer. Devide 660 MHs by 2 and this will be the accurate number: 330. To confirm, U is around 5 with diff 1. Everything within specs. Wink Reason for this display error might be I've running the Block Erupters (one core) with a Lancelot (two cores), have to play around a bit later to get the display error fixed. However, just wanted to show they arrived and hashing.

MineForeman.com They (the USB ASIC Miners) definitely won't work with the previous version (of MinePeon) and while they will work with the current version it is totally untested. As soon as I get some of these devices in my hand I will be testing and probably releasing a new version with optimisations.

For Raspberry Pi users, Mineforeman.com is working on the software MinePeon (http://mineforeman.com/2013/05/26/minepeon-beta-1-code-name-butterfly-bob-released/). Beta 1, out 2 days ago, would detect and use our USB Gizmos, but it's untested yet as they don't have any USB Asic Miner and are still waiting for it.

I had problems with this version, as I can't access the stats page. I already discussed this with them and they are trying to bypass the problem. Previous alpha versions don't have support to this kind of Gizmos.

I had the same problem, I can't acces the stats page.

I'll try later, when arriving home.

Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you the extraordinary sensation, theee Block Erupter USB:

      

Note: ICA0 is a Lancelot, ICA1-4 Block Erupters. MHs display values for Block Erupters doubled due to my test setup, have to play around with cgminer options. Tongue

Vielen Dank yxt! Grin

CONGRATULATIONS! You are so lucky... My 2 USB Gizmos still are in transit between Germany and Portugal...
