i was thinking about getting these

These are just amazing http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00080G0BK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 .

i sort of have something like that now.. i took apart an old psu and hooked it to usb.

but.. i was thinking about making something more permanent.
at only a couple bucks each those fans would fit on the heatsink and only need 5v.

so, got a new usb 3.0 hub (tp-link uh720), but can't get the bitshopper-version working in bfgminer on rpi b+.
usb 2.0 hub worked fine but was too weak. any suggestion?

try

Quote

-S all --set compac:clock=200

you shouldn't need

Quote

-S all

but sometimes it might help.

like some one said USB 3, doesn't work well with any raspberry PI, self powered or not, I have yet to get any USB 3 hub to work with any RPI but have with other PI types and make sure the USB hub is self powered, most PI's can't power hubs if they have a way to self power them self and the ones that need external power like PCs or PIs for this type of use, seem to be junk .

To start with your drivers.
You are damn right!

it seems to work now! I must have been blind!
Strange that it did not install this driver when i put the usb in?

I started on a macosx, then linux, and as a last resort on windows.
I'm going to try this on the other platforms since i just installed windows to test this.

What drivers are needed on linux or macosx?

Thanks Toptek for the advice!

Linux comes with both drivers for BFG and CFGMINER, for windows, BFG is best, it seems to pick it up better etc , i use PI's of all types for my controllers that run different versions of Linux. The main Linux site or versions i use are here http://www.armbian.com/ he covers all PIs so far but raspberry. from time to time if I'm messing around I may DL berryboot http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot .

That is pretty cheap. I'd kind of link overclocking my stick to 20GH/s, maybe this would work.

Anyone know if these make noise? I just have a bad experience with small fans. So far it seem the smaller they are, the more ear-rape they are.

Does anyone have any experience with these Y-cables?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/39cm-USB-2-0-A-Female-to-2-Dual-USB-male-Hub-Power-Adapter-Y-Splitter-cable-Cord-/141745213314?hash=item2100ac4f82:g:j5wAAOSwd0BVzVp8

The reason I ask is that I got one from Amazon and when I measured the voltage and amps on my Drok I was seeing a .3-.4V drop and a .3-.5A drop depending if I was using 2 or 1 of the male ends. I was just wondering if anyone else saw anything like?

Now one caveat here, I was using this to charge a tablet, so does that make any difference? I have not tested it on the stick miner yet because I was concerned with the initial results. Any help would be appreciated.

on the b+ you have to use a 2.0 non powered hub then plug in your 3.0 hub and it will work i had to do it with my raspberry pi b+ 512

there are some non and powered hubs out there that will not work with with the pi

Oops... well:

Get some Y usb cable and use the USB3 for power only Cheesy

no, bfgminer doesn't detect the stick. also only the green led on the stick is on, not the blue one which is blinking when it's mining.
i already tried connecting the hubs to each other, this also didn't help.

Are they detected at all ?
Any error message ?

Also try to plug the Usb3 hub in the usb2 hub and the usb2 in the rpi.

RPI doesn't like USB3 a lot.

--set compac:clock=0x0783

Also, besides the driver mentioned, you should use integers for the clock setting in 5.4.1, not the hex value.

earlier i asked about this miner and haven't been able to make it work.. time is passing without mining and having this thing in my hands.. Sad

for most simplicity, i'm testing using windows 7 home premium.
using BFG-Miner 5.4.1 (supported since 5.3 right?)
miner from bitshopper.de
i search cmd and right click to start with admin rights.
go to directory, and start bfg miner with:
bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -O 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --set compac:clock=0x0783
NO DEVICES FOUND. (press M + auto or all finds nothing)
in device manager i do see: Compac BM1384 USB Miner
Hardware ID = USB\VID_10C4&PID_EA60&REV_0100

Should this thing be like "plug and play" or do i need to install some drivers? I have also tried winusb zadig drivers but still no fun..

Starting to get desperate and i'm really thinking if i received some faulty thing..
it's been like 2 months since i received it, and everytime i have some spare time, it just won't work...
must have used up like at least 12 hours on this thing... grrrrrr...

Hope someone can see what's up.. and give me some clear instructions..

wrong drivers to start with
use these http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx , windows should download them for you, even win 7, but it looks like the wrong drivers for BFG, and it should be plug and play once you have bfg setup. but it's not all ways.
