I run these with no issues on the latest version of Kano's cgminer.

Code:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u BTC.WORKERNAME -p x --gekko-start-freq 350 --gekko-compacf-freq 580 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60 --suggest-diff 3000

What do you have your voltage set to?

I see anywhere between 3.5A per port and up to 4.1A draw per port depending on the stick.

does anyone know the total amount of compac F able to run properly off one Raspberry pie 4?

I have confirmed that you can run up to 15 sticks on a Pi4. The 8GB Pi4 version that is.

Anymore than that and it won't see any additional devices (or at least in my case).

Thank you !!!!

Do you set the voltage using a amp meter in between the hub and stick?

I use one of these:

It's going to depend somewhat on the speed you run them at, but users here have reported up to 14 sticks to a Pi.

Hello, I received a compac f from gekkoscience but it does not work, even after installing the correct drivers and the correct cgminer, it is marked as inactive, in the device manager it is displayed as FT232EX

Are you using Windoze? If so use Zadig to install the WinUSB driver.

Thanks very much

Probably best to contact your reseller for support first. If they are unable or unwilling, you could get help here.

Ah, OK, yes I think the windows binary might? actually work on an Intel MacOS,
but that would also run way too slow.

Only inside a Windows VM or maybe using Wine. But I don't see why anyone would want to do that, since there are macOS build instructions available.

Regarding speed: I've ran Compac F's from cgminer in a VM and it was fine. I like to use VMs when experimenting with a new codebase to get an understanding of it & that prevents clutter on my host when installing different compilers, dependencies and whatnot.

USB passthrough has come a long way!

sorry im a complete noob. can you explain how and were to put commands

In the Terminal. https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal/welcome/mac

Quote from: MXG125 on January 08, 2023, 11:06:06 AM

also for some reason i cannot vet the change frequency and tuning commands to work. any ideas. this is what iv have so far :
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 -u -p x --gekko-compacf-detect --gekko-compacf-freq 500

You are following the wrong section of the guide. .exe is always a Windows binary. You should neither download, nor try to run, a Windows binary on Mac, it won't work. Download and run the right binary for your OS and it should be good.

Everything is explained here: https://kano.is/gekko.php

The build steps linked in https://kano.is/gekko.php explain how to build cgminer on a Mac OSX:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/mac-build.txt

And yes all commands are run in a Terminal

Yep you are spot on. Didn't see that they were using a Mac.

Well, the API output will tell you that.
Also on Linux or Mac running 'top' in a terminal will tell you that also.
On Mac the docs mentions something to try.

When you set the target to 460MHz as you have done, each miner needs more than 11W as it mentions on the gekko.php page.
https://kano.is/gekko.php#res
Looks like you don't have anywhere near that power per miner or your power source is no good.
(Edit: or the computer is way too slow.)

With that many CompacF miners you'd need at least one powered hub like the Gekko one.

Unrelated to your issue:
Of course showing A: at the top helps knowing how long you've run it.
Usually it takes an hour or so to get a good idea of how it's performing.
