That is not a powerful hub. I wouldn't want to run more than two sticks on that max.

I only have one GekkoNewPac so this hub for one is more than enough.

If the target frequency is always at 100m then there is an issue with your .sh file.

What does your .sh file say?

which .sh file do you mean? Thanks

Easy tiger, as you can see I said two sticks max. I merely said it wasnt a powerful hub.

Have you tried creating a .sh file with all the details in which you then make executable and run that.

Hi there ! Getting stuck with one of my NewPac Miner, still 0 Chip(s) message coming from CGMiner. I'm running my whole set with a RaspberryPi 4 , and a 10 ports Sipolar USB hub. I've got this message concerning the micro temp. What's the matter with this key ?

If you have tried swapping it to different known good ports on the hub and the voltage pot is the same position as the working sticks and there is no visible signs of damage then I would say its a dead stick.

Hi NotFuzzyWarm thanks for the reply

Yes, the GekkoNewpac is powered by a powerful USB-Hub

there is no problem with that ...

Is it directly powered by the Pi or are you using a decent powered USB hub that can supply up to 2.5A?
All of the USB sticks must be ran off of a powered hub as they exceed the typical 500ma a PC port will supply.

Hi, I have a gekko new usb miner, I have installed cgminer on rasperry pi 4.

For now it is working on solo.ckpool.org, it seems to work fine.
The only problem is that I can't increase the frequency, overclocking doesn't work for me.

If I add the option

Code:

 --gekko-newpac-freq 200

for example it always remains at 100 MHz.
Any set frequency always remains at 100 Mhz!

What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone help me please?

Newbie question.

I have an r606 currently mining. If I were to purchase a couple of the newpac f sticks can I plug them into the same computer and mine with them as well using cgminer?

The new sticks (well all the sticks) need a powered hub to run best. You shouldn't run them on an un-powered or directly on inbuilt ports on a PC.

Where do you measure the voltage at on the NewPac? Does anyone have a voltage chart showing what voltage for a given frequency?

I am very new to all of this. My computer knowledge is barely above a newbie.
I have tried to select the May 26, 2019 and norton freaks out and will not let me go forward at all.
Am i doing something wrong is there a new driver to download.
Please help.

Because cgminer is sometimes included in malware programs to mine in the background without the PC user knowing it, Norton and most AV programs erroneously tag cgminer as malware. Just tell your AV program to ignore it.

Also there is a newer version of cgminer, it was updated by Kano to run Sidehack's latest stick and improve operation of his older ones. The whole shebang for it is here.
Trimmed version dealing with using the Win binary,

Quote

CGMiner Windows 10 32bit binary
https://kano.is/cgminer.zip
It will probably work on older windows, but I'm only testing it on Windows 10

The instructions to compile it yourself on Windows 10 are here:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/windows-build.txt

As with all USB miners on Windows, you must install Zadig and setup the miner.
This is documented in the CGMiner README https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/README

edit: The Zadig USB driver is here https://zadig.akeo.ie/

@ OS2sam, all the wires the same color? If so then the PSU does not meet the ATX standards

On my Seasonic Titanium they are all black.

Talk about cutting every fraction of a penny they can on production costs... That is taking it too far. The only reasoning I can see is someone decided, "if a customer wants to use the mobo plug then they have access to something like the Wikipedia on ATX and can look at the pinouts. Who needs colors `cause they would know the colors from the same spec sheet as the pinouts!"

In that wiki, search for "color" to see what the 20-pin plug is supposed to use. I hope they did not also decide to use aluminum wiring for the flying leads... Twits.

@ altruisticminer Faboo! Merit given for letting us know you got things worked out

@ OS2sam, all the wires the same color? If so then the PSU does not meet the ATX standards - those mainly deal with the physical sizes, AC power connection and cooling vent locations and of course, wire colors. The PON signal wire is supposed to be green and blacks are supposed to all be returns...

Glad to hear it.

That connector came with the last few Power Supplies I've bought. They do make things easier. Especially when all the wires are the same color.

Only trick is that you will need the 'paper clip trick' to turn on the PSU. If you look at the large mobo plug you will see a green wire in it, use a piece of wire or bare metal paper clip to join the green to one of the black wires next to it to turn on the power.

Alternatively, fool-proof and maybe more secure long-term (paperclip might fall out) - one of these.
Just looking for 'PSU jumpers' yields many (also cheap) results.
Also included in many higher-end PSUs as far as I know.
