Followed your directions and got everything running on the first try. Only getting ~80GH/s with cgminer, though.

Not sure how to address that, but I'll look for other versions of cgminer and maybe try bfg in hopes of getting the advertised 100+GH/s.

edit: good error rate, though... about 0.17%

Are you using 330 clock speed? 5000th post.

This is great. I should have my first New R-Box in a day or two and I was wondering how to get my power supply running absent a motherboard. Thanks for answering that simply! I have some bridges from a breadboard I'll use instead of a paperclip, though.

Please forgive my ignorance, but if I have a 350W power supply and I just have 1 New R-Box running on it, will the power supply pull 350W, ~115W, or some other amount from the wall?

It will pull a little more than the R-Box draws, depending on the power supply efficiency.

Just a quick post to note my success with the new R-Box:

I was able to get it working with BFGMiner easily enough, but wouldn't get more than around 85-90 GH/s, no matter how I tweaked the clock settings.

Switching to CGMiner, I am getting around 110-120GH/s at a clock of 330.

So I would have to recommend using CGMiner for the R-Box.

(BFGminer gives nice per-chip stats, though. Sad

)

could you post your settings plz on cgminer? thanks

I got mine up and running smoothly at an average 100Gh/s using the standard clock of 270.
Can anybody tell me how to increase that clock rate?
Once I find out how to change that I'll be able to play around with it a bit more, maybe after I change the fans in it for quieter and better performing units.
It's sitting on 39C all day but one of the fans (I think) emits a high pitched squeal every now and then, and it's only been running a few days.

I wish I could get CGMiner to work right on my setup. Every time I try it I lose 300-400 gh compared to BFGMiner.

i just realised, i wasn't clear on the error codes, it was from cgminer, not bfgminer..

none the less, i did the instructions from the top, and it worked, no idea what i did, but, it works

Looking forward to your next Comprehensive guide Wink

Well, i have one of these "New R-box" all im getting is 80-90GH/s off BFGMiner with a 45-50% error rate, that's expected since the software is not up to standards with the hardware, but following the configuration :

Download the latest version of Custom Rockminer CGMiner.
   Extract, and run the zadig application.
   "Select CP21202 USB to UART Bridge Controller" and then click "Replace Driver". You only have to do this once per computer.
   Right click the file "start.bat" and click "Edit". Enter your pool information as below
   Run the bat file to start mining.

Ran Zadig as admin, successfully added the new drivers, (thanks to once owning 10 USB Block Eruptors, the drivers were already there).

But it fails:

[2014-10-27 17:43:18] Icarus detect (6:2) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

should I just wait a few weeks for BFGminer to work out the bugs? or is there something Im missing?

none the less, Dogie, Great look at the miner, and all the others too (I Had to look though them all, its the eye candy)

You know what? i attempted to do the one thing that everyone says is what makes people insane: attempt to do the exact same thing, for a different result.. its working flawlessly now on CGminer 4.7.0 getting ~107GH/s

You did one thing different, cgminer. People seem to have a better experience on it for BE200 based devices.

So it is HW%=HW/(A*diff + HW)?
Doesn't cgminer already do the A*diff multipilcation?

Yes-ish
No

Accepted is diff * accepted shares in cgminer, it is not absolute shares accepted, though that's a rather old cgminer in use there, and a fork, so who knows.

Not in this version / fork otherwise my perfectly good unit would have a 10% HW rate. Dividing by my difficulty (64) gives a much more reasonable value of 0.14%

I'm now using CGWatcher and it really looks like I get about 20% HW rate.....

If CGWatcher is assuming that its diff * accepted and its not, then you'll get the fake high HW rate.

Unfortunately I think this time you're wrong. This pic is the first accepted share after I did a statistics-reset

I'm not shure if I'm right here but I got my box today and I have 33% HW errors.
Is my device defective?

Accepted is difficulty XX in that view (in your case difficulty 64), so your hardware error rate is 0.47%.

Thanks for your answer.

That screen shot appears to have only run less than 1 hour. These new R-Box need about full 2 hrs. for the stats to stabilize. I also see people are using the 270mhz freq. but Rockxie has already stated in the official thread that the default should be 320Mhz freq. to achieve expected hashrate.
