Minepeon works great as soon as you replace the cgminer with the one provided by Andareed

Anyone who has a Rapsberry Pi should try this:
https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.msg138204#msg138204
Works perfectly for me.
Actually even if you don't have a Raspberry, just buy one. No messing around with junk controllers, no Windows USB drivers. Plug and play.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Raspberry Pi.
Where can I buy one?
Got a link?
Thanks

I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Basic-Clear-Supply/dp/B00DG9D6IK
Includes power supply and case. If you don't need a case and have a spare micro-USB power supply, you can get a bare board for ~$40
Thanks. mate! Cheers!

So I did more experimenting and if i run 2 Instances of modified Cgminer I can get more working so I think this might be able to be fixed with a patch to cgminer so far i got 4 up and running so were gettign closer 
I have succeeded in getting 6 running under 1 instance Tomorrow ill bring my other 4 home from the office and see if i can get all 10 up on 1 rig:)
Here are some pictures as proof:

some of our usr use scrypt version, seems its working good. wonder if u can overclock it.

the only good thing i can say is I had 5 pc's running 8 gpu's doing ltc. Sooo even if I can't get past 2 gridseeds a pc I can run 10 of them and run 5 gpu's. each pc will run 2 gridseeds and 1 r9 290.
I will sell off the other 3 r9 290's . or maybe I will spring for a controller.
right now 2 are in house running around 365 each.
I have 4 more on order.
my total for kh is about 6000 between the gpus and the 2 grids.

Cool. How much power is your multi-rig using?

I have been able to get 2 Of the Gridseeds to Hash in LTC only mode using the modified cgminer 3.7.2 But Some how I cant get any more to detect. When I pug another one in it knocks out the first unit. I suspect its some sort of internal conflict 1 device conflicts with the other and boots it off. has anyone been able to get multiple units say 5 or 10 all hashing at once with the modified CG miner?
I have tried removing the driver and reloading them but i keep having the same problem

God I'm glad I didn't accept the Cryptomining Blog's moderator's suggestion to 'upgrade-ahhhcaughcaughgagughhhh' to cgwiner 3.7.2. Good call!
Try to debug stuff decently enough so at least the basics work stably before you unleash it on the public, eh?

Have you tried lowering the frequency? 800 might be too much for dual mining. Also, make sure your power supply is supplying enough power. Back before cpuminer could disable the BTC cores my power supply was not powerful enough and the same thing happened, no found shares.
I played with frequency all the way down to 600, still the same results sha256 mines fine all the way up to 900, scrypt no shares being made, psu wise it is hooked up to a 850 thermaltake PC PSU, lots of juice there
What happens if you launch cpuminer only? I was getting those same results... when I get home I will see if I can recreate it.
Figured out why it is working for me. I have the STM32 Virtual COM Port driver installed, not the WinUSB. So that took care of the scrypt side. To get sha256 to work, I have to be running Slush's mining proxy. I also have some cubes running of the same W7 machine. If I don't fire up the cubes first, cgminer states "No devices detected! Waiting for USB hotplug......" However, i read in a different thread today that in the cgminer batch file to change the switch hotplug=0 to hotplug=5. Just tried it and that makes it hash without needing slush's proxy running. Note that when I changed the hotplug switch my batch file for my cubes failed and I could only mine with the Gridseed, so I changed hotplug back to 0 and just run my cubes first.
That is kind of a jumbled post, I am a noob so take it as it is :p
Hope that helps.
EDIT: (Taken from github) --hotplug

If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355.
I have a single GridSeed on the way and I want to run it on my 5 GPU Debian system. It's currently running sgminer for the GPU's and I'd like to keep that way. What is the process I'd use to get your modified cgminer working with the GridSeed?
Would this theoretically work?
Plug in GridSeed into power and USB
git clone https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355
cd cgminer-gc3355
./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
make
./cgminer -o: (url) -u (user) -p (password) --griseed-options=freq=850
Would it try to use my GPU's? How would I tell it to use the GridSeed only?

I got it to dual mine last night, I was stuck in the back and forth of sha256 / scrypt as well. Before using zadig to overwrite the driver my com port was 4 then it disappears as stated above. I changed the com port to 1 it the batch file for cpuminer and it fired up, very slowly mind you. Once it started hashing scrypt I launched cgminer and it went to work also. I did drop the clock speed for both. I am only using one miner mind you. Currently I am only getting 250 KH/s and 8.77 GH/s
I am sure this is of no/little help but that is what I did messing around and it worked.
I will give this a try also see what happensI am sure this is of no/little help but that is what I did messing around and it worked.
Update: Both are detected using com1 for cpuminer, however cpuminer is not finding any shares at all
See below:

So still no further ahead for me
