Is anyone having comm port issues with their win7 PCs?
I'm having a problem with virtual porting on my xp machine!
Got 4 of 5 pods mining via USB....not using a controller.....yet!
Anyone having the same issues?
What were your solutions?
Thanks

Hi Wolfy la3m is the kit supplied by lightning asic (its supplled with 10 miners, PSU, controller, leads etc) here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lightningasic-la100m100mhs-scrypt-miner-usd1999-la1ths-usd1750shipped-out-421921
Where did you get yours? what was supplied?
Seems to be running fine just a reboot every 45 mins or so, which is waiting for an update as far as I know......

Hi Wolfy, yea its looking sweeter! I am running the lightning asic controller not direct to a machine. So don't have to deal with the com port problems.
Did you go for the la3m (10 rig with all bits) or something else?

Okay, thanks.
I don't know what an IA3m is.... But I'm just using USB right now.
I might fork up for a controller pretty soon though.
Where did you buy yours?

Not really tuning, just some tidy up!
Shortened some leads and added some stocking type cable tidy!
Looks much better, working on a rack mount right now.

Nice work!
Have you had any issues with comm ports not working as you plug in each miner?
I'm running on an xp machine, finally got my 5 chippers mining..
have 4 of them up. one port gave me trouble but I changed it to comm 2 and it worked right away.
Any port number above 10 and I can't get it to communicate!
I have 5 pods. 4 working. 1 not...not the pod, it's the virtual comm ports causing it..
Have you had any trouble running them in win 7 or 8?
I have a win 7 machine I am considering porting to instead...I've heard they don't have any comm port problems like xp does..
Do you concur?
Thanks

What is the format for entering multiple miners in the .bat file? Can't figure that part out...got 1 running...
check out this image:
Can you provide an explanation of what's in that .bat file?
February 27, 2014, 02:36:56 PM
is there a way to run them on linux? the chinese wiibox is headache inducing
February 27, 2014, 02:15:08 PM
Still waiting for mine to arrive and wondering if it is feasible to run them in scrypt only mode with no fan fitted. Anyone tried it?
I have 5 GC3355's....I'm considering doing the same thing. Those fans are noisy and will just suck dust all into the heat sink plates in no time! If course I can add an air filtering system later but if they are only running warm at a few watts each. no fan should be necessary IMO.
I'll post something on this once I FINALLY get them mining! This software issue sucks! I can't believe its kickin my ars!
they get too hot ... and get fried ... rammy2k ... made this experience ... ltc only mode
February 27, 2014, 01:49:16 PM
thats it ,, all 10 units rockin ,, whoooo hooooo
now , can we confirm if the btc side is active or not,
and how do we turn it off
using cpu miner
or direct it to a pool at least.
ps. that tool I posted has a right click function to remove bound hardware to com ports

also I need to flash my la3m units to the new firmware, to boost the speed, I am a little confused on that process at the moment
If we just received a LA3M this week, do we still need to flash them? If so, how do we do this without the white button?

OK Guys, i just ordered a unit and it should be coming next week. (hopefully)
I am actually taking a chance here since my main computer is a iMAC and i can't seems to find any information. The seller claimed that it should work on MAC as well but couldn't provide more information.
Anybody like to chip in? Or i am better off selling it on ebay?

i looked around quite a bit and i haven't heard of any Mac OS support..sorry...for the time being at least.

Hello
When ever i connect one of these devices onto my Ubuntu 13.10 box it shows up at /dev/ttyACM0 - not /dev/ttyUSB0 etc.
Anyone know why ? is this normal?
Also,
Ive tried compiling minerd from https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer - and while mining - it appears to be working, but its not submitting shares - any clues on why this is?
