ok, lol ... I got a f... problem ... somehow my controller is getting hijacked ...
... ... I haven't changed anything then upgrading to wiibox 2.0.2 ... that's it ...
user and psw is getting changed to ... a users miner ... called wwee.1, wwee.2 ...

Does anyone know what the Green and Red LED indicator lights - Indicate - on the 5 chip miners?

It seems that bfgminer will soon support the 5 chip gridseed units

So, you can daisy chain your USB hubs if you don't have one of those 20a hubs. This model hub http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HL7Z46K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 only supports 3 miners. I will test some D-link hubs later this week. I did find it strange that I cannot overclock to 900 with the daisy chain setup, only 850. Maybe this illustrates the need for a hub with a crazy amount of amps. Anyone find good deals on high amp hubs?
As a matter of fact, I did.
I purchased a powered 13 port usb hub at Microcenter for $18 bucks last night.
The plug in AC/DC wall wart that came with it can handle .500 Amps. That's half of one amp for you laymen.
I am also taking current measurements of each power input to my 5 pods.
At ldle,
5V USB power = 240 mA average.
So, no worries about overdrawing the hub's stock power pack at this level of operation, unless I find the pods pull more 5V amperage while mining. If so, I'll edit this and post a new report. But, don't forget that your PC's 5V source is also powering them so the wall wart is just a backup for additional current supply if/when needed.
13.8VDC Pod power = 2.083 Amps average. That's 0.4166mA per pod. Just under half an amp.
About 28W for the whole smash, at idle.
I'm testing a 5V / 2Amp switcher on the usb hub, all is running well right now.
Will take more measurements after I get them mining and post the specs, if anyone is interested.
I haven't been able to get my pods mining yet (very sharp learning curve) but I eventually will.
Anyone who is currently successful and setting up and mining these GC3355 USB dual miners, I'd be greatly appreciative of some assistance in getting my gear, mining too!
Install, finds hardware, installs software, presents fields to fill in pertinent data and perameters, click on Go and you're mining! That's just too darn easy, eh?
Happy mining!

What issues are you having? I guess you are not using the controller. What os are you hosting the miners from?
With my units I got them hashing quite easily with the controller, plug and play.
Even when I hosted a set of 10 on my win 7 64 os that wasn't much of a problem running 10 instances of minerd and 1 instance of cgminer
Hello, thanks for your help.
I have the 5 GC3355 5 chip USB miners all running, 12V to all 5 pods, and 5V USB hub all connected and powered up.
Plugged into my Win7 laptop via the USB hub.
All recognized when I loaded the right USB / port drivers.
Installed VCP 1.3.1
Installed GUI miner
I run cgminer and it says "no devices detected"
That's as far as I can get, so far.
Would you like to Skype with me? wolfey2014
Or we can PM each other or discuss here, is just fine too
I haven't heard or seen anywhere that using the controller works best or is plug and play.
Thanks Again!

For the ones who received black wires to connect to the PSU ; the wire with white text on it its the RED.
Right.
the black wire with the bold white stripe or bold white lettering is + Positive....

What is the final consensus on the connector size for individual power supplies? Is it 2.1mm, 2.5mm, or both?
I would say both I got both in hand here ... ordered a lot of 2.1-5.5mm and one 2.5-5.5mm to test and both worked out.

update :
- I am now plugging all units directly into pc via the 10 port usb hub,
- units on com ports 1-9 are connecting and hashing
yay
- unts on com 10-12 give me an error when opening cpuminer "open com10 failed , getlasterror 2"
any suggestions ?
- theory: I plugged each unit into the usb hub one at a time ,waiting for windows to recognize it , it has been suggested that the usb hub is getting overloaded by plugging all unit in at once.
- also to comment on my problems with the controller box,
It has been suggested to me that I need a basic hardware switch , instead of trying to use my fancy router to gain full function of the controller box, I will go get one and try that out.
- to comment on the sdcard theory , windows is now asking me to do a sdcard update hmmm, it didnt before, maybe that is connected to issues
this is so much fun , thanks for any help

The actual size is 2.5mm but it seems that 2.1mm fit also. February 25, 2014, 03:59:12 PM

Good News !!
From the bfgminer thread -
Support for the single-chip thumbs is completed and submitted to Luke as a pull-request for 4.0:

Support for the 5-chip miners is under way as well.

Okay, great. I have all 5 of my GC3355 pods hooked up and ready to go!
Only thing is, I don't know how to get them to mine!
I've gotten as far as installing the USB and pod drivers so my WIn7 Laptop recognizes them but I don't know which mining programs to use or are available.
IS there a win7 version I can use?
I've tried cgminer but it doesn't recognize my hardware.
Can someone who is already mining with the GC3355 Dual Miners help me out?
Thanks

use the linked cpu miner in the open thread for scrypt.
what linked cpu miner in what open thread?
Please be specific! Provide the links to what you're talking about....I'm a newbee...
