I think I have a new problem...very shortly after I started mining, the fan on the gridseed turned off, and the light now only blinks (steadily) green, with no more red lights blinking. Also, cpuminer hasn't shown me that a single share has been accepted yet. Is something wrong with my gridseed??

Sounds like you lost the 12V power. Try resetting your power supply and try again. Maybe a fuse blew?
Anyway, the lights keep blinking because they are 5V powered via USB.
It will show accepting work to be done but won't do any because there's no 12V to power the chips so they can hash.

Hmmmm....well I bought a 12v 1a power cord on Amazon since someone told that if I was only going to be scrypt mining, I could get the cheaper, 1a power supply. Do you think this could be it? I tried unplugging everything, waiting a couple minutes, then plugging it back on, but still no 12v. Is there another way to reset power supply? Or force 12v?

I'd bet 5 btc your power supply is too small. Go get one with higher amperage and try again.

Fml. The one I got is 2.1mm....but all the 5a ones I see on Amazon are 2.5mm, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/12-Volt-Power-Supply-Standard/dp/B009ZZV6TA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396741285&sr=8-3&keywords=12v+5+amp+power+supply

Should be ok?

Both fit....I have used both.

You guys should really try the new LightningAsic V3c miner software if you haven't already, it's designed to do one thing and one thing only, to get the most out of your Gridseed miners. If you don't have a Tp-link 703N, they are really cheap to get on eBay @ ~$20. Definitely worth the investment.

Just got my miner today....trying to get it to run with cpuminer. I first used Zadig to install the WinUSB driver, then edited the .bat to this:

minerdOC.exe --freq=850 --gc3355=\\.\COM17 --url=stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337 --userpass=NewbieMiner.ASIC:derpy

but when I run it, I see this:

"Open \\.\COM17 failed, GetLastError:2"

...and then it does nothing but tell me when Stratum detected a new block.

What do I need to do to get this running? Sorry, I'm a complete noob and new to this :/

use this...
minerdOC.exe --freq=850 --gc3355=COM17 --url=stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337 --userpass=NewbieMiner.ASIC:derpy

get rid of Zadig drivers.... Install STMicroelectronics Virtual Comm Port driver...
http://www.xpdrivers.com/usb/stmicroelectronics/_3_2602.cfm
After installing the new USB comm port driver, plug in your miner to the USB port, let it load, go to device manager, comm & lpt , note the comm port number and add it to the command line above.
Close device manager, open command window to the location of your cpuminer program, copy and paste the above command line in to there and hit Enter,,, your miner should load up and start hashing away...
Good luck!

hmmmm...maybe that's the problem: I can't find the "Ports: comm & lpt" section in device manager. Closest thing is probably Universal Serial Bus controllers....which is where the driver was labeled when I used Zadig to install the winusb driver. Where can I find the Com #? (the '17' that was in my connection settings was defaulted that way...). Thanks again for all the help!

As stated already, get rid of, uninstall Zadig drivers. Install STM drivers...after that, plug in your miner, let it be recognized and loaded and you'll see it's driver where I said it will be.
Good luck!

lol my bad....I didn't realize I needed to unplug and then re-plug in the miner before it would be recognized by the driver tool. Thanks very much for your help!

LightningAsic V3 Firmware vs BFGminer + Rpi
V3c firmware just released is now available for download, and it works with standard Tp-link 703N controller.

I think you have to use the proper branch with:

Code:

sudo git clone -b feature/gridseed-support git://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer

You're probably right, sorry about the misleading instructions, my last bfgminer build was a while ago and it took a few attempts to get it right.

i'm looking for a way to compile this on windows...

Does this not work for you?

http://cryptomining-blog.com/1883-download-the-latest-bfgminer-3-99-0-for-windows-with-gridseed-asic-support/

no i keep getting this http://i.imgur.com/oFCWhfQ.png

do you want to upload yours? Is it working?

I don't use anything Gridseed-related on Windows atm, sorry. I would suggest that you get rid of the OCL devices in your bfgminer, these might be interfering. Use something like this in your config file (substitute the appropriate COM port numbers):

Code:


...

"scan" : [
	"gridseed:\\\\.\\COM5",
	"gridseed:\\\\.\\COM7",
	"gridseed:\\\\.\\COM8",
	"gridseed:\\\\.\\COM9",
	"gridseed:\\\\.\\COM10",
	"gridseed:\\\\.\\COM12"
],
"device" : [
	"0",
	"1",
	"2",
	"3",
	"4",
	"5"
],
"set-device" : [
	"gridseed:clock=850"
],

...

If this doesn't help you can perhaps test with one Gridseed and see if it still crashes.

can someone put my in the right direction to compile this please
https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer/tree/feature/gridseed-support-new

I'm assuming you're using Linux (I have no idea how to compile this under Windows nor should you attempt that - there are binaries available).

1) Install prerequisites:

libudev-dev build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev yasm libncurses5-dev git autoconf automake

E.g. on ubuntu and its clones you would run:

apt-get install libudev-dev build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev yasm libncurses5-dev git autoconf automake

2) run this in your home folder:

git clone https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

This is just to get you on track, if you have any problems please report back and I'll try to help.

I think you have to use the proper branch with:

Code:

sudo git clone -b feature/gridseed-support git://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer

Here is what I used on Ubuntu:

Code:

cd~
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libevent-dev
sudo git clone -b feature/gridseed-support-new git://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
sudo ./autogen.sh    # only needed if building from git repo
sudo CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" ./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
sudo make

sudo ./bfgminer --scrypt -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 -o stratum+tcp://xpool.net:8820 -u WhkG5CHetw5Mcp7VXhNsueSS3Jay43pxCZ -p x

There is a LOT of development going on with this version but I went back to cgminer until they get further along.

Mob, look for the windows binaries from the developer (nwoolls) in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.3080
