Hey guys!
 I'm running 30 on a Pi.
I have 3 sabrent 13 port hubs daisy chained. CG and scripta are only seeing 12 miners.
Thoughts??

Pi can only see 2 levels of USB hubs. A 13-port hub has another hub inside, so that's two levels. It means you can run 26 miners by connecting a 13-port hub to each of the two USB ports on the Pi.

Then you can try connecting another hub to one of the first two hubs and gain five more ports, however you need to make sure that you connect it to the first level on the first hub (trial an error method works, or see below) and you'll only be able to see 6 of the 13 ports. Yeah, it is that confusing. Use "lsusb -t" to see how this all looks like. If you have a Windows PC you can use this: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html to test out how to daisy-chain the hubs and the connect them the same way to the Pi.

At a guess I would say the the pi can not see past the first hub
Have you tried plugging in 1 hub into each port on the pi
Ie 20 gridseeds and see if that works

Also
Try this
When cgminer is running unplug the usb hubs till they are all unplugged then plug them in 1 hub at a time
I'm running 20 gridseeds on a 49 port usb 2 hub with the same image as you

what does lsusb tell you?

And if you are using cgminer try

cgminer -n --usb-list

This will tell you which device numbers are available.

Have a question...would it be possible to inline a small power switch to the black fan wire?

I was thinking of inlining this switch on the black fan wire so that I can turn the fan on/off as needed. 

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9609

Thoughts?

That same mod is on my mind. I think I am going to call Tanner's in Dallas and see what they suggest for a switch. That little wire won't take much tugging even with a nice solder job. Maybe little push button or tiny toggle switch.

After soldering this into the black wire, I was thinking I would use a generous lump of hot-glue from my hot-glue gun to keep it from having exposed leads and to possibly deal with "tugging" you suggested.

yep or something like this mini rocker http://dx.com/p/diy-mini-round-rocker-button-switch-black-red-ac-120v-ac-250v-149020#.Uy3EuNzoch4

I have my box of 10 gridseeds, but I am a week away from getting my controller or power setup. Is there a way I can power a few of these miners with anything I have at home? I have OODLES of computer parts and spare power supplies as well as access to a Radio Shack...anything I can do on the cheap and quick to run a few off these off my laptop?

a pc psu, molex connectors, the male connectors to go into the gridseeds, there are some examples of those a few threads back and of course usb cables to connect them if you have that around you can make them work

Thanks Jamie, I found some of these and I have tons of spare power supplies....would they work?

http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=CoaxCable&product=2741567

And how do I get a power supply to start up on its own with no MB?

get the barrel plugs with wire (pigtails) they are 2.5mm plug... then you put the positive on the hot lead on your molex or pcie cables..   i use all those gpu/fan molex adapters that have been accumulating in my boxes

Is there a wiring diagram on this thread (can't find one). How are people hooking up multiple barrels to a single molex or PCIe cable?

Looks like the best thing for you to do is, WAIT until next week! Cheesy

Very Stupid question. I have just received a red gridseed controller. It has no micro usb and has a 2.5mm power connection.

DOes anyone know what the difference between the red edition and the old green one? Also what voltage is it?

Dude you can get my cables that use 4-pin molex or 6-pin PCIe from your PSU to power 1, 2 or 3 gridseeds.  Discounts available for ordering more than one.

I may in the future, but that doesn't help me this weekend unless you live just down the street?


San Diego?!
