Everything has been going great. Clocked the units to 900 and now my pool is showing a lot different speed than cgminer.
Pool is only showing 5.2 MH/s. I guess just put them back to 850?

Has anyone encountered a solid red LED on the Gridseed device? Stays on for a minute, then off a minute, then on a minute. The green LED flashes the whole time. I was hashing for a week, and there haven't been any changes in power supply or USB.

I determined that 10 miners increased the a/c power draw of my usb hub by 5 watts. So, each USB port should be able to provide .5 watts per usb port, or 1 amp for 10 miners.

Thanks, workshop35. I don't have an autogen.sh file to change permissions on, though.
Just skip autogen if you don't have it
Thanks, miaviator. Was able to configure and make it just fine.

Hoping someone can help with a power question.
I have 2 miners that I have been fooling with for the last week. Both are hooked up to individual power adapters that I ordered from Ebay.
40 more miners are on the way and my plan is to purchase cables from Cablez and cases from Spotswood which should give me a clean setup. Until those items are available I am left with the barrel connectors that come with the kit. (from Zoomhash btw) I have a few 750w modular power supplies here and if I understand previous posts one should power all 40 in Scrypt only mode. I can't seem to find a picture of the barrel connectors and I am not sure the best way to get everything hooked up and running in the mean time. I have some Pcie 6 pin to molex adapters here and thought that might be the way to go.
A picture of what someone else has done would be a huge help.
Thanks

I think cgminer has a display error with the HW. Seems to me that on my 2 seed setup only 1 card gets HW even though they are on the same speeds and power supply. I can't think of another reason. Cgminer might be displaying pool disconnects as HW because I am on a multicoin pool. I remember that on my GPU rigs it would sometimes mix the temps up.

I had to start over from scracth after a week of successful hashing, and I ran into a problem I don't remember encountering.
When I get to miaviator's instruction to run the command ./autogen.sh in the cgminer directory, I get this error:
As I said, I don't remember encountering that before. I'm a Mac guy installing Linux (Ubuntu 13.0.4) in Parallels, so speak slowly.
When I get to miaviator's instruction to run the command ./autogen.sh in the cgminer directory, I get this error:
Code:
bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory

"chmod +x autogen.sh" should fix it I think

if i connect 10 gridseeds to a usb hub will it show up on cgminer as 10 individual miners? and does anyone think in the future they will hit 500 khs without the lightning asic controller firmware? as in just the cgminer run on windows?

I got two of these coming to test out, if they work out I will be buying many more.
Anyway, can someone please confirm for me that these plugs will work? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103614
It says they are 2.1mm inside and 5.5mm outside, and from what I read that should be the correct "snug" fitting measurements?
I plan to take an old 12V 5A DC brick I found and covert it to have two plugs for my initial testing.
I will look into more cost effective options when I order more Gridseeds, but I just want to have the right parts on hand for when my units arrive.

Yes, that should do it. I'm using both 2.5 and 2.1. 2.1 fits a bit more snugly, which is a good thing IMO.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.
I agree, I think snug fitting is better long term both for electrical and physical reasons.
Follow-up question, if I plan to mine scrypt only, my 12V/5A power supply should be able to comfortably power up to 5 of these if I understand correctly? Basically from what I read, it seems each will pull around 0.5A and using a margin of 1A each allows a generous overhead.
I will probably look into the modifying a old computer PSU once I scale up, but for now I just want to be sure I am clear on the specifics.
Yep, sounds like you're in the ballpark.
Good luck with it and remember, do this at your own risk.

That would be awesome!
Does that run on a raspbian too?
Does that run on a raspbian too?
It should run on all Linux flavour, but needs testers on different distros to iron the bugs out, emerge (Gentoo) and apt (debian, ubuntu) based distros should be working, RPM based is not tested, and if there are enough interest, I can do OSX/Windows(cygwin/mingw) part with help from people with those OS.
The coinst installer itself is just a simple bash script making use of ncurses/kde/gtk, so you can verified the code and it will run on anything which has bash v4 (no support for other version and opther shells).

Has anyone been able to get the cgminer 3.7.2 (for gridseed) to work in linux instead of windows like what is shown here? http://cryptomining-blog.com/1262-download-cgminer-3-7-2-for-windows-scrypt-mining-on-gridseed-5-chip-gc3355-asics/
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yes, it appears to be working great. See my screenshot a few posts up.
If there are some interest, I can add the forked cgminer to coinst (https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=15312.msg121778#msg121778).
