geesh! come on people! These are basic ' how to' questions already answered right on this very thread!

My response to your questions for help is, "see page 1"

the polarity of the socket isn't stated here, just color codes. If you don't have color coded wires (and don't just check it with a meter like I should have to begin with) then it's a legitimate question...there are reverse polarity plugs out there.

It's there now.

heh, ofcourse, someone just had to be 'right about it'.. Shocked

... as if...

I am right

Just trying to make sure I don't fry a $250 piece of electronics the first night I get it.

what's the polarity of the barrel socket on the gridseed? center positive?

Center/Red Wire Positive. 2.1mm ID 5.5mm OD

Yeah stupid me posted before breaking out the meter and seeing that the OD on the unit socket is case grounded...thanks. My plugs dont have color coded wires.

Anyone else try the already compiled version of cgminer for windows that can connect to the gridseeds? I was able to get it to connect and mine with one at a time but never anymore than that.

Had 3 plugged in directly to the computer (no hub) but I could not get more than 2 working so switching to Linux...
From the cgminer FAQ:

Quote

When you first switch a device over to WinUSB with zadig and it shows that
correctly on the left of the zadig window, but it still gives permission
errors, you may need to unplug the USB miner and then plug it back in. Some
users may need to reboot at this point.

I am still waiting for a powered USB hub so that may have something to do with it.

I've got 12 hashing now on 900 frequency on my Raspberry Pi. Looking good, though some hardware errors. I'll probably switch back to 850 before going to sleep tonight. So far looking very fancy, hoping that my second batch clears soon enough (how about monday? Wink

) from customs so I can set up another 20 Roll Eyes

I get an occasional hardware error too, 6 errors among 20 miners in the last 24 hours. It seems random (i.e. it's not one faulty miner that always gets the error, it's 6 different miners one error each), and they keep happily hashing afterwards, so I'm not sure if it's something to worry about. I'm at 850 MHz, but I got at least one error at 750 MHz too. Maybe it's the USB hub or power supply or something. I got a couple of errors in Windows too, so it's not an issue with Pi.

Thank you BotwinBG and miaviator!

I was missing libncurses5-dev shown as optional but is required for the text user interface.

Using this now to build deps:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev

Have a few basic Linux questions but perhaps I'll spare this thread with them and try searching.

If anyone knows though:
1. how do you go in and out of the cgminer text interface keeping it running in the background?
2. will logging out of the SSH connection shut down cgminer? If so how do you keep it running?
3. how to get back into the cgminer text interface after a new SSH connection?
4. any other tips for a lowly Linux newb?

Use screen:

Code:

screen -S miner

"miner" can be anything, it's just a name that you can use later to get back to it. This will give you a new shell. Start cgminer there.

Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-D will exit the new shell and will keep cgminer running.

To verify that it's indeed running in the background use this:

Code:

ps auxwww | grep cgminer

You can now disconnect SSH etc. To get back to your cgminer:

Code:

screen -D -r miner

I've started from 20 minutes

cgminer average is 4.2 mega/hash ... I have to wait ?

Check "A:" (accepted), "R:" (rejected, should be a small percentage of A) and "HW:" (hardware errors, should be zero) in cgminer, and if it looks good then wait for the pool stats to rise. Which pool are you using?

https://coinhuntr.com is the pool... is good ?

cgminer shows HW = 0 and A are a lot ! Wait and see

Thanks

I used coinhunter it takes time for coin to show up but you will see it. The rounds are long 4hr estimate I think

my cgminer shows 4.2 mega/hash with 1000 freq setting (10 gridseed miners)

why my pool shows only 0.3 mega/hash ?

What does cgminer show for rejects and hardware errors? Is the pool number perhaps an average over a time period and needs to catch up?
