I need some help, I am going to smash this %$*(% wiibox controller I cannot get the damn thing to work. I can log into the page for it but it tells me No BTC equipment! and NO LTC equipment.

I have 5v power to the mini usb on it i have a powered hub connected to the large usb on it and I have a network cable connected to the back of my router on it. I have no idea why it has two network ports. and i do not know what the little button is for.
I and open a web page and see the crappy chinese webpage for the device and enter settings but it says No BTC equipment! and NO LTC equipment under each item. I have had the miner running scrypt fine directly under windows but I would like to take advantage of its dual mining abilities. This stupid piece of crap controller is starting to frustrate the shit out of me. Also what is the little jumper on it for.

Screenshot the page and the wiibox please.

Can someone post links to some AC adapters from Amazon (USA) that would work for these? I don't want to play with wires Cheesy

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Are these good to go? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TUMDWG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1YTQ37YMBKHMD

Anyone?

Nice Find BTW

Anyone?

For powering a single unit in Dual mode, or up to 6 units in Scrypt only it should do just fine.

Anger is a gift.

Just from looking at the specs it should be ok for scrypt only. I doubt that it would power them in dual mode. I am by no means an expert. I will be hacking wires together this afternoon to get my 20 going.

Thank you! That works perfect!

Can i see somewhere, besides my pool, if the two units are hashing? With screen -ls i get that there are no screens active

I'm trying to install everything onto my raspberry pi. But when when i come to the part "Build cpu miner from github" i get error's you can see below. When i try the command "make" after this it will not work. Someone any idea what i can do now ?

Hey Copyfile, I wrote this on the main thread but follow below and it will work

To install cpuminer:

Terminal root:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake
git clone https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner
cd /home/pi/usb-miner/software/cpuminer
sh ./autogen.sh
sh ./configure
make && make install

[wait till done installing, then plug in you usb miners]
dmesg
[find and copy down the names of your USB miners, they should look like (ttyUSB0) and so on.
sudo nano /home/pi/usb-miner/software/cpuminer
[this is a text editor]
minerd --freq=850 -G /dev/ttyUSB[Number for usb device] --url= [poolurl:port] --userpass=[user].[worker]:[password]
[CTRL+X]
[Y]
[name the file [whatevername.sh]

Now run the file that you just saved.

sh ./[name of file .sh]

For each miner you have to open a new instance of CPUminer because you cannot combine them unfortunately

you need to install the c compiler. Specifically you need the equivalent to build-essential for your platform. A bunch of people used the commands in the linux section to get Pi's working so try this:

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake screen

ok so i have everything powered up the Wiicontroller has a green led on it and the miner has a green flashing led on it
I have one more noob question: How do i find the ip address of my wiicontroller box
I used wiibox.net got the ip but when i type it in it the browser just keeps trying to access it but nothing is coming up

Most routers have a DHCP lease table. The MAC address on the unit is printed on the bottom.

Quote from: SummersideGuy on March 04, 2014, 06:44:10 PM

ok everything is working but the its all in chinese, cant make sense of most of that ip page

I want a screenshot of this

Quote from: SummersideGuy on March 04, 2014, 06:51:37 PM

Is it possible to plug 1 miner directly into the WIIBox controller or do I need a powered hub???

You need a powered hub to give enough power to the gridseed board (I'm only 99% sure of this) Someone should try it.

Quote from: SummersideGuy on March 04, 2014, 06:51:37 PM

Also note i was successful thanks to help in this thread using a ide molex to power(5v) the controller and a miner(12v)

I definitely want a picture of these so I can add it to the wiring diagrams I posted above!

I posted some pics and a link to a video of my miner hashing, here is the forum page:

How many would be possible in scrypt mode per PCIe? Think I saw cablez saying he could wire 15 to 1 PCIe cable. So 10 on 1 in scrypt mode should work? Don't want to try my new toys tomorrow.

3 per PCIe, and of course it also depends on your PSU wattage.

* You can now lease out gridseed's on LeaseRig.net: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-leaserignet-renthire-quark-hashing-power-414009

This is for windows and linux users.

Follow the proxy setup guide

I included a warning in bold: This Device WILL FLUXUATE WILDLY in hashrate. It will average ABOVE the 250Kh/s you pay for!!!

For Dual mode you can safely run 3 miners per PCI-E
For Scrypt mode you can run at least 10 per PCI-E 1-5 per molex.
You could run 10 on molex but I wouldn't take it that high as you could then load 1 PSU lead to 400Watts and burn down the building.

The issue is that if you load 10-20 on a 6 wire PCI-E you would be fine to run in scrypt mode. But if the btc cores activated for testing or failure or zuess then you risk starting a fire and a loud pop. I'm using 3 and 4 per pci-e lead.

Selling some molex to TPLink cables if you guys are interested

Lol. I'm selling three gridseeds with 90 days hosting: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/three-units-open-mining-now-unicornhasher-90-days-at-300khs-device-hosting-471764

What is the sefest maximum OC to push this board to when just mining Scrypt? I have the miner hooked directly to my win64 pc since I can not get my hands on a powered usb hub at 10PM at night and just mining scrypt i have it at 850, is it safe to push it much higher??
Also on the gridseed WIIboard there is a micro usb and full size usb, maybe i had them setup wrong, I had the power going to the micro usb and the miner hooked to the full size usb. is this correct?

Haven't seen a limit yet.

You can OC them to 1200 in windows with this: http://cryptomining-blog.com/1228-download-cpuminer-oc-edition-for-gridseed-5-chip-gc3355-asics/

850 is the highest I've seen a performance increase from anyone. Looks like 900+ will just cause HW errors and extra power draw.

It looks quite normal. The long wait between shares is due to Clevermining et.al. only accepting rather high difficulty shares (512). In my experience I get about 35-40 accepted shares per hour per device running at 800MHz

Agreed looks normal -- pretty much the same as on my RasPi.

As for the time it takes to submit shares, yes, these miners work better on lower difficulty coins/pools...

I just installed my first gridseed miner to raspberry pi. I looks like it's working, only there i around 1 minute time between the "yay's". Is there something i do wrong? Or is this normal? The stats of my pool are not visible yet so i can't check there yet!
