Please accept my apologies for all of these problems,

But I assure you our engineer will tend to all of these issues today

I have a feeling something got changed when they incorporated Luke-JR's code into CGMINER

(I could be wrong)

but try this:

http://btcwebhost.com/cgminer-2.4.2mmq.rar
(This is Luke-JR's original code and was known to work without issue)

Also if you have the option to use Linux instead of windows you may have better luck with 2.4.3 or Luke-JR's BFG miner.

for any specific technical questions please email to [email protected]

do not worry we will get to the bottom of all of these problems today.

ok, with this version, it is working. After a few mins of it being programmed, I see MMQ at 30C and the program running.

Update: I can see it changing the clock speed, but it is not having any work accepted or rejected?

Ok, judging from my own experience, the red led light goes off once cgminer loads the fpga software on the daughter card. I noticed one of my cards had a red led that wouldn't go off and I thought it was the one that was working and the others not, but it seems the opposite is true. I was having an issue with my cgminer crashing. I thought it was bad software. After some observing things, I noticed the crashing was always after talking about a certain daughter card. I rearranged the daughters, making sure everything was plugged in tightly and sure enough, the errors kept happening but at the new address of the bad daughter card. I'm currently waiting for it to finish loading the software and then I'll know for sure. It takes exactly 5 minutes, 45 seconds to load software onto each daughter card.

Currently It is loading the program, and starts to set the speed and then crashes.

Yep.

k, as long as I'm not the only one getting this.

oh, and make sure you have the cards grouped together, closest to the first slot, evidently it doesn't like having spaces. Found that out the hard way too.

Nope, I was watching it for 10 mins before I had to leave. Will check on in later.

After programming the FPGA, did the red LED on the back of the FPGA card turn off?

What exactly do you mean by it says it's OFF?

k, trying

cgminer -S COM4

and this when eventually starts, not seeing a MMQ device. but did see this on start up

Icarus Detect: Test failed at COM4: get 00000000, should:000187a2
Error reading from BitForce (ZGX)

k, update

went back to

cgminer -S modminer:\\.\COM4

and now see:

MMQ 0: Programming \\.\com4... DO NOT EXIT CGMINER UNTIL COMPLETE

after 10 mins I see

MMQ 0: Done Programming \\.\COM4

MMQ 0.0: Setting clock speed to 210

After all that, it is still saying OFF :-(

Will leave it longer, I have to head out now.

Phil

Nothing after setting the clock speed? No other command line options at all?

use -S modminer:\\.\COMn for cgminer. Of course it can't just be -S COMn like bfl or the like.

If -S COMn works with a BFL, it should work with a ModMiner too. You only need "modminer:" if another FPGA's detection is messing it up or (more likely) slowing down startup; same as "bitforce:". Windows allows "COMn" for 1-9, but requires "\\.\" before any others; blame your OS for stupid stuff like this.

K, I'm having issues with cgminer not seeing the device. The device says it is all installed ok. And under devices can see ModMiner Quad.

The only other instance I've heard of anything like this happening, the user had --temp-cutoff for their GPUs, but didn't update it when they added FPGAs to their setup. If you only have 2 to X temperatures listed, X+1 onward get disabled at 0 C which is almost always immediately. Use "cgminer -d ?" to see what order CGMiner sees your devices in, then set --temp-cutoff based on that.

k, it is now seeing the MMQ 0: in cgminer. But is off? How do I turn it on?

Nope still not working. It is looking for it when I do COM4 but not finding anything.

If you are running windows and Need drivers for the ModMiner Quad you can find them here:

http://btcwebhost.com/~cablepair/Win7_64.zip

Installing the drivers is pretty easy basically just unzip that file somewhere like your desktop and when you plug in the mod miner quad select to browse to the driver location or alternatively go into device manager / right click and click update driver and browse to the location

I'm sure you've had experience with this during development but does the driver for the ModMiner conflict with the driver for a BFL single? In other words, can they both be run on the same system?
