FWIW, my pool isnt reporting what I would think the speed of two of these devices should be. Two of them have been hashing for close to 30 minutes and my pool is reporting 225-250khs.
Any ideas? I wouldnt have to open a CPUminer instance for EACH miner would I? I might try that.

Anyone know for sure how to make CPUminer see more than one of these things? I think I have it figured out as the LED's on the two that I have connected right now are flashing along with the prompts on the screen.
In my batch file I did this.
"minerd --freq=600 --gc3355=COM3:4 --url=xxxxxxx --userpass=xxxxxx:xxxxxx"
Like I said, they both seem to be mining as they are both warming up but I'm not 100% sure as theres no way to really tell on screen whats going on.

I'm also curious about whether you accept credit cards with batch 2/3. I just placed an order for 2 via credit card, and if you deliver I will buy some more from you 
Incidentally, my plan is to run these off a standard ATX PSU, and in LTC-only mode. If I don't get power cords, I'll just buy a bunch of these: https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&pa=2096771&productId=2096771

I'm pretty sure the power connectors I bought are 2.1mm inside diameter. They fit and I didnt have to force them on so I think 2.5 will be too big.
Thats a good idea though. At 7 watts each any std ATX power supply should be able to handle a bunch of these things....
OK, looking at these then:

I would think that those would work.

Hi Zoomhash,
I'm interested in buying singles - approx 3, shipped to Ireland. I'd also like to get my hands on a wiibox controller if possible. Additionally, same question as above - are you doing credit card for next batch?
I had PMd you but I think you might have missed it in the flood

I'd still like to know how we know if these things are running in dual or single mode. By simply not giving it a BTC mining address does that put it in single mode?
Anyone know?
Anyone know?
I think I have a way to put it in Single mode. I have a image of the SD card for the controller to make it LTC only. Give me a few hours to upload it.
.OK, thanks.

OK, my miners showed up. No power pigtails though. 
Didnt realize that they were optional. Oh well... so much for getting up and running tonight. 
I see a trip to Fry's in my near future.

Sorry for not having the power adapters. They were seized from Customs. We should be getting more in stock.
You will need a power adapter that can supply at least 7amps for dual mode or else the machine will crap out
.Please check out these examples

12v 7a 5.5mm-2.5mm
Thanks!
And as for support, I am in the same boat as everyone and have to figure this out myself.
I dont plan on mining in dual mode so that wont be an issue (I'm trying to reduce my power footprint after all
)I bought a bunch of 5.5mm-2.1mm power connectors and they fit perfectly. I'm going to wire them up to PCIe or 4 pin molex extension cables so I don't have to mutilate a power supply and its harnesses.
I think that this thread is going to be of great use in the future.
Oh, the miner is crapped out again.
Its got to be the PC. February 24, 2014, 10:36:10 PM
Are you sure they're 2.5mm and not 2.1mm? I've seen varying reports...

How do we know if these things are running in single or dual mode BTW? The 36Watt +12VDC power supply I have powering this one miner is getting pretty warm. The miner itself is cold to the touch but I'm a bit concerned about the crappy power supply.
And... The miner crapped out after about 20 minutes of hashing. Had to stop and restart CPU miner. Might be the PC though, it gave me trouble with BFG miner and bitcoining....

Heading to Fry's tonight, I'll let ya know what I find.
FWIW, I planned on making my own 6 pin PCIe to barrel connector power cables for these miners. I know that fry's will carry the male power connectors and the PCIe extension cables so it should be pretty easy.
Oh, the fan on these things.... WAY too fast/loud. That thing only needs to spin at about 10% to keep the device cool. No need for finger chopping off speeds!

Was planning on heading up there tonight myself!
Anyway, I found a power supply and with the help of Jude Austin's post I managed to get it working. I did have some issues though.
#1. The device installed to COM21. CPUMiner didnt like it there so I had to move it to COM1 in the device manager.
#2. I have to run minerd as administrator (not sure if this is a given or not).
Now that I have one up and running how do I include the others? I created a batch file for the one miner and within that batch file it points to COM1. Do I just repeat that argument over and over for all of my miners?
For instance:
"minerd --freq=600 --gc3355=COM1 --gc3355=COM2 --gc3355=COM3 --url=xxxxxxx --userpass=xxxxxx:xxxxxx" and so on?
Last thing, is there a way to see how fast this thing is mining other than waiting for the stats to catch up on my pools website?
Jude Austin, thanks for the help.
Zoomhash, thanks for getting the miners out so quickly. I ordered mid Saturday and they showed up in Dallas today!

These do 12 Volts correct?
They can mine any scrypt? Doge/Lite/etc?

Purchased one on Friday.
Got it today!
Happily mining away!
Thanks ZoomHash!

How are you mining with it? Did you get the controller or is it working inside of Windows via cgminer or something?
I installed this driver: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7L0F0oittD_VDhMWUlVT3lFNkk/edit?usp=sharing
And I ran this software: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7L0F0oittD_UlhKekxUOU92eVk/edit?usp=sharing
With this command: minerd --freq=600 --gc3355=COM11 --url=xxxxxxx --userpass=xxxxxx:xxxxxx (check for right COM Port)
And it is happily mining away.
I am currently compiling cgminer for Windows for it, having an issue with it recognizing Scrypt tho, driving me nuts.
I compile it with --scrypt-enabled and --enable-icarus with the modified icarus-driver.c from GridSeed but when I try to run it with the --scrypt argument it tells me there is no --scrypt command. I am using cgminer-3.1.1 source.
Very nice, thanks! I'll try that when they arrive.
