If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355. I have this running on a Raspberry Pi with 10 devices.

Any chance of a Pi image with compiled binary?

Here's a compiled binary built on raspbian: https://db.tt/UygLkqwd

~~Thanks heaps - is the MHz set as compile time? Anyway to get 850mhz?~~ --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850
~~still no work utility~~ d'oh forgot the --scrypt

Also this seems to work OK for 10 miners but over that kernel panics the Pi.

EDIT: Nope crashes with 10 also, tried with two different sets of 10 miners

~~Also seems that no work is getting submitted and work utility is zero~~

Added a powered hub into the mix, looking much better

Fingers crossed it stays like this

I bought something similar and ended up not being able to use it because there was no insulator around one of of the wires. Basically they had bare copper spiralled about the other wire (which had an insulator). I went with this instead: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=110&cp_id=11009&cs_id=1100903&p_id=6880&seq=1&format=2. I'm running in LTC-only mode, though. The wire gauge is not listed so I don't know what its max current is.

Gotta love monoprice

Hell yeah. 20 USB cables for my miners was $15.20.

Will this work? Or is 64 watts too much for a single cable? If you needed more length you could splice in an existing cable where needed. I just think this would neaten things up exponentially.

I have given up on the little board it freezes up my whole network when i try to access it almost all the time, have no idea why. cannot open any web pages and it just hangs when trying to access. Someone else gave me another option just need a little help there though.
They gave me a link to a version of cgminer that runs these

But i need someone to explain to me how to do the following:
in order for this cgminer to detect your ASIC device you need to install a WinUSB driver over the virtual COM to USB driver

WOO WOO CGMINER!!!

Just in time for my big order. Have 20 running. Gonna have 80 on monday.

Is there a way to use a regular power supply like this one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/400633139181?var=670187426663&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Or must I necessarily mess with the wires?

yep that works

Hi,

I was asked by some if i could upload a flashable controller FW. This is for the "old" TP Links.
Version is RC1, weird, since the final firmware needs a NEW controller!

Hopefully someone could do something to stabilize this firmware!

I bought a LA6M but one of the controllers was DOA. To run 10 of my units, I bought a gridseed controller from zoomhash but it doesn't seem to have any firmware loaded. Is there a guide to setting up a gridseed controller somewhere? Thanks!

Yes https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-gridseed-gc3355-5-chip-setuppowerwindowslinuxrpi-by-unicornhasher-494625.

The OP linked under part 4 of my guide https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-gridseed-5-chip-usb-blade-black-miner-supporttuning-482352 has the firmware zips.

Your guide is for setting up the Lightning ASIC controller only or am i blind?

rouleaux is looking for the Gridseed wiibox controller setup information.

I would like to see a guide for that too as i am thinking about buying some wiibox controllers and having only 5 miners per controller

if controlle has problem, contact with me directly, i will send u new one for free.

cool

so do they have fail over for the 1chip USB ones?

do you have a link?

I don't have a 1-chip miner so I've not been able to test this...Here's the links you've asked for...let me know how it works out for you.

Quote from: worldlybedouin on March 04, 2014, 07:50:14 PM

Later down the line the guys from Scripta are going to include Gridseed 5-chip miner support in their RasPi distro...which means a nice clean WebUI, fail over pools, saving/restoring configurations,... You get the idea.

2 weeks?

Nah, just kidding...They currently have support for Gridseed's 1-chip USB "stick" miners...and are now working on the 5-chip one...so I don't think it will be too far out there.

Chirale and DrFranz have been balancing their real-lives with their crypto-lives so they don't have a firm ETA, but have promised to get it together in the next few weeks.

Until then I'm content to run things off RasPi/Wheezy/minerd.

My guide links to both lightening asic and wiibox controller information. Once I finished the install guide I started compiling links and info so everything could be in the same OP.
