You either do not have the Silicon Labs driver properly installed or the device is not recognized. You should see output regarding /dev/cu.* devices and you should be able to see /dev/cu.* devices with the AntMiner U1 plugged in:

What is the output of:

i installed them, they are visible in system report. mbp 10.9 is the machine I'm using.

It doesn't take any time. Make sure you have the required drivers installed:

thanks fixed the first issue still waiting on ant miners to be recognized. been running for 10 mins

i get the same message when i use, brew install bfgminer --HEAD. is there a way to uninstall and start the process all over?
  Thank you very much. i tried bfgminer -d? -S antminer:all but its not doing much.[2014-01-14 00:31:43] Started bfgminer 3.9.0
is all i get.

There should be instructions after that for how to deal with it. Basically you already have a different (the official) bfgminer formula installed. You can either force link over it or you can uninstall the other bfgminer formula first.

That said, the code is now merged in so you can skip my custom formula and use the official one now with:

thanks that worked Nate, this is the current issue.Warning: bfgminer-amu-HEAD already installed, it's just not linked

Sorry about that. This happens if you had never installed anything from my Homebrew repo before. Try this first:

Your system is ready to brew.  ERROR No available formula for uthash.
Any help guys?

How-to mine with AntMiner U1

How-to mine with NanoFury / Ice Fury

Only issue i have is being unable to run bfgminer correctly on a  pro.

continually get

But there are no other processes using the devices from what i can see, and infact launching  'ZOC' allows the ports to be acquired with out any issues

Only issue I've had is that I cannot run it at the High clock speed. It always trips up my 650W PSU (I have the Blade v2 on it as well). Other than that no real complaints.

Success !!  

New mavericks virtual with just command-line tools install, then home-brew, then your tap, then bfgminer without --HEAD

maybe something is broke in current release ? I don't recall putting on newer release, but head been foggy with holiday's and getting over bronchitis.

went back to other mac, uninstalled bfgminer, ripped out source in cache, reinstalled without --HEAD and now its working.

don't know how I missed goofing it up or not reinstalling without the --HEAD

tomorrow after some shuteye ill fix it on the main mac (where the virtual is running now).

Have you had any problems with your cube?


 

You too 

I have have the same experience. I really had hoped it would all just "solve its self" the next day. I started with USB BE using the bitminter client, added a single blade pointed directly to bitminter. Sold off most BE at the right time that bought more blades. Didn't like the slow hash rates on the blades so got a stratum proxy running thanks to your articles and had it chugging away for about 30 days. even set it up on another computer just in case. Everything was all fine till yesterday 

My first thought was the sites were getting hammered as Doc had predicted that it occurs more often around the holidays.

Ill post back after the virtual is done and tested probably on the morrow

Happy New Year

I know this probably isn't very helpful, but my own experience and 2-cents:

I have a single Blade v2 and a single Cube. I had no problem getting the Cube going through a proxy. The Blade, however, when I received it behaved more or less as you are describing. It would hash directly against a GetWork pool but at low speed. It refused to hash at all through a proxy. I banged my head against every option for a day.

The next morning it all worked fine.
