Topic: Need help with Technobit Hex16A2 (Read 1202 times)

hi fairly new at this can you help have a hex16C Avalon2 asic miner 24ghs
     Im using windows 8 the device shows up in Zadig as hex16c-avalon 2 asic and installs driver ok , cant get it to mine blink lights or do anything fan runs ok and usb makes noise when plugged in /out, tried cgminer 4.3.4. 4.3.3. 3.12.3 and many others and hex miner no joy.
    Can you tell me which miner to use with it on windows 8 and example bat.file etc , do have a little knowledge using gpu's on cg miner ok and bitmain sticks and bxm sticks ok on several versions no probs just cant make this show up as a device in any miners

 stuck for days please anyone!!!!!

   

i just stumbled over something:

my miner appears as a "HEXa" in cgminer. as far as i kno it should appear as a HEXc. Is it possible that this is my Problem? How can i get cgminer to accept the device as a "HEXc"?

EDIT:

IT WORKS!

Sometimes its those little things.

IF you encounter the same problem:

start cgminer with

"./cgminer --set_default_to_c"

that did the trick for me

I read that thread, along some others. and as i said, i ised the Technobit patches with cgminer (different versions, thats what i tried to show with "listing" in the starting post)

i tried different versions, howtos etc, none of them worked. as i said: IF i can make cgminer see the device, it doesnt mine

anything here helps???

also found this:

" if you have a linux host it will be best to just compile cgminer with the latest patch from Technobit"

shit...
I miss that debian 7 part...
sorry.
blind fuck!

don't know much about linux except wep cracking with backtrack :-)

I don't think you need any special options there...

thanks for the answer. i already did the first one, same result. the HEXMiner is Windows only, if neccessary, i will convert my mining laptop into a windows machine. this is a step i would like to take when everything else failed though

the device gets recognized under several linux cgminer versions, but it just doesn't mine. is there maybe some special option i have to use?

install patch and use cgminer from here

Good morning fellow miners,

i just received my Technobit miner yesterday, and i am struggling to get it to work.
my mining computer is an old laptop, stripped of everything unneccessary and with debian 7
the device in question is a Technobit HEX16A2. if cgminer recognizes it, it shows up as:
Manufacturer: 'TECHNOBIT HEX ASIC Miner.'
Product: 'HEX16C-Avalon2 ASIC Miner'
1 known USB device

after trying out different cgminer versions (including the technobit patches) i got different results:

Also ich hab jetzt folgende Versionen ausprobiert (jeweils mit den laut Technobit dazu passenden patches) und verschiedene Effekte dabei gehabt.

cgminer 3.6.1 - device shows up as "HEXa", no hashing though - it will stay at 0.000 / 0.000h/s
cgminer 3.8.1 - Patch didnt work, patch process terminated with an error
cgminer 3.8.3 - device shows up as "HEXa", no hashing though - it will stay at 0.000 / 0.000h/s
cgminer 3.8.4 - device shows up as "HEXa", no hashing though - it will stay at 0.000 / 0.000h/s
cgminer 3.8.5- device shows up as "HEXa", no hashing though - it will stay at 0.000 / 0.000h/s
cgminer 3.11.0 - patch worked, drivers were included - device doesn't show up (also not showing up under "./cgminer -n")

I am pretty desperate right now.

any advice? It doesn't have to be cgminer, i take every working linux mining client. as long as.. well.. as long as it works..

EDIT: this is how cgminer looks:
