I'm plugging into the back of my tower, so directly, should be USB 2.0, it's not blue so pretty sure not 3.0.

Ok, as a last straw you can try going through a USB 2.0 hub anyway and see what happens.  What power supply are you using to power the miner?  Are all the fans spinning up?

I don't have a hub lying around so I'll have to get one and try. My PSU is an ULTRA X4 750W. 12V, 56A, all fans spinning up.
Does it work right in bfl's bfgminer?

dunno, sounds like bad hardware to me.  You may want to contact the Manufacture's support.

Is it supposed to be FTDI manufacturer?

No, its supposed to be WinUSB.  Is CGMiner giving you an error message?  If so why no post the text so we know what it is?


sorry had it as a link earlier in thread.
Try this. I've had similar issues.
In device manager un-install the USB devices, check the box delete the driver software for this device. Un-install all monarchs (if more than one you'll see). Then refresh your device manager and you will see the ftdi drivers come back.
Now install WinUSB with zdiag.
Try that.

Still shows as FTDI manufacturer.

Well, yeah, FTDI is the USB hardware manufacture.  But does Zadig show it using the WinUSB driver as your previous screen shot showed?


Ya, shows as WinUSB in Zadig.

sorry had it as a link earlier in thread.

Are you plugging this directly into your PC's USB port?  If so USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0? Or are you going through a Hub?

It seems like a hardware issue like Kano said.  Especially since it happens immediately.

Oh, as for links I don't click on them.  You can also copy and paste the text too.

Is this what you're asking for?

Code:
C:\cgm491>CGMINER -D -T
 [2015-03-21 17:30:07] Started cgminer 4.9.1
[2015-03-21 17:30:08] USB init - BAS device 5:1 usbver=0200 prod='BitFORCE SHA256 SC' manuf='BUTTERFLY LABS' serial='FTYM9T5M'

Yes that's it.

Try this:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/temp/cgminer.exe

I am having this same problem, I'm new to Monarch mining, had a Jalapeno. Do I have to compile my own cgminer or can I put that file into 4.9.1 folder and run from there?
No, looks like a completely unrelated problem.

Maybe USB cable or USB port or some other USB problem ... presuming you setup zadig properly Smiley

I've tried multiple USB cables, different computers, different ports. When I run zadig, the monarch comes up as Bitforce SHA 256 SC if that matters.

This is the device manager after I run zadig. Is it supposed to be FTDI manufacturer?

If your running M$ Windoze, like me, then just replace the executable with that one.  If your running linux of some sort then you'll need to get the code that has this fix and compile it.

That's exactly what I did and I get this error. http://i57.tinypic.com/fk33at.png Do I need to RMA my Monarch? I have 2 and they're both having the same error. I used zadig to WinUSB, restarted computer, ran cgminer.

Ya I just downloaded that .exe and put it in the 4.9.1 folder and it works. you have to install the winusb driver using zdiag here http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/zadig/ and from the program menu select "list all devices"

Edit: So do think this is a fix or a preliminary test?  Also what is the driver instance name for the --usb options?
Thanks a bunch, again.
This code should just become part of the next release. It's still all under the same device name for all bflsc driver devices so BAS. The code was never rewritten to account for variants detected after the fact and black/whitelist them (it would be a massive rewrite and manufacturers have all but made this venture worthless).

Interesting, this is what I need for my BFL miners and the speed I'm getting is more than bfgminer, the one they recommends us to use.
Mining at Westhash through a proxy and the test version of cgminer doesn't show very good speed ie: 0000's and low temp but using the test version of cgminer alone works great.

I'm in a pickle. I like the speed of the test version of cgminer but it doesn't handle the #xnsub of westhash so I go to the proxy and LP doesn't mine well.  Huh (also when switching pools it crashes)
What to do? Wait for new version?
cgminer is a BTC bitcoin miner, not an alt-coin miner.
You won't find #xnsub in it since, although it's next to impossible to find the true details of what that does, it's for alt-coin switching on that proxy.
If it has trouble there, pick another proxy pool or use a proper pool.
OK I was taking about bitcoin but it's ok I'm mining there without the #xnsub because rates are high right now. Thanks. here's info on what it does https://www.westhash.com/index.jsp?p=software#devs
