I've got a worst problem:
2 of my 3 BFx2 are aside until I solve my problems with my hubs.
The one I'm plugging them, somehow doesen't deliver it's 3,5A to the ports.
When I plug one other, the further from the usb cable doesn't light the vcore led.
If I unplug the one with vcore's led lit, the other one light's the led and start's mining.
On other hub I get "unrecognized device", although Antminers, BE's and pen drives work on it. (although somehow i can't have more than 4 antminers for now, even with 10A... something weird over here...)

Are you sure it is really 10Amp?

Good day, thnks i will test it on evening Wink

The BFx2 also needs an extra fan to provide cooling. In my experience the speed will drop if you do not provide a fan. After providing cooling you can also use the pencil mod to increase voltage and then speed up the miner.

Video link on how to pencil mod:

I think --bxm-bits=54 is the best as well.

So the Miner automatically adjusts down if it gets too hot? And also back up when it cools?

At time i use "53" but 2 miners are slower then the other.

Thanks a lot

I will test your option, without the BFX doesn't go more than 3,5GH/s.

I think I have found.

I have compiled bfgminer 4.0.0 (a little long on raspberry Cheesy

).

I have launch it with /usr/local/bin/bfgminer -S all -S bfx:all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

The bfgminer use CPU about 2 minutes, before start to mining and show something.

yes, I'm using

/opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S all -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

I try a lot of things I saw on forums, for the "-S" option. Doesn't works :s

Here, with cgminer, and /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf
I've got :

Hello,

I'm using two antminer U2 (working well), and I have just added a bitfury twin.

Bfgminer 3.99 or 3.10 doesn't work if both models are connected (I'm compiling 4.00 version). Alone, bitfury works.

With cgminer 3.4.3, all worked, U2 at normal speed, but the bitfury is under 100MH/s.... alone, she is 4GH/s easily.

Is someone have ideas to try ?

The usb hub is powered enought (3A, for just the U2 and bitfury connected).

Can you copy-paste your bfgminer command line arguments?

Well, what i bought were sapphires, seems every other program calls them what they want to. The ones that do 333MH/s. I say it's better than an empty usb port, when i've got the amps to spare anyway.

Nope, was on 3.10(thought that was the latest, so does google), now it sees the BFX, mining at 4.2GH/s! which is fine for me, calls my ICA's BES though for whatever reason.

Wow, a real world Icarus is still mining? Cheesy

Block Erupter Sapphires are more common, so BFGMiner 4 assumes them by default.
You can tell it that it's an Icarus with -S icarus:all

I'm not overclocking it with that command line am I? because I've only got it on passive cooling but in a pretty good flow of the A/C.

Thanks for the help.

NM, that's hot anyways, puttin a fan on it.

ok so i put in "bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u < my user> -p -S bfx:all --set bfx:osc6_bits=54"

and got "bfgminer.exe: --set: unrecognized option"

Note: I'm a serious noob to most of this. I'm used to bitminter's GUI based mining program and have mostly overclocked antminers through it up til now. I've exhausted their help and just reading through here before posting this. Other than that I've gotten a Red Fury to work at base speeds by finding its driver but that's it.

Are you using 4.0?

Any idea what "FT_GetComPortNumber(0000000000003D84FF0 (0), 120)" error message in bfgminer is telling me to do? I see the device in device manager (running windows 7x64 btw) on COM120. I get that message when i search for all or specifically probe COM120.

You need to use Zadig on BFx2 to get the WinUSB driver.

Did that and now it doesn't see any devices at all. Ran it with "bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u -p -S bfx:all --bxm-bits=54" and it tells me that "--bxm-bits=54" is an invalid option.

That's because --bxm-bits=54 is an invalid option.
Perhaps you meant --set bfx:osc6_bits=64

--set bfx:osc6_bits=54

You're getting your applications mixed up it seems. bxm-bits is a cgminer option.

This is nothing to do with your web browser, don't know where you got that idea. This is just typing 'java API stats' on the command prompt from within the cgminer folder while cgminer is running.
