As is typical, everyone comes in and tells you "dont dual mine".. the question was How to do it, not should he do it!
If you plan to use a raspi, get raspbian going (use google, there will be a few things to install to get cgminer going, works the same for cgminer dmaxl), then install from git https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer/
Also make sure to install "screen" etc
Then, SSH in and run:
screen -dmS SHA256 var/www/cgminer --sha256 -o stratum+tcp://etc -u user -p pass -o --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=750,chips=5,modules=1,usefifo=0,btc=16
screen -dmS SCRYPT var/www/cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://etc -u user -p pass -o
Noting to of course change /var/www to wherever you build cgminer-dmaxl to.

my main computer is a macbook pro but i want to run a gridseed 5 chip of a rasberry pi, i'm aware i could do this via minepeon or scrypta but these only use the scrypt mining capacities of the gridseed.
What would you suggest i use in order to mine both algorithms at the same time
Also, as i am using a mac i cannot use windisk32, what is a good sd card writer for mac os.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help mr noob here.

May I ask why you want to use your gridseed to mine both algorithms at the same time, or even use your device at all?
Well i currently have asic sha usb chips that i was using on a usb hub but am selling those, my only other peice of mining equipment is the gridseed
You know that running it on scrypt only would yield more, and that what you earn from it is probably less than your electricity consumption, right?
I don't pay for electricity (legitimate not illegal reason) what would you suggest as an alternative?
If it is a sha miner mine sha, if it is scrypt mine scrypt. Typically gear that does both will make more at Scrypt. Honestly i have not looked into to much gear that does both I know there are dual miners ect. But typically the asics are geared to one segment of mining find out which algo. is best per day.
