The lights are a bit different form board to board. All green lights are the same. The board i put the usb in is blinking yellow very often, seldom red. The second board blinks half so often but most of the time yellow and red. Third similar but seldom at the same time. The next blinks more seldom and red any yellow are similar often. The fifth blinks seldom and sometimes more red than others.
It looks like the first miner with usb connected works more than any other.
What is the miner doing when i close cgminer and it still works on?
Not closing an old cgminer properly? (see task manager)
It is always best to quit with 'q' and see it exit - windows ...
Also try 3.3.3 and see if it has that windows problem you mentioned.
I'll try my BTB on windows again today with 3.3.3 and see if I have any problems.
I've not built 3.3.3 yet, it was only released last night while I was asleep - it's mainly CPU improvements, but there was also a problem with the first windows version of 3.3.2 in the downloads if you got the wrong copy of it.
I tried closing with q but it doesnt change. The flickering is a bit less, especially for the first board but it goes on somehow. And there is no process open anymore.
I already use 3.3.3 after i saw it some hours ago.
Will there be a miner-setting-menu at some point? So that cgminer dont have to be restarted for volt- and clockchanges?
And when i use
start ./cgminer-nogpu -o stratum+tcp://mmpool.bitparking.com:3333 -u * -p d=8 --avalon-freq 350
it seems to not having an effect on the hashrate.
Maybe it's time for good-old problem solving technique: reduction to properly working minimum, then adding things one by one. Disconnect the boards, then power and test one by one. Make sure that each one is working as it should and that each one gives the same result. Then make a pair, and finally completely connect everything. Somewhere along this process things will start working properly, or a problem will be pinpointed.
I tried this now. I found that all boards work like they should when run per usb alone. When using 2 boards together the hashrate doubles but the third starts to not make a big difference. One miner makes 5GH, 2 makes 10GH but three, i tried all remaining three one after another, only leads to number around 9-10GH again. Like it doesnt make a difference. And i used the jumper correctly. The last board at the stacking cable and at the opposite site of the usb-board needs the jumpers. The usb-board itself seems not to need the jumper very much. But now i have the impression the HW-Errors are a bit less when the usb-board has jumpers too. Might be random.
When i put in the remaining 2 miners it only goes to 14.6GH or so and thats it.
try
./cgminer-nogpu -o ... --avalon-options 115200:2:10:35:350
If you have different per device settings to 2x10 chips - set those numbers as appropriate
Also, I run mine at 400 without any problems: --avalon-options 115200:2:10:30:400
( ~1.4% errors and: --avalon-fan 99-100 )
BTB 0: 48/ 48C 1225mV | 8.228G/7.766Gh/s | A:150253 R:930 HW:2107 WU:110.0/m
(approx 23 hours)
This option seems to work. The hashrate jumped a bit from 14 to 17GH. I used your setting. Unfortunately the HW-Errors rise a lot. A/HW is only slightly better than 100/50. And when i set the voltage to 1300mv it doesnt help. Burnin's Tests showed that raising the voltage would help to lower the HW-Errors. It looks like i dont have luck with this.
And i noticed that the higher clockrate leads to often this line: BTB0: Idled 1 miners. I dont know what this means.
One time the miner crashed after a minute when i ran it with high clock but normal voltage.
I hope theres a solution for the hashrate and the HW-Errors. I updated the firmware of all boards before too.
When i look at the stats... since i use the higher clockrate the temperature isnt anymore around 36°C, its only 24°C now even though the fans arent louder so i doubt they work more.
I use this command in a batch:
start ./cgminer-nogpu --avalon-options 115200:2:10:35:400 --bitburner-voltage 1300 -o stratum+tcp://mmpool.bitparking.com:3333 -u *** -p d=8
And cgminer shows this after 5 minutes:
