I have not found a solution yet either.

Wow that's a great speed there ManeBjorn. I might have to try the new firmwares, I am just using stock firmware right now.  I wonder if the newer firmwares would help.  I've also seen some mention of lights flashing on them but they are just solid green for me.

And I stand corrected, I received back a 7-port Anker USB 3 hub from Amazon today and they work in it.  Maybe they just don't like my 10-port Anker hubs.  They were running for a little while fine till I knocked one out trying to capture both speeds and the hub in the same picture, but I was able to hotplug it back in.

Still cant get mine to work properly.

In windows 7, i can get only ONE running in cgminer(various versions) no matter how i do, its always the last i plug in that gets used. Also tried plugging the USB hub in with all switched on, still only uses one.
After running for less then an hour, on Windows, the keyboard becomes unresponsible.


Havnt bin able to get Raspberry Pi with cgminer 3.10.0 to find them. Just says No Devices Detected, no matter what i do. Tried several guides for it, and a number of systems(MinePeon, RaspBian) but none of them detects it. Also tried BFGminer in minepeon, with same result.

Got a 7 port USB 2.0 hub, with external power supply, noname. The AC adapter that came with it only provided 1amp, so i made a molex cable for my computer so it would get more amps that way. Also cut the red wire in the USB, just to check if that would help, either on the raspberry, or the keyboard that becomes unrespnsible. But it didnt.

The guide i used for RaspBian Cgminer

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake
$ git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
$ cd cgminer
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --enable-bitfury
$ make
$ sudo make install

Then i use ./cgminer and fill in the pool and worker specs.



Any help on this will be great, and if anyone solves this so it works, will get a reward(BTC).


Going out to buy a better hub now, to see if that helps.

thank! i will try it

Bought a new USB 2.0 hub with a 3.5 amp ac adapter.

Updatede the firmware on both, via this guide http://c-scape.nl/bi-fury/  chose the 90 degree version.

Kind of the same problem on windows. Except this time, one of them is unknown device. They both work fine alone, with a higher speed then before 5gh/s+, but it will still only run one.

And the problem hasnt changede at all in linux, dosnt find any of them, no matter what hub, or how i hotplug them.

Also noticed that the LED's on the pens behave different now. Before the green led was always on, when the device was plugged in. Now when you start it, the red led turns on, then off. And when the pen is in use the green led flashes.

Yeh sorry about not mentioning it earlier, did the zadig thing yesterday, after reading through some forums for a solution.

Used zadig_v2.0.1.162.exe and added winusb driver to them.

After my last post, i got them both to run on Windows 7, without my keyboard being rejected. So either the bigger AC adapter, or firmware helped.

The next problem is to get it running on my Raspberry Pi, since the computer i use for Bi*Fury, as of now, is also my scrypt mining rig. And it has some restarts....

Also, see how it still says No devices detected!

Very nice!

Found out I need something like this for
powering hex•fury also:)

And if you remove the polyfuse in the blue hub
(that green thingy), you don't need to cut the
red wire.

Higher values get you a higher clock rate, but also increases the hardware error rate, so higher clock settings may not result in increased overall hashing speed. The error rate is usually quite low at clock setting 54 and lower, and increases dramatically for higher settings. Of course, there's always individual variation in chips, so it's worth a try to play with this. Don't be surprised if the default setting is already optimal, though.

the keyboard is unusable again, using on-screen keyboard untill i find a solution for raspberry.

and yes, D then Z cleared it.
