ZenMiner is releasing a large UI update with all the chart and reports your looking for. Will be updated in the next 24 hours!

You can add your own suggestion as well. Just fill it in, in the "other" section and it will get added.

Well I gave up on the zenMiner, but I think the problem is my switch.

Anyway, on my linux system now, here is what I'm getting when I start cgminer:

Icarus Detect: Attempting to opendev/ttyUSB0

I'm pretty sure ttyUSB0 is right, because that's what I get when I run dmesg | grep tty

Did you get the zencontroller?  Instructions were included with that.

If not, search the forum for cgminer instructions, its been posted a few times.

Hopefully the new forum Josh mentioned will go live soon and we can post the instructions in the FAQ.

Cheers,

Cassey

Please, Please feel it wasn't fair to remove the zen controller from fury 3rd week bundle until they were sold out. Could you re-think this?  Don't want to pay $70 for a unit thats not even functional right now.

If you are having issues with the ZenController (raspberry Pi) here's what I suggest you can do to possibly find the problem:

Connect the HDMI cable from the ZenController to a display and plug a USB keyboard into the ZenMiner.  Login using

Username: root
Password: gawminers


Once logged in, you can enter the cgminer screen process by typing: screen -r

You will see the current output from cgminer and if you're like me, instantly realize you did not enter your pool credentials correctly.


To exit the screen and leave cgminer running, press Control-a-d.  (i.e. hold 'Control' then press 'a' then press 'd').


If you dont have an HDMI compatible display, the ZenController is preconfigured to grab an IP address from the network via DHCP.  So you can login to your internet router and the ZenController will probably listed in your list of connected devices DHCP leases.  You can then SSH into the ZenController using the same login info as above.  You could also scan your network for the IP address, or randomly try IP addresses on your network until you get an SSH connection.

Here's my cgminer config for Black Widow (I'm not using the ZenMiner stuff, just the custom cgminer binary on the RaspberryPi).

How much power is it drawing? I have mine plugged into a 650w EVGA 80Gold PSU that's drawing 89w at idle (300w with the BW plugged in). AS SOON as I start mining, it shuts down and I have to CMOS reset my PC to even get it to boot back up.

It's drawing about 4.5 amps @120v.  About 540 Watts.  I have it running from a 550W Rosewill 80Plus Gold PSU.  Will probably have to switch to something bigger...

So I should be able to run it on my 12V@30A supply I have ten Gridseed 5-chips on as well as power a couple Fury's too?  <5A is much more reasonable.  Just need some power adapter cables...   I really don't want to have to run a PC power supply.
