If someone could help/advise me that would be great. I have over 200 Zeus Thunder x6's that i have been running on the zeus image for the past couple of weeks. I cant help but notice how shitty the interface is and how almost everytime it doesn't save pool changes and such.

My question to you would be how do i go about setting it up correctly in minera? ive read that the cgminer zeus fork doesn't always work to well with these units and that bfgminer would be a better option.

The chip count on these miners is 128 and the clock setting i prefer to use is 225.

Any assistance and help with setting it up would be great

Thanks!

go here http://getminera.com/help to start with for minera once you have a Gen idea, please read the help first you may not need any help after you do. it is best to use a self powered hub with minera because the pi/s can't power all 200 with out a external powered hub/s.
You might need more then one PI because each PI will only do so many per PI, i forget how many .

Basic lines needed on manual setting are

Code:

--scrypt -S zus:all --set zus:chips=128 --set zus:clock=200 --retries=1

If you use the guided set up in minera this line should be all you need

Code:

--set zus:chips=128 --set zus:clock=200 --retries=1

In the guided set up tun on scrypt ,scan all and the java setting if it's not on and logs , so you can see what might be wrong

you can play with the clock setting to see what works best . ID say from 200 to 248 any thing over might give tons of Hard errors or the miners may not work .

Those lines under manual or guided with bfg loaded should see all 200 and list them all if they are all X6.
Yes BFG is your best bet, it is really the only Script software miner kept updated.

You can set minera to see 50 per page.

This info is for setting up per different type of Zeus miner with BFG.

This is from the BFG read me

You should also configure the driver for your specific device:

   --set zeusminer:clock=N Clock frequency (default: 328)
   --set zeusminer:chips=N Number of chips per device
   Blizzard : 6 Cyclone : 96
   Hurricane X2: 48 (2*24) Hurricane X3: 64 (2*32)
   Thunder X2: 96 (4*24) Thunder X3: 128 (4*32)
Note: if you set this option incorrectly, the device may underperform and/or
   misreport hashrate.

For example:

Code:

bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u user -p pass -S zeusminer:\\.\COM3 --set zeusminer:clock=328 --set zeusminer:chips=128

This is only so you have some thing to follow

This may help some for BFG some of the setting in that post are not needed anymore, it's just to help more then anything .

I still run one of two Zeus miner from time to time they still can make some thing but with the new Script miners that are suppose to come out in two months they will become use less, other then to learn on .

one of the two company's coming out with faster and more efficient miners, said some thing about having a upgrade path for the old Zeus miner parts.

Chips-Count
   Blizzard: 6
   Cyclone: 96
   Hurricane X2: 48 (2*24)
   Hurricane X3: 64 (2*32)
   Thunder X2: 96 (4*24)
   Thunder X3: 128 (4*32)
   ThunderX6 : 128 (4*32)
   lightningX6: 256 (6*32)
   hurricaneX6 :64 (2*32)

These 2 are the same miner as far as speed and layout go.
Cyclone: 96
Thunder X2: 96

all speeds can start @ 200 and up , some may need to start @ 328 speed

if I renumber right all x6 start at 200 to 250 .
