when I do this the cgminer quits immediately. What should be the usb ?

In order to limit the number of usb devices cgminer will initialize to 1, which is what I think you are trying to do, use:

Code:

--usb :1

This doesn't specify which device, but if you only have 1 plugged in it will initialize that one. Then you can plug in more and this instance will not try to see them.

I read the whole thread and I searched for it but I can't seem getting this right, sidehack.

Can somebody just help me with the USB arguments setting. I just want to select 1 USB device:

cgminer lists 0,1,2. 1 and 2 being the sticks

my command:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u justchillz.CGa -p *** --usb 1 --compac-freq 220

when I do this the cgminer quits immediately. What should be the usb ?

As Mikestang showed. You have to put the ":" in front of the # --usb :1 and space between usb and :

So, if you want to do just 1 device in it's own cgminer, but have 3 devices, you would do:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u justchillz.CGa -p *** --usb :1 --compac-freq 220
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u justchillz.CGa -p *** --usb :1 --compac-freq 220
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u justchillz.CGa -p *** --usb :1 --(whatever it is for the U3's)

In any order you like.

Or you could do 2, 1 for compac and 1 for U3:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u justchillz.CGa -p *** --usb :2 --compac-freq 220
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u justchillz.CGa -p *** --usb :1 --(whatever it is U3)
