Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
From the first post:
There is no voltage setting in the command line. There is a frequency setting.

GekkoScience cgminer:
./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --compac-freq 150

=Voltage Adjustment=
==============
In order to get the best performance out of your stickminer, you'll want to adjust voltage. The compac does not support software voltage adjustment, it is actually a hardware setting. Voltage is set by a small potentiometer (you'll see a screw which can be turned) right next to the USB jack. Turning the screw clockwise increases voltage; counter-clockwise decreases it.

Thank you so much for helping me
I'm fairly new to the world of BitCoin and I'm not exactly a computer whizz.
I have downloaded the gekkoscience.com/misc/cgminer-gekko.tar.gz file in the first original post, plugged in my GekkoScience stick, added a new word document to the file labelled start.bat, and saved the file. Inside the file is
./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u AgentRuan.worker1 -p x --compac-freq 150
However, when I try to run it, the commandprompt-like thing pops up and disappears before i can read it.
Maybe my computer is failing to detect the USB?
