thx
mineforeman is working on an update which will make these USB sticks plug & play, but until then, here's how I got minepeon beta 1 working with them now. *There may be a better way, this is just how I did it.
At the command line:
1. type (or copy/paste)
2. use the down arrow to find the line that starts with "ExecStart=" This is the command that will start bfgminer
3. on that line, use the right arrow to find "bfgminer -S auto"
4. change "-S auto" to "-S /dev/ttyUSB0" for a single miner, or "-S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1" etc for multiple sticks
5. press ctrl+x to exit. nano will ask if you want to save your changes, press y.
6. type
7. type
8. type
9. type
10. type
11. hold ctrl and tap a then d to exit back to the prompt without killing bfgminer
If you have any trouble, feel free to PM me. I'll provide as much help as I'm able.
