Re: How to use ASICMiner Block Erupters with CGMiner on Windows 7
5 - Run cgminer-nogpu with these options:
--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COMx -S COMy -S COMz -S COMetc
For my 7 miners, I'm using:
--icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM5 -S COM6 -S COM7 -S COM8 -S COM9
Note that I saw a post from one of the cgminer authors suggesting to use 115200:2:1 and 3.0=80. When I did that, I got errors and cgminer immediately crashed.
I'm getting about 333mh/s with the above on Win7x64.

I really appreciate your post. For all of us noobs out there can you be a bit more specific on how you do step 5? Very basic stuff I know, but I am trying to learn. When I run my cgminer no gpu it first wants me to enter a url. After I put in the mining pool info and my worker info it goes away. How do I set it up to run using the options you have specified? I know its connected and working b/c I am able to mine using the USB BE using bitminter's software. Thanks.
Thanks for the info. I was really upset trying to make them work with cgminer... it was just shutting down.
But with Bitminter sofware works!!!
