Alright, please be nice.  I am just getting into the usb mining thing and this is my first moonlander.

I purchased it off ebay, its a moonlander with v.1.2 on the board:

When I plug the unit into my Windows 10 machine, it find the device and lists it correctly, but with no driver.

So I went and installed the CP210x driver as the instructions here specify:

After the install, the usb device changed from Moonlander to "silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (com3)

I open the start moonlander bat file, and it says it can not find any devices.  Using the M and + command, I search for all, auto and post com3 in the cmd line, it finds nothing...

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG OR MISSING?  why can't cgminer find this puppy?

Thanks in advance for the help and not laughing at a newbie with usb miners.  Smiley




Yup you got a Moonlander 1, not a Moonlander 2 -- hopefully you didn't over pay for that.
