So I just purchased my first 2Pac miner, plugged it in and...nothing. The LED on the back of the miner is green and the OS recognizes the device but it will not work with cgminer or BGMiner.
The 1st thing I tried was purchasing a couple of powered hubs, both with output over 2.1a per port, and then I bought a HighRock cable. Still nothing! :-(
When running cgminer->USB management->L
Bus 1 Device 10 ID: 10c4:ea60 GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Bitcoin Miner inactive.
Some specifics:
OS: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon(3.6.7) 64 bit(fresh install)
CGMiner: v 4.10.8(fresh compile)
cmd line: ./cgminer -o {stuff} -u {myuserid} -p {gibberish} --gekko-2pac-freq 150
Any suggestions on things that I should try?
Thanks in advance!
You followed the instructions contained on the first post, right?
I believe I followed all of the instructions, including dumping Windows and install Linux.
- I downloaded the latest version of CGMiner & compiled it with the -enable-gekko parm
- I made sure that the Pac2 is receiving at least 2.1A(I now own 2 powered hubs and the HighRock cable)
- I started CGMiner with the -gekko-2pac-freq parm
Can I assume that the green led on the back of the 2Pac indicates that has enough power to operate properly?
