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!
Have you tried adding the hotplug to the command line (--hotplug
n [interval in seconds]),
restart cgminer & wait for it to initialize (hub plugged in, but no miners), then plug one stick in @ a time?
This has worked for me with more than 2Pacs.
I just gave that a try and turned on the Verbose display setting.
There is a Device serial GS-10017626 not responding. Is that the 2Pac?
Also, if I start cgminer with -n parameter, it lists the 2Pac as USB dev 0 but I can't enable it. very strange
Thanks for your help.
