It is the jalepeno that is connected to USB (COM16). Changing the USB plugin that the jalepeno is plugged into causes the new COM port to be in use as well and Bitminter is unable to detect the device there either. Yet under my Devices and Printers Windows page the jalepeno shows up as BitFORCE SHA256 SC.
I also posted this:
I flashed on of my jalepeno's this morning with BitForce_SC-1.2.5. Everything seemed to go fine. However now Bitminter cannot connect to it. Under Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers BitFORCE SHA256 SC shows up. And it is on USB Serial Post(COM16). Bitminter says it cannot probe COM16: port in use. Can anyone give an idea of what I can do to fix this? Or did I break it?
The COM port is always in use? Did you try a reboot?
Since I flashed the jalepeno, yes. The jale is plugged in and windows sees it as a miner but now the bitminter program does not see it and says that it "cannot probe COM16: port in use" . The port is in use because the jale is plugged into it. Checking device properties the jale shows up on the com port that bitminter says it cannot scan or something. I have rebooted several times. I also tried plugging the jale into another usb plug. The com port changed and the same message was given by Bitminter, "cannot probe COMxx: port in use".
