Hello guys!
I am in need of help! I would like to run Block Erupters, U1 Ants, and Yellowjackets, all in one instance of BFGminer. im running win 7, I can confidently change from Zadig drivers to CP210 drivers, I just need the correct command lines so that everything is detected and my ants get over clocked to 2.0 gh/s im fine with NF1s being stock ( they run at 2.5 stock)
I hope someone with more knowlage and skill can lend me 5 min of their time and trouble to help me.
Thanks in advance!

ZipTheRip,
I would advise against running all three in the same instance.
I am currently running 8 BEs and 5 ANT U1s as well as one BFL Jalapeno, and the BEs are barely contributing due to the BFGminer instance running at difficulty 16
I am thinking that it would be better to run two instances of BFGminer and have the BEs in one, and everything else in the other. I suspect the BEs will run at 4 or 8 difficulty, with the faster devices running at 8 or 16.
I am actually going to be testing my theory in a just a little while.
Also, BEs are effectively not worth mining Bitcoin anymore from a electricity consumption standpoint. After I test my above theory, I will the relegating my BEs to mining some other SHA-256 coin.
Erupters as of today are still returning 6/1 over electricity cost(UK) that gives them about 10 weeks more useful hashing.
the only difference is the amount of network traffic you generate.
EDIT:- The other limiting factor is:- how long it takes to generate 1 share.
If the pool finds a block before your miner finds a share then you have 0 shares.
