Part 7: FAQ and things that need to be added
Q: I get ttyACMx vs ttyUSBx and no shares are submitted even though the miners work and pull from stratum
A: FML
Q: Cablez's page he mentions several sizes/types (2.1/5.5 vs. 2.5/5.5)
A: 2.5mm plug

Plug # 11 is for the USB HUB !!! Awesome!
Q: Would you consider using Cablez's micro-USB to ATX PSU power cable as well?
I've never seen that, I'll put an order in and Yes!
Q: One thing though... You say to throw away those PSU's that come with it and get a modular PSU capable of 600+ watts
A: I just buy modular cables from cablez here on BTC talk. He can make just about anything for any power supply. I plugged all 10 gridseeds and the hub directly into my corsair AX1200 using custom made modular plugs. You could keep the included PSU's or use a really low wattage PSU to only run in scrypt mode.
Excellent work! I enjoyed reading it. Very thorough,,,but...I have a couple questions.
What does FML mean?
What are the commands for telling the miners to run Scrypt only or SHA and Scrypt simultaneously?
I'm running cpuminer 2.3.2 and using Winblows 7
I'm going to try the freq' to 850MHz
Tried 750 last night, hashes went south so I backed off. I was thinking of trying it, especially after finding and reading the mfg spec' sheets. They'll go even faster than 850, as I recall.
Thanks!
