I've looked through as many of the posts as I can, and haven't really found the information I need. Sorry if this is redundant.
I just received my first R606. I have a Windows 10 machine, and went through the steps to plug it in, including updating the drivers.
When I start cgminer, it says it's resetting the device over and over and then fails saying that it didn't find any chips.
I've tried on two different machines to ensure that it wasn't just a single machine.
Is it a bad unit? Is there anything else I can do to check before I ask for a replacement?
Thank you.
Well if you read any posts then you should know you need to forget about Win10. It SUCKS as it really screws up USB communication.
In the meantime:
1. What Power Supply are you using?
2. Set your frequency to 550Mhz.
3. Set your voltage to 4 or 5.
4. You don't say what pool your using, but use solo.ckpool.org for testing purposes with Bitcoin mining.
5. Use the "--gekko-noboost" or "--gekko-lowboost" options which were for trying to get Win10 to function.
Aside from that you need to setup a Ubuntu Linux machine or get a Pi 4 with raspian Linux.
