Re: LightningAsic usb miners based Gridseed GC3355 Tech Support Thread

If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355. I have this running on a Raspberry Pi with 10 devices.

A big thanks to Andareed from the team of Scripta!
Currently running one Gridseed unit with Scripta and your cgminer: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.msg138195#msg138195

Thanks CH... Does it work with Ras. PI only or I can hook them all up direct to your cgminer via usb hub?

Not sure I got the question right...but what I am using is a Raspberry Pi (with Scripta) and D-link USB Hub where I plugged a gridseed 5 chip miner (I believe you could plug more units...but I have only one...sadly!). Is not my cgminer...is Andareed version! Wink

Was just curious if it was possible to hook up these gridseed units to the computer directly via USB hub (no controller)... Will Andareed cgminer recognize each device as separate miner much like it recognizes GPUs. Reason I'm curious is cgminer allows you to add failover pools along with other options which I think is not possible using controller they come with (not sure about Scripta and Ras.pi).

Anyways, thanks for your help and giving us more setup options,

Here's how I'm using Andareed's cgminer + Scripta:

cgminer.conf:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
{
"name" : "Pool 1",
"url" : "firstpool.com:3333",
"user" : "myworker.1",
"pass" : "mypassword",
"pool-priority" : "0"
},
{
"name" : "Pool 2",
"url" : "secondpool.com:3333",
"user" : "myworker.1",
"pass" : "mypassword",
"pool-priority" : "1"
}
],
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,192.168.1/24",
"api-listen" : true,
"failover-only" : true,
"scrypt" : true,
"gridseed-options" : "baud=115200,freq=850,chips=5"
}

Then run cgminer from the command prompt:

Code:

screen -dmS 1 sudo ./cgminer --config=cgminer.conf

Last, view the Scripta dashboard based on the IP address of my RasPi ex: http://192.168.1.25 so I get this dashboard: http://imgur.com/RfHShOL

Edit: Looks like user qiqiji over on the official Scripta thread figured out how to make Andareed's cgminer work directly with Scripta. https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.msg138403#msg138403
