Hey guys
Having trouble with ASIC Block Erupter 336 Mh/s. I bought off Ebay for a few dollars so it might not be me but I just wanted to check with you guys before returning to the guy. I'm having trouble getting my computer to recognize the device. I have downloaded the drivers from
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx and installed them. When i got to my devices under unspecified i have cp2102 us to uart bridge controller. I then open up my BFG miner enter all my pool information and worker information, but i have no devices that are being recognized and am unable to add any devices. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks Red.
What configuration options are you using with BFGminer? it doesn't recognise devices 'out of the box', you need to tell it to look for specific devices, with the -S flag, for example -S icarus:all
You can also get BFGminer to detect devices if you press 'M', then '+' to add new devices.
If you can see the bridge controller in device manager, then it is probably working okay - the device it is showing is the USB controller for the ASIC chip on the stick.
Just one final note - at current difficulty, one of these will reach the minimum payout in over four months, and that isn't taking into consideration the periodic difficulty increases (the last one was over 20% IIRC). Once you get this one working, you may want to consider adding several more if you ever want to see the minimum payout, and don't expect to make a profit, unless you can get them for pennies!
