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.

Try the app on Bitminter... if it doesn't pick it up, it's probably the miner. Bitminter's app has always picked up USB devices for me.

I use MultiMiner for mining and have not had any issues with it discovering my Antminer U1's, nor my Cube run via proxy. Currently I have 2 altcoin rigs (plus a build in the works) and my single Cube, all running MultiMiner and Windows 7 or 8. Occasionally the Multiminer app will crash/hang/freeze but it is highly supported and the author is constantly working on new revisions, currently on v2.7.6 though I run my 5800 series altcoin miner with v2.6.2 and an older catalyst for best hash rates.

Then there is MobileMiner which is an app for your phone (and now there's a browser page too) for monitoring your miners. Just gotta enter ther app API into your miner settings and you are able to monitor, start, stop, restart your miners from anywhere. The only time this does not work is when the miner app crashes etc or you machine is down.
