I bought a couple of these new Drillbit Avalon Thumbs to try out.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321343641493

Arrived today but I can't for the life of me get them working on either my Mac or on my Raspberry Pi rig.

I have tried the latest Bfgminer and Cgminer (with drillbit enabled during configure) but neither will recognise them.

My config file is as follows:

Code:
{
"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333",
                "user" : "username",
                "pass" : "password"
        }
],

"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"worktime" : true,
"shares" : "0",

"scan" : [ "drillbit:all" ],
"set-device" : [ "DRB:voltage=0.95","DRB:clock=230" ]

}


With the devices plugged in I can see them in /dev/ as /dev/tty.usbmodem* & /dev/cu.usbmodem* but no matter what options I run Bf or Cg with it won't find them, neither can I add them with the programs open. I have tried with "drillbit:all", "drillbit:/dev/tty.usb*" and "drill bit:cu.usb*" all with the same result.

My understanding was these should have worked the same as the previous Drillbit Thumbs?

Anybody else got these and made them work?
