Hi
I played with my blades for few hours, read ton of online materials but did not find solution for my problem.
I connected blades to my home Windows server and the problem is when I start cgminer it does not detect blades. I have to unplug the blades, start cpuminer and then plug usb cables from blades quite fast so cgminer detect the hardware. It is frustrating as server is in the part of the house I have a long walk to and going there to do such stuff manually instead of remote desktop :/
Same problem here, but I found a pain-in-the-ass cure for it. Download a program called "Zadig" which manages your WINUSB and other device drivers. Open the program, and go the options tab at top and click "list all devices" Then after you start cgminer (Windows x64) you click on the reinstall WINUSB driver over the STM32 driver and your Gridseed Blades will be recognized and won't drop off completely I found.
