Question:

Is the setup the same for one or two Rockminers?

I can get 1 unit to work fine, however I cannot get 2 units to works together. I've tried Powered Hubs and Direct on PC (Win 8.1 and XP). Both have 12V 5A power, new usb cables. I have to think it is in my config. I'm using 'rbox_cgminer.rar' V4.3.3 downloaded from www.eyeboot.com.

{ cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --anu-freq 290 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u name.work1 -p 12345 }

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I prefer bfgminer, however I cannot even get that to see my units.

If you are using cgminer, make sure both devices have the winusb driver installed.(You can double check in Zadig) If using bfgminer, make sure you completely uninstall winusb drivers for those devices in device manager. Then install the silicon labs drivers

I installed it on one of my units and it saw it on all 3 - surely its a system specific driver rather than a unit specific driver?

I should clarify, you'll only have to install the driver once if you have no other drivers associated with the device. Windows will automatically install the first device driver associated with a device when plugged in. For instance, if you installed silicon labs drivers for a cp210x device in the past, then install winusb with zadig for a single device, you are going to have to do the same with each new device you plug in, since the silabs driver is the default. The best bet is to completely uninstall silabs or Winusb drivers when switching between cgminer and bfgminer. Do this by going into device manager and right click on the device --> uninstall. Make sure to check the box labeled "Delete the driver software for this device" to remove the device association with that driver.

Ok, I finally got them to both work on a Win 8.1 PC using cgminer and zadig drivers. I really wanted to use bfgminer so I spent most of my time removing silabs drivers, rebooting, adding silabs drivers, rebooting, power cycling everything.... Rinse-and-Repeat (many many times)... With no luck, so I completely removed silabs and re-installed zadig, power cycle, and they both are working together now.

Maybe I'll play some more this weekend and see if I can get bfgminer working, I like that a little better. bfgminer does work and recognize antminers with silabs drivers.
Maybe even tackle adding them to my Raspberry Pi.

Thanks for your help, maybe this will help others that have a similar issue.
