Philipma,

Do you know where the cgminer conf file is? I can't find it anywhere - seems to be a different file system to Bitmains usual setup. I want to change the --queue setting, it's set at 8192!!

Cheers.
Hello:
      You can modify 'user_setting' file in /config directory to change --queue setting.

antMiner_S320141126.bin don't surpport adjust voltage. Hash board's power maybe cut off when you over clock.

antMiner_S320141126.bin doesn't support anything at all - it is broken. Read all the reports about it.

Remove it from your download site - then release a properly tested firmware that works!
Now miner hardware modified, I want know your hash board's num. Can you help me? Thanks.

I flashed the firmware on all my S3s yesterday to the Nov 24th release (antMiner_S320141126.bin). It created problems like someone else mentioned above.

So i decided to flash them to the October release (antMiner_S320141024.bin). All except one completed the process. It just kept saying flashing for about 30 minutes....like it had stalled.

I tried to re-connect to it using the static address I've been using for 2 months. I got this message: " This webpage is not available".

So i used the reset button and connected it directly to my PC. When I tried to connect to the original IP address (192.168.1.99), I got: "This webpage is not available".

long story short, it seems my computer and router can not see the miner anymore. Also, The green light for the internet connection only comes on for a second after turning on the miner. I also noticed that only the red light blinks. None of the other LED lights come on.

Did the november firmware release (antMiner_S320141126.bin) kill my miner?

Pls help!  

EDIT: I also tried using an IP scanner to try to find that miner in case its IP address had changed. The IP scanner showed all my other devices  but also reported that  there was a dead device.



Anyone got any ideas how to connect to miner that can't be reset?

currently trying new U3 since last week.
with the latest cgminer fork from bitmain's website it seems to work without zombie now.

But:
is there a way to have an U3 and U1 mining on the same Win7 machine? I know U1 is like a joke, but all this kinda below 1 TH is a game these days. Smiley

any way to monitor temp of u3 and adjust the very NOISY FAN?

Quote
Noise: ~25 DB at 25 °C ambient temperature

this here is never ever at 25 db  (at 20 celsius room) more like 60-70 db.




Hello:

This is pathetic! I can't believe Bitmain would release a product with no solid instructions or mining software to support it.

Maybe if we all email bitmain asking for an Rpi image for the U3 that works they would post one (and for anyone not planning to use an Rpi we could always deconstruct it if we know the cg version used).
I have tried everything I could think of using the settings designed for the new chip. I am now going through options settings for the old ones to see if any work (i.e. icarus options with amu setting etc.)
 So far no luck with anything.                                        Huh

Waiting on engineer (currently 8am).

We had supported here
https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201404130633105772QFG6R2u0635

While I appreciate your attempt to help, the link you are offering is exactly what I have been using for days now and still can't get this thing to run for more than a few seconds before it Zombie's out.
I am running the miner under Windows 7 using the Bitmain cgminer version from that link. I have reinstalled all drivers multiple times. (which is why I am now trying to compile an Rpi image that works before I just give up and sell my U3's on ebay)


About Zombie, don't set pc to sleep. Please offer screenshort when Zombie.

i have had best luck with this command about 45GH/s but not even close to 63GH/s as advertised "hassle free setup" not really
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:1 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u user -p password --bmsc-voltage 0750 --bmsc-freq 0882

can anyone let me know how to mine with multiple u3 in the same cgminer

Please set like this   ./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:1 --bmsc-voltage 0755 --bmsc-freq 0782
The voltage is too low, should at least 0725(turn to Readme)
For the issue about mining multiple U3 in the same cgminer, please connect the USB cable of each U3 into the same PC, or use the same USB hub, connected and run cgminer. Please noted that connection order must be - plug one side of 12V AC/DC power brick into U3, and plug the other side into AC input. Then, connect U3 and the computer via the USB line.

^^^ Thats a BITMAIN engineer.

Following the instructions provided above with a fresh compile of CGMiner from: https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer I still get an abort:


Code:
[2014-11-14 07:56:45] ---------------------start voltage----------------------

 [1]    14682 abort      ./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:1 --bmsc-voltage 0755 --bmsc-freq 0782

CGMiner then closes/crashes.

This happens on both a Ubuntu 14.04 box as well as a OSX 10.9.5 laptop.

If Bitmain can't provide software that actually works with their hardware as they claim why would I ever buy their products again?

Please using U3 in Windos.

Hey guys, thanks so much for the help. I'm not there yet, but now one step closer in the right direction. I created the .bat file, but then i couldn't get CGminer to start from it (open the .txt file with CGminer?) Then, i used that code to try the shortcut method again, and it worked this time!  CGminer opened and responded, but it still isn't hashing. It seems to be caught in a loop where it: sends votage, ok, send golden nonce, bmsc golden nonce timeout...other stuff spaming... then
Bitmain detect <5:3>  failed to initialize.

So still nothing. So far i've only tried it with Slush's Pool and a few other here mentioned having issues on Slush with this as well; might that be it?  I'm done for tonight, but i'll be back at this tomorrow!  Thanks for the help so far.

Hi,

Pls try to install USB driver again referring to manual https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201404130632574925y76a4v50657
Make sure you select CP2102   USB.

Just a preliminary post, "BUT" I may know why these things aren't hashing correctly and I don't think it has anything to do with the chips or power.

Can you give us more information?


Here is a copy of my cgminer screen.

Code:
cgminer version 4.6.1 - Started: [2014-11-17 23:44:37]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (5s):60.29G (1m):58.33G (5m):55.83G (15m):44.99G (avg):56.02Gh/s
 A:17920  R:0  HW:2  WU:782.5/m
 Connected to nl2.stratum.io diff 32 with stratum as user Elliann.u3
 Block: 67e570ce...  Diff:39.6G  Started: [23:44:37]  Best share: 64.5K
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [U]SB management [P]ool management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 0: AMU 0       :                |        | 55.30G / 56.01Gh/s WU:782.5/m

It has been a very long long night.   I have seen spikes of near 65GH/s with the following start command and replacing of the Power with a bigger brick.   That was a snap shot of about 10 minutes running.

Command Line Args:
Code:
--bmsc-options 115200:0.65 --bmsc-freq 0D82 --bmsc-voltage 0850

I wouldn't recommend this for others just yet.  Also if anyone knows a better one to reach what was promised please let me know but for now this is stable.  I will attempt to post video's and Picture's tomorrow to show what lengths I had to go through to get this to work.  Granted the base components are 1x120mm Fan, 1 Gridseed Power Connector, 1 "Cincinnati Tool CO." C-Clamp, and the corner of my table for now.  I am hoping to find some components tomorrow to redesign the bottom half of the case tomorrow.  Yes this is where I believe the entire problem is.  But like I said I will dig a bit more tomorrow.

Also if Bitmain has anymore then just coupon's that I can't use to give me, please let me know.  (I don't spend BTC for mining equipment...  USD ONLY....) to add please do?  Also added name here to name there.  I got 1 from minersource.net.  You will see what I want to order in my cart.

--bmsc-freq 0D82 is setted at a large frequency. You shall modify '0D82' to '0982' which is the max frequency for U3.
