BOOM!!! did it!!!
am i wrong ??
Are you trying to use the .conf config file AND the command line?
If so pick one and go with it. I prefer to use the command line and have never used the .conf.
thank you soo much for help. can you explain
~snip~
step 4 what does that look like if running ck pool. how does that command look
If you want to use ck pool with that command, it should look like this:step 4 what does that look like if running ck pool. how does that command look
Code:
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u YOURBTCADDRESS.WORKERNAME -p x --gekko-compacf-freq 400 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60 --suggest-diff 128
after going through all steps i still cannot get 500mhz. herer are the current cg miner files in my ras pi boot:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333",
"user" : "WALLET",
"pass" : "x"
}
]
,
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"log" : "5",
"worktime" : true,
"api-allow" : "0/0,"
}
AND in seperare file boot/pi/cgminer :
#!/bin/bash
cd /boot/pi/cgminer
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u WALLET.Miner -p x --gekko-compacf-freq 500 --gekko-start-freq 500 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60 --suggest-diff 128

Okay so based on consensus I guess it is in my best option is to remove the CGMiner version that came from BitcoinMerch.com and install Kano's version.
So here is the update to what I had to do to get Kano's Version running on the BitcoinMerch Pi4.
Step 1. Follow Kano's instructions to install CGMINER on Pi here by running each line in terminal:
CGMiner Git
The master git for cgminer is https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer
CGMiner README https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/README
That includes linux compile steps, but to repeat, on linux:
Step 2. Create a file called start_cgminer.sh in the following folder /home/pi/cgminer
Step 3. Edit the file with a text editor to include:
Step 5. Add your WORKERNAME directly after the . following your BTC address/Username. for example: On Kano's pool: sledge0001.miner on CK's Pool: 1KfQmhug959W79PHfASLym3Z17bJ6ohxNb.Miner
Step 6. Right click on the file you created, go to permissions and make sure "anyone" can execute the file.
Step 7. Open Terminal
Step 8.Type in:
Step 11. Hit the Y key to confirm
Step 12. Hit your enter key to exit
Step 13. Reboot your pi typing
Step 14. When your Pi is back online open terminal again and type:
And now you're in business using the Kano approved version!!!!!!
Optional:
Step 15. Navigate to /home/pi/git and move the folder vthoang to trash
Step 16. Navigate to /home/pi and move the .cgminer (NOTICE THE PERIOD) folder to the trash
Step 17. Right click on the Trash Bin and empty trash!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev git
cd

Step 4. Replace YOURBTCADDRESS with your Kano.is username if using Kano's pool. If using CK's Pool then use your BTC Address.cd /home/pi/cgminer
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 -u YOURBTCADDRESS.WORKERNAME -p x --gekko-compacf-freq 400 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60 --suggest-diff 128

Step 6. Right click on the file you created, go to permissions and make sure "anyone" can execute the file.
Step 7. Open Terminal
Step 8.Type in:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Step 9. directly above the exit 0 type: Code:
su - pi -c "screen -dm -S miner /home/pi/cgminer/start_cgminer.sh"
Step 10. Press CNTL + X to saveStep 11. Hit the Y key to confirm
Step 12. Hit your enter key to exit
Step 13. Reboot your pi typing
Code:
reboot
into the terminal and hitting enterStep 14. When your Pi is back online open terminal again and type:
Code:
screen -r miner
And now you're in business using the Kano approved version!!!!!!

Step 15. Navigate to /home/pi/git and move the folder vthoang to trash

step 4 what does that look like if running ck pool. how does that command look
anyone had success running these on 500mhz full time??? and how 
It would help if you provided more details. Like: do your sticks not run on 500MHz? What speeds do they reach? What is your setup? Which hub, power supply, cooling solution and voltage do you run? Did you play with voltage at all? What are your cgminer settings?10 Compac F, Gekko science hub, 4 per hub, ras pi 4 , currntly running 460Mhz, individually cooled and an extra fan behind them cooling. cg miner setting ?
I run these with no issues on the latest version of Kano's cgminer.
Code:
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u BTC.WORKERNAME -p x --gekko-start-freq 350 --gekko-compacf-freq 580 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60 --suggest-diff 3000
What do you have your voltage set to?
I see anywhere between 3.5A per port and up to 4.1A draw per port depending on the stick.
does anyone know the total amount of compac F able to run properly off one Raspberry pie 4?
I have confirmed that you can run up to 15 sticks on a Pi4. The 8GB Pi4 version that is.
Anymore than that and it won't see any additional devices (or at least in my case).
Thank you !!!!
i have adequate air flow. yes this code never seems to work. is there something possibly i didn't install properly? i can only axcess and see performance vis command :
screen -list
screen -r ###
is there a way to change frequency via there?
also tis is what my cg miner config file looks like. could this need some tweeking? currently running ras pi 4b now no longer pi zero. thanks for all of your guys help.

Well, the API output will tell you that.
Also on Linux or Mac running 'top' in a terminal will tell you that also.
On Mac the docs mentions something to try.

sorry im a complete noob. can you explain how and were to put commands
also for some reason i cannot vet the change frequency and tuning commands to work. any ideas. this is what iv have so far :
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 -u <wallet adress> -p x --gekko-compacf-detect --gekko-compacf-freq 500

can anyone help ?
I do have 3 x SiPolar hubs that can't seem to handle even 2 Compac F's above 2.5A so I am happy to replace hopefully all of them!
Im not sure what you mean but i use 5x sipolars 120w hubs,all populated same way with 3Fs & a fan on each hub and all running btween 525Mhz to 600Mhz. that i believe is a power range of 2.7A to 3.3A. I havent perfected the art of tunning them all to run at same freq so i left them to run that way for now..
My observation is.. Even Sipolar has a fake.. while i was shopping for sipolar hub i noticed the fake one from the real , they called it Sip0lar - where the o was replaced with numeric zero -0. so i went straight to the source to order , which means goin back all d way to china.
Unless my results below doesnt count .. I stand corrected.

how do i get this screen on mac? sorry noob
Thanks for the help.
I have tried what you suggested, "increasing the --gekko-compacf-freq by increments" without success. I changed the frequency up to 560 and decided not to further increase. Let me know what the max I should attempt to use as I can continue. I am curious if this is the issue in red:

Maybe this maybe related to old drivers for the miner. Is there anyway to check to see if there is a driver update for the new COMPAC F? If there is how would you go by updating the software to support the new driver?
In the mean time I have placed an order for a new hub (Bitcoin Merch® - 10 Port Powered USB Hub ONLY 120W 12V 10A) just incase this is power related.

where do you enter this command ?
To really get the most out of the Compac F's you need to drive them with 3.4A+ 
Your USB hub is not supplying enough juice!
Your USB hub is not supplying enough juice!
yea so i now have them connected to the gekko science hub i think thats the best one out there no?
i have a hub that is rated for 2.1 amps and currently connected 3 compac fs im not nearly getting the performance i should out of these. mostly in the 500-699ghz tops. any thoughts ? thank you for your response.
hi there. just wondering if anyone has ever run a mars lander unit from bitcoin merch.com and used that as the primary ras pi set up and connected an external hub with additional conmpact f's and had success?
