USB DualMiner (1chip) Mac OSX 10.9.2 Unable to get MacMiner to see the device.

conmango

I have disabled the Apple Drivers using kextunload


This is my listing of devices:

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   18,   1 Mar 10 08:53 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   18,   3 Mar 10 08:53 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   18,  15 Mar 11 10:53 /dev/cu.usbserial-000014FAB

But when I attempt to start anything it still does not see the device.

I just am interested in getting it setup for LTC mining. Any help would be appreciated.

The DualMiner is just directly connected into the USB port on the macbook pro. No external hub or anything since its just the one.

Here is some updated stuff if it helps: Trying this in CPU Miner now.

I got to this point by using the --freq 600 --gc3355=/dev/cu.usbserial-000014FAB Manual Flag

But it doesn't seem to be hashing in CPU Miner.

FabulousPanda

Hey, using the 1 chip device you should install these drivers:

http://ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

and use bfgminer in the GPU window set to script or the ASIC window

in either case use manual flag

-S gridseed:all

conmango

I installed the drivers already. And also ran the ktextunload.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. 

FabulousPanda

If you ran the kextunload that essentially uninstalls the drivers, you can run the same command with kextload or just restart to get them to load again!

conmango

Still seems the same. It only lists the my video card in the laptop.

are you using 

-S gridseed:all

?

It may want

-S dualminer:all

for the 1 chip device

conmango

Yes I changed it to -S gridseed:all

Ill try the other option and report back.

conmango

Same results. Only the GPU from my laptop shows up in GPU Miner and in ASIC Miner it says No Devices Detected.

conmango

The results should look like this in the terminal right?

That looks about right, although just slightly different from others I've seen.

Have you tried the CPU Miner window set to LTC with the flags

--freq=800 -G /dev/cu.usbmodem142431

?

I think I may just get a rasp pi. Seems as though it might be easier to manage that way then on a mac.

Try lowering --freq to 600

pi probably has better support right now, but in a few days Mac support should get a bunch better too

FabulousPanda

btw worth noting the CPU Miner doesn't show a hash rate just accepted shares so worth checking in on the pool site

conmango

It seems to give me the same result. I checked the pool site and it doesn't report anything happening.

FabulousPanda

OK thanks for testing it out, I should have a new version I expect to work better ready very soon! You're the first person to give detailed feedback for the 1 chip device, and detailed feedback is all we needed to get the 5 chip devices hashing

conmango

Funny thing. I just got a 5 chip in the mail to test out. So I was going to try that out while I wait for my Pi to arrive.

FabulousPanda

Ah cool, you don't need to worry about drivers with that one, just run it in CPU Miner set to LTC with the same manual flags as above  - replacing the device path of course!

conmango

I plugged in the 5chip. Just added --freq=800 -G /dev/cu.usbmodemfa141 into CPU Miner Manual flag. and it worked. Only 13 of 17 accepted so far, but maybe that will stabilize in a little bit.

conmango

This was so much easier with the 5 chip.

FabulousPanda

Awesome! Try a few different frequencies, 750 and 850 have been said to work well. If you keep getting a lot of rejects you might run faster at 750. 

Someone else already went through all the troubleshooting parts with the 5 chip - you're doing that for the 1 chip and helping everyone else out Will update here when it's updated for your miners.

conmango

I would be happy to help you troubleshoot the 1 chip. So just let me know when its updated and ill report back.

I am trying out the 1-chip DualMiner and am getting these results with the same flags. It looks like it is hashing, but the hash rate in the pool is 0.0 - if I move the device to my Windows machine, the hashrate is ~69kH/s. Am I doing something wrong? I had it running on OSX for around an hour, but the hashrate was still zero.

I think we are waiting for an update to MacMiner. I had the same results at you.

FabulousPanda

Please try this version:

http://downloads.fabulouspanda.co.uk/MacMiner-gridseed8.zip

Which should work with bfgminer updated by luke-jr an hour ago. 

LTC in the GPU window and BTC in the ASIC window both use the flag

-S dualminer:all

pigpen

Do I have to download the bfgminer gridseed branch separately? I can start the app but it can't detect my 1-chip device:

The app is in need of update, please download this:

http://downloads.fabulouspanda.co.uk/bfgminer-gridseed.zip

and unstuff it then put the bfgminer folder in 

MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/

replacing the one that's there

then run FPGA/ASIC window with the manual flag

-S all
