Getting Zeusminer Blizzard Scrypt ASICS To Work With MacMiner

FabulousPanda · June 2014

the 'minerid' string was just my wildcard for whatever your miner's ID is :S

worth nothing the s in -S must always be capitalised

also worth trying just

-S all

syncsam · June 2014

sweet as will try that, that might have been my problem, not using capitals. I just used small case on the windows version with no problems so didn't realise it had to be capital

FabulousPanda · July 2014

The latest version of MacMiner adds support with bfgminer

syncsam · July 2014

I had a play, I found you have to manually put the -s zus:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART code in to find your miner

Not sure about multiple miners. but ls -l /dev/cu.* should show you

or possibly -S zus:all based on the bfgminer code

syncsam · July 2014

-S zus:all doesn't work so you will have to use the -S for each device. device 2 should be something like -S zus:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART2

FabulousPanda · July 2014

have you tried -S zeusminer:all? the driver was written as zeusminer and I suspect it's that rather than 'zeus'

FabulousPanda · July 2014

Oh wait did you edit that first post?

so it's definitely 'zus'?

Paul Coates · July 2014

yes, definitely 'zus' lowercase.

Note: even though I have --force-device-init, the zus doesn't seem to restart unless I set --hotplug 30 - the zeus seems to take a while to reinitialize after MacMiner does it's automatic restart thingy.

Hi
I got I just do not know anymore and he can advise thank you

I amater makes it a week and still nothing you do?? nas I think it's more what you can not do without help
Thank you in advance

FabulousPanda · July 2014

put this in the ASIC Miner window preferences panel, manual flags:

-S zus:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

Then start the miner and you should be all set up!

tatialdi · July 2014

I could not find where to write!

you can be more specific
thanks

tatialdi · July 2014

Where can I find a window panel ASIC miner?
I apologize but I am a beginner must detail
thanks

FabulousPanda · July 2014

MacMiner - View menu - FPGA/ASIC Device window - click the little cog/sprocket button - there's a bit that says manual flags

First set up a pool in Preferences and use the FPGA/ASIC window NOT the cgminer window

Pool settings not understand

FabulousPanda · July 2014

Set up a pool in preferences

FabulousPanda · July 2014

You don't have a mining pool account to use?

tatialdi · July 2014

FPGAs do not write anything at all
cgminer wrote

FabulousPanda · July 2014

Did you put

-S zus:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

in manual flags?

FabulousPanda · July 2014

in FPGA/ASIC window don't bother cgminer window it doesn't support zeusminer

tatialdi · July 2014

/ FPGA / ASIC is a blank window showed nothing
I entered everything as you said and still nothing
Thanks for your time I hope to manage to start today

CDubVikes · July 2014

tatialdi, to resolve the unable to open /Users/tatialdi/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/bfgurls.conf: No such file or directory issue, just navigate to that directory and create that file with the same content as the other .conf file there. That worked for me.

However, I have still not been able to get this miner to be recognized. I've tried -S zus:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART in manual flags, any other ideas? Any help would be appreciated. The output I'm seeing is:

20s: 0.0 avg: 0.0 u: 0.0 h/s | A:0 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none

FabulousPanda · July 2014

Try these flags:

-d zus -S zus:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART --force-dev-init

as posted by Paul

CDubVikes · July 2014

No luck same message. I'll keep working on it, if you have any other suggestions please let me know.

FabulousPanda · July 2014

when you run ls -l /dev/cu* does it show up there? Got the silabs driver installed?

might try adding --hotplug 30 to the manual flags

tatialdi · July 2014

Still nothing about it fails to run

FabulousPanda · July 2014

Try

-S zus:all

it's definitely working for other people - unfortunately i don't have a device to test

FabulousPanda · July 2014

or

-S noauto -S zus:all

That might help

Howdy, Stranger!
