Document how to start BFGminer with a specific device #610

I think this should do it:
The Edit: You can also use |
Not sure where you got -S none from, or how the docs can be improved? |
@nwoolls hm. Okay, that works! Thanks! (Especially for @luke-jr Ah! I confused And from the above, I suppose it should be pretty clear that the README's explanations could be improved for all of the following:
In addition, given this warning,
… I think it'd be nice to add a short section to the README about running multiple BFGminers in parallel to circumvent this, noting some of what @nwoolls helped me figure out above. (= |
Would you be interested in updating the documentation to clarify these things? ;) |
Totally! I'm leaving for Hawai'i in a few hours, otherwise this Issue would have been a pull-request instead. :P Re: |
Can somebody tell me why this is not working ? bfgminer -S grd:/dev/ttyUSB1-48F372493133 -d grd@/dev/ttyUSB1-48F372493133 |
There's no such device/driver using the letters "grd"... |
Sorry, something gets wrong wit past some text. bfgminer -S bfl:/dev/ttyUSB1-48F372493133 -d bfl@/dev/ttyUSB1-48F372493133 I see only all my miners when I use bfgminer m+ option "all" |
Those are very unusual device filenames. What do you get from:
|
from the comment above: nwoolls commented on Mar 21 2015 bfgminer -S bfl:/dev/cu.usbserial-4321DEADBEEF -d bfl@/dev/cu.usbserial-4321DEADBEEF |
Those are Mac filenames. You need to see what they are on your system. |
Whats a good common Linux-syntax for the Mac file above ? |
This command should tell you what options are available... |
output: bfgminer -d? Devices detected: must look why nothing is showing up while by option scan all maybe an good option when option scan all or auto put de diagnostics as info in a file ? regards and thx for helping |
Using bfgminer 5.4.2 from the Debian sid repository, here. bfgminer does not properly interpret any standard pattern when specifying devices to scan. I want to restrict it from trying to scan the whole set of I have tried every permutation of
And finally, here's what was successful:
Building on that, I was able to activate all 12 of my gridseeds, without interfering with the printer, by giving multiple
That works, but I imagine there are plenty of users out there with a LOT more than 12 devices... |
I spent the last few days sorting this out. Here are my steps (Ubuntu+ FBM2 miners):

@kcw-grunt @luke-jr is the author of bfgminer, I am the author of Moonlander 2's driver integration. The d=128 flag is actually a pool specific flag thats set in the password field. This sets initial diff to scrypt 128. Since the moonlander 2 miner is "slow" compared to the large ASICs it will take forever to submit a share to the pool using its default diff, and newer users think the device is not working. This sets it to a lower diff initialy so shares are submitted more often. For your other question, you can press 'M' while running and select one of the devices, it will show its serial number so you can match it that way. |
@ please help to configure my moonlander2 coz i already connected to litecoin mining pool but my moonlander2 device is not communating or not detected.I dont know what to do. thanks!!!! |
@ i have a moonlander2 but it shows in the computer monitor no Divice found: press "M" and "+" to add, what should i do next? I |
Windows 7 is probably part of the problem. If you dont see the devices under your device mangers (in the COM section) that means the silicon labs driver is not installed. They might not even support windows 7 at this point though. |
Thank you for your kind reply, actually i`am not good in computer but i just try to have a miner to add a little incomecoz to tell you honestly i`am working in a goverment hospital as maintenance but,unfortunately I`am the lowest paid worker .Yup buy the way i try to set up moonlander 2 in my wife compute windows 10, 64 bit and i already seethe moonlander software in my device manager but still add device "M" and "+" to add .Hope you can give easy guide in order to finish this project.
thank you again

So, the README isn't very explanatory here. Reading,
and,
and,
I've tried each of the following:
In the latter two cases, it started normally, connected to all seven devices, and started mining. No differences. In the first two, it connected to all seven devices, but each one was listed as ‘OFF.’ (Strangely enough, the temperatures all continued climbing. No idea why.)
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
