                             Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fkkrvgyb54yi3b7/rbox_cgminer.rar

 

     Latest version of cgminer can be downloaded from the OFFICIAL WEBSITE here: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ 

 

2.   Download Zadig Windows Driver: http://zadig.akeo.ie/

 

3.   Plug in the power of your miner and connect USB cable to the computer.

          Windows will recognized the USB miner but will fail to to install a driver. This is OK.

 

4.   Run Zadig. Use the drop-down to find the "CP 2120 USB to UART Bridge Controller" entry.  If it doesn't show, select "Options->List All Devices"

 

                                                                    

5.   Set the new driver to be WinUSB and click Install (or Re-Install) driver.

 

                                                                    

6.   If it is successful you will see this message:

 

                                                                   

7.  Extract cgminer to your chosen location

 

8.   Right mouse click, select edit on the “startmining.bat” file inside cgminer to change to your own information

             (i.e. mining pool, username, password) See example below:

 

 

 

          cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --rmu-freq 290 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u eyebootdaddy_1 -p 12345

 

-o = mining pool address : mining pool port number

-u = workername from your mining pool

-p = password for your worker

--rmu-freq = controls speed (possible values =200 - 300)*

* this is only for the especially Rockminer modified version of cgminer. Newer versions of cgminer use --rock-freq 270

 

 

 

 

9.   Save your startmining.bat file.

 

10.    Run the startmining.bat file and wait a few seconds for cgminer to detect the R-Box.

 

 11.    If cgminer does not recognize the device (like in the picture below) then you will have to unplug the USB cable and replug it in again until it is recognized.
