The RockMiner R-Box is the new replacement for the Cube in the ASICMiner series, and it uses only 10% of the power. This model is the first one to feature ASICMiner's generation 3 40nm BE200 chip. Each unit comes in a specially designed box with tailored padding.
I assume the equivalent .conf entry for the frequency would be:
"anu-freq" : "270",
The Rock site (somewhere) had "--rock-freq 270" in an example. Are you sure "anu" is correct? (I'll probably try both anyway but thought others might have the question as well). You also might note that 290 is the 'advertised' max freq the vendor recommends.
Thanks!
That part of the doc is inaccurate, the parameter used is anu-freq. For those of you using Rockminer's 4.3.3 windows build, you may also notice that it defaults to 270 no matter what setting you use. I've rebuilt the binary with the latest 4.3.3 code and that resolves the issue. If you're looking for an end to end simple installer for Windows, I have built one using the WIX toolset:

Another great guide dogie!

I don't talk about overclocking on these ones as the product is already at the part of the power curve where any higher power consumption makes it ridiculous. We should really talk about underclocking.
Officially, they support 270-290, which gives the range of 32gh/s to 37gh/s. I wouldn't recommend going over 290 clock rate but I think I read about someone underclocking to 200.
Having trouble getting these to work in Windows 7.
I followed the direction at https://github.com/rockminerinc/cgminer-for-R-BOX/blob/master/handbook.md
When I plug them in, they're detected as a USB device, as expected. I tried replacing the drivers with zadig_xp_2.1.0, zadig_v2.0.1.161, and zadig_v2.0.1.162. Regardless which one I use, the drivers are installed, and they show up as USB devices, however, CGminer isn't finding them.
Tried both the included cgminer win0.3.1 and cgminer 4.3.4.
When I use the option "--rock-freq 270", I get the error, "Unrecognized option: --rock-freq 270". I tried replacing that with "--anu-freq 270", and I don't get an error, but it still does not detect them.
I do note that Zadig detectes them as CP2102, not CP21202, as the guide suggests.
I have previously used BFGminer on this machine with the appropriate drivers.
Update: Tried CrazyGuy's install - just sits there on "Started cgminer 4.3.3", and eventually starts with no devices.
Got it working. No idea what was wrong, but I unplugged the USB cables, moved them over to two other ports, and reseated the power cables - started working.
Sometimes you need to re-plug in a device when installing Winusb after FTDI. Your best bet if switching to cgminer is to completely uninstall FTDI drivers in device manager.
