How to set up CGMiner with a USB GAWMiner
This video shows you how to set up CGMiner on your windows pc. I show you how to get the windows driver for you mining device. I also show in great detail how to download and install both the windows build and the cgminer program.

- Reddit GAWMiner Post: http://www.reddit.com/r/GAWMiners/com…
The GAW Miner is a USB device. Because of this the process includes the additional step of installing a USB driver for the GAWMiner device over and above the previously studied Installing and setting up cgminer or cudaminer – Scrypt Hash CryptoCurrency Types .

This project uses the motor from cheaper washing machines you would be likely to find in Latin America. I am not sure if they are sold in the USA.

Installing and setting up cgminer or cudaminer – Scrypt Hash CryptoCurrency Types
This video describes set up to run CGMiner with a video card. It assumes the card is already installed with driver and therefore setup consists of only a single line of a linux console command in a file to select the card settings to use.
