smargo triple card reader

were do you get it from

considering how rubbish smargo is on ecm times that price would get me 6 omnikeys and they are so much better on ecm times

personally i would leave it

i have oen of this readers, but im havving troble to setup with OSCAM
can some one help me with some smargo config for oscam, so i can see if this works

Best way ti use many smargos is to load them with sw 1.5 and in oscam config you bind each card with proper smargo serial.
They never mix this way.

Quote from kemestri

I followed the advice of silverfox and bought omnikey reader from eb*y for £7.99. works so much better and as silverfox said reduces the ecm times considerably.

Give us some stats Kemistri ? wot was ecm time before and after ???

Thanks M8

I am also struggling to get this working with Oscam. In smartreader or smargo mode it doesn't find it, and in mouse mode you get the error 'ERROR: Could not read reader->convention'

not found a solution anywhere, the windows tools don't work on this reader as it gives you an error after detecting multiple readers so no update this way, on doing some searching, it seems that they intend to bring out some tools for this to enable it to be used in smartreader mode.

The closest I get it to work is in mouse mode, but on all frequencies tried for my cards I get the above error. These are £60 quid, and when you can get card readers from our sponsor for a tenner then I think I might sell this one and get three single readers from sat-shop

This is a answer from smargo (Argolis Netherlands) for my question about work with a triple reader in oscam in February 24th.

Because many people ask for the settingstool, we will provide one. It has not been finished yet. You can not use the settings tool for the single smartreader.




Please make sure that you use the latest 3rd party software. Most software supports the triple reader automatically.




The old dm drivers don't recognise the vid and the pid of the device. So you can modprobe it manually and the kernel will recognise the 3 devices.




 




An example:




 




at first, check what devices you have :




cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep 'T:\|S:'




sample output:

S:  Product=UHCI Host Controller




S:  SerialNumber=0000:00:1f.4




T:  Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12  MxCh= 2

S:  Manufacturer=Argolis BV




S:  Product=Smartreader plus




S:  SerialNumber=BLAAH001













Now you see that you have one Smargo with SerialNumber "BLAAH001", just put "device = Serial:BLAAH001" in oscam.server and configure other needed parameters for this. Do the same for other Smargo slots (each of them should have own specific SerialNumber) and u'r done. 
If you cant use smartreader protocol, then you need use /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2 etc. accordingly or bind these Smargo devices with the specific names using udev rules, so you have no mess with device order.

Yep they are better because they overclock ya card!!! Not good for nds cards in my opinion

same problem here dude!
not recognized triple reader and with simple usb smargo reader returns 'ERROR: Could not read reader->convention'
any idea? did u solve it ?

I solved it!!!!!!!!!

set mhz = 500 in reader cluster,

with version 1.3 smart setting argolis software and NOT 1.7 set:

cardmhz = 368
MODE autoswitch
FREQ 3.69 Mhz
KERNEL normal
T_MODE t = 0
EGT 0

attach reader and restart works fine now!

CARDOK message in webinfo hahaaa

The previous post doesn't work for the triple card reader. There is no software utility that can update this or change any settings, which is why I would probably recommend getting 3 omnikey readers for half the price instead. However if you are stuck with one of these as I am, I found a possible fix on the argolis website so you can get this to work with Oscam. I am having some success at the moment with this but I think I might be missing something because I am still having some issues.

Assigning the Argolis Triple Reader to new device names.

Place this file iin /etc/udev/rules.d/
By reconnecting the triple reader it will be assigned to the new device names.

Read the serial number of the triplereader: lsusb -d 403:6011 -v | grep iSerial
Serial number: 00000001
Readername: triplereader_TEST
The new names for the triplereader with serial number 00000001 will be:
P1 = /dev/triplereader_TEST00
P2 = /dev/triplereader_TEST01
P3 = /dev/triplereader_TEST02
Serial number: 0000ABCD
Readername: my_READER

The new names for the triplereader with serial number 0000ABCD will be:
P1 = /dev/my_READER00
P2 = /dev/my_READER01
P3 = /dev/my_READER02

Hi i have manage to put my to work as

protocol = smargo
device = TripleP1;Serial:00000xxx
device_out_endpoint = 0x81 #smargo triple
#device_out_endpoint = 0x83 #smargo triple
#device_out_endpoint = 0x85 #smargo triple
smargopatch = 1

But is too slow on my nagra card im having times of 800ms and the normal is 380ms at the same clocks
