So what is the current best chip for OLED? I’m a bit lost with all the different versions.. I will be installing these chips for the first time on mine and a friends OLED. Will need to ship to UK

Tried with RP2040-zero on my Switch Lite. Stable work for a week now, no issues.
Works well with 47R resistors (samsung emmc) and IRFH3707 mosfets. Two mosfets set in parallel and soldering to two capacitors on CPU. With a single mosfet there was cyan light all the way. I guess any comparable mosfets (8-10 amps and low voltage gate) should work if you cant find OG's.

Also, anyone knows better point to get 3v3 on switch lite? Point on small cap under flex conn is pain.
Can you share image install of mosfet? thanks

Just pointing out that so far this place has next to no orders and the original "official" store is 50% more expensive. Hopefully it's legitimate.

Open question: ignoring price, objectively is this Instinct chip better or worse than a well installed picofly?
Yea looks very sketchy

it all depends on what u want to pay and how much work u want to put in.
but hwfly & intinct nx chipt are not much harder to install then the pico fly, only difference is u dont have single kabel u have to install if u use the flex cables from hwfly chips. U have the same amount of soldering points u need to solder to.

NOT tested, so NOT putting into the main post (will be updated once I test everything).

no guarantees, use at your own risk.
for those who can't wait

!!!!PINOUT!!!! (resistors / mosfets are still required)

Common GPIO for all boards:
CMD => 28
CLK => 27
RST => 26

Waveshare 2040-zero / 2040-one (default, floating pins 29, 11, 16):
DAT => 29
CPU => 15

Raspberry Pi Pico (detected by thermal sensor on pin 29):
DAT => 22
CPU => 21

XIAO2040 (detected by LED power on pin 11):
DAT => 29
CPU => 6

Adafruit ItsyBitsy (detected by LED power on pin 16):
DAT => 29
CPU => 24

ChangeLog:
- fixed regulator setup
- firmware update feature (+ rollback to backup in case of non-working fw update)
- multiple boards support (no idea if that works, magic, ensure LED blinks after write! that means detection worked fine!!)
- extended OFW support, should not break BOOT0 anymore, OFW BCT is copied into the unused space

P.S. I need some rest.
LED doesn't blink after flashing on a Waveshare 2040-zero

Hello. I'd like to thank the devs for this great job. One question if I may: When I flashed my rp2040 and re-plugged it. It gives a blue light then white, I saw a video on YouTube where it shows a purple color, not white. Am I good or is there something wrong? Video attached, Thanks.

Lol they just jacked the price after couple of orders
I paid with PayPal so have some buyer protection there, so even if it doesn't arrive I'll have some support

At £22 I'm more than happy with the price, I saw a couple of people mentioned it's cheaper to buy pico etc... and one that even laughed at my post, however I'm happy with that price for a reasonably tried and tested product

So fingers crossed :)

Can you show the mosfet diagram please?

yes that was me :rofl:

why because if funny how the prices have been dropping the last couple days ;)

Ahh that explains it, thanks Dee... seems a great price to me

If I wasn't so old with bad eyes, shaky hands and constant migraines I might give the pico a try... but would probably still f*ck it up all the same :rofl2:
