Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[QuiTim]

if no bridge, switch not working without the chip ?

Point 1 and 2 on this picture need to be connected together. Point 1 goes to emmc and point 2 goes through the pcb board to the APU I think. If these 2 points are not connected together the Switch will not works (with or without chip, it does not matter).
You need to fix this first, see of the switch is working, then decide if you want to install the pikofly or not.

I use 370 degrees, 25% air speed and the largest nozzle (about 1cm wide). buttons come off in about 5 seconds. usb maybe 10 seconds.

One centimeter? that's very skinny, like one-tenth of an inch. You said your largets nozzle, so, I'm guessing more around a half inch?

Thanks for replying, I'll be trying this today.

bruh. one centimeter is 0.4 inch.

edit: and I guess I should clarify that those 370 degrees are the celsius kind, which equals about 700 degrees fahrenheit

I was doing my Switch installation with a 0.3mm enameled wire, and I broke too many traces. I couldn't find 0.2mm anywhere near me. Luckily, BNTECHGO listed a one-lb 32 AWG in my local shop, Oh boy did it not make all the difference. Looks red and sexy too.

0.2mm wire is the way to go like many have here said.

The wire you use too thick, use the 0.1mm on lite

 

[Elpoep]

The wire you use too thick, use the 0.1mm on lite

is 36awg too thick for the OLED?

wire come with X86 chip is good ?

It's my third Lite

a follow-up to my previous post about relocating the status LED to the home button of the switch lite, I was successful in doing so with the detachable joy-con as well. not very practical, but fun. used pin 6 of the joy-con, JRST, to run the LED data line out of the console and into the controller.

edit: this method causes issues with the joy-con being detected in handheld mode, and is not recommended. may look into alternatives when I am able

was successful in relocating the status LED to inside of a normal joy-con. not very practical, but fun. used pin 6 of the joy-con, JRST, to run the LED data line out of the console and into the controller.

Nice work man and thank you for sharing this with all of us here.
I'm so looking forward to doing this in the next few days.
Although I get the general idea of how it should be done now, any pictures of instalation or diagrams would be highly appreciated.
Cheers

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I'm thinking here if I change the rp2040 that I got and put the model that people use, will it work?

Simply add another resistor on the cmd and/or dat0 into around 100ohms.
Usually people add another 47ohms to existing 47ohms.

I once meet that on v2, and simply add resistor on cmd fixed it.

wow, unpatched model HAC-CPU-01 with rp2040? This customer wallet rocks!

this switch is mine, I'm putting the pico to test and to finalize a v2 for a client that has the same error

u do know they are supported there was firmware created for them u do know that correct?

you just dont get the point ?
they are selling hardware with preflashed software from this forum and making money off of someone elses work who did it for the community for free........

Maybe I just didn't understand you but you said this firmware doesn't work on the Hwfly RP2040. Which is untrue. No need to make it weird or read anymore into it.

i said im not sure, but i have read from some people using the same firmware and thats why i said we should not do support for them cause they "steal" the idea and the work from people who did it for the community and sell them Preflashed with the firmware that was created in this forum from people who didnt get one cent and did this all for the community and they profit from other peoples work.

sure the firmware is free available but they make money off if it and dont give the buyers support thats the main reson we should not support them :-)

its up to everyone themself what they support and what not.
thats why i always advise them to eather create there own thread for those clones and not overrun the threads with devices that are not in the supportet list.
