Picofly AIO Thread

[A-Hacked-Soul]

So got it all wired up and getting OFW, it looks like the CLK from the led color. Gonna try again tonight.

I attempted to install the Picofly w/hwfly v2 cable on my Switch Lite last night and, although my solder points seemed okay, it won't boot. I get a blue light, white light, then a flashing blue (for a while), and finally red before turning off. What did I do wrong? Is there a way to test my soldering with a multimeter? Is there a Discord for getting help with this?

EDIT: I solved it! I moved my 47 Ohm resistors over so that they were hanging off and it made a better connection. They must've been bridging.

When I power it on, I get a blinking blue light for about a minute 10 seconds, then it blinks white, and continues to blink blue for another minute 20 before blinking red then turning off.

First time here, question, can i try to use FDMC7672 mosfet?
Is there any damage possibility if use wrong mosfet (i mean only the detailed spec which is lower or higher).
Also with this chip i can wired it like bellow attached image.

HELP everyone, just installed picofly it goes blue and green SUCCESS

But ofw is purple screen while CFW through Hekate is failed to init eMMC

Is it software or hardware issue?

I have a burning hate for those wires now

can you boot stock?

What are the diode reading that you're getting (red probe on GND)?
Those wires are pre-tinned too much, I see some possible shorts:

Nope, purple screen. When CFW , "failed to init eMMC" failed to launch HOS

Disconnect the 3.3v and GND from the PI and try to boot into OFW. If its still not booting into OFW then may be something wrong with eMMC.

if glitching has been attempted then boot0 is already overwritten so I dunno.

all points still good?

Didn't open it back yet, as I remember. Blue then green success. Before I open it, what should I know?

I know for sure to check point A. If there is no value then replace 10k resistor but what if there is value?

As far as I know point A (CMD) resistor value is 4,7kOhm but probably it will works with 10k too.

in my dat0 i get a reading of 9.97 set at 20k in my multimeter. i get orange when i on the switch in my pico. is my reading value okay?

You should read it Diode Mode (between 200 Ohm and 9V on your multimeter). Put the red probe on ground, and you should get around 0.4 - 0.5V. Repeat the same step for all other points and let us know your results.

i get a value of 967 in diode mode

790 when red on ground and black probe on dat0

 

[Phantomas77]

0.790 seems a bit high to me, I usually get from 0.400 to 0.540 (red on GND) and Pico indicates it's DAT0 related issue. The console boots to OFW?
I would try to reseat the Dat0, maybe give it a slight pressure (not too much) before soldering the anchors.

my multimeter seems to be different thus the high value...

That, or shitty connection. What are the readings on other points: CMD, CLK?
Pico is clearly giving you a DAT0 related error.
I'm giving you as well this image:

That alignment is not good, you do the math.

guys can all of these resistors be used for rp 2040 switch they all 470 0805 resistors

I cannot post links because i have a new account so i base64'd them
