No more old HWFLY CHIP new rev on RP2040

[Modi]

My friend from China reports that HWFLY is no longer producing the old chip, now only the new one based on the RP2040 available for all Nintendo Switch versions. Prices from USD 10 to USD 15

Thanks rehius

And the actual PCB looks the same size as HWFLY (at least for OLED) even with a lot of unused space, because these "guys" didn't want to redesign those flex cables, LOL!

Can't find them at the moment, but maybe i'm not using the right keywords. should be really simple to install

Is this bad news? Because it appears that there's only one FW for the picofly unless I am mistaken and I dunno if there's any updates coming along, as if it needs any which I dunno.

Very good news. No More overpriced HWFLY. Maybe they produce new better firmware for rp2040.

The chip is already feature complete and the developer is actively fixing anything that comes up. No worries.

Wow that's a great deal.

I mean for 10-15 it's worth it. Since the cables themselves cost like that

agree. the time saved compared to DIY rp2040-zero for an additional $10 is definitely worth it

Any updates on this? I am told that the picofly is less reliable and more prone to breaking than hwfly.

Today mine arrived but I can't update them, the pc doesn't recognize them, I keep pressing the boot button but the pc doesn't recognize them, instead my old hwfly recognizes them perfectly, what can I do?,thanks

It is correct, I have installed several hwfly and everything is perfect, today I installed one of those new ones and it damaged the totally brand new OLED!

Sorry to hear that, though let's not confuse Picofly (as per RP2040-zero board) with some chinese-knockoff trial boards.

I'm confused, you say you want to update them, is this before or after you installed? And how did you know they needed updating in the first place if the chip didn't work?
