Hacking Finally Someone Tweets Why Pin 9 with 10 is BAD!

[garyopa]

I been saying for a while, the only true way for JoyCon Jig is doing the pin1 and 10, and now here is the tweet that proves my point:

Kinda forgot to tweet something about this: current joycon FWs detect the pin 9-10 bridge and refuse to work and stay in bluetooth mode when attached to the console if pin 10 is grounded. Here's a nice little solution to that; 10k (0805) resistor between pins 10 and 7 is the fix.

So get with the program, do JoyCon bending right, or don't do it at all!

(BTW, I tried the embed a tweet, but it told me invalid URL)

Or just use a reed switch like I did lol

This is all so confusing. We seem to be rapidly rotating between recommended methods - what's the best for someone who has no idea how to solder?

A jig

Jigs suck unless you make them yourself. I ordered 2 from eBay and neither of them work. I have to keep using my copper wire until I solder something.

Fair enough - would it be just as good to hold a paperclip and stick it onto pins 1 and 10 (much easier to carry around)

I gave up worrying about the best and just use what works without fail. No matter what we recommend ppl always tend to bring the cons of what you use. Auto rcm is the only way out of this mess

....you know autoRCM can effectively brick your console right

Personally, I'm going to wait for a non-jig method to load homebrew.

 

[M7L7NK7]

Why haven't they updated to do the same thing if it detects 1 and 10? That would ruin all the jigs if you updated

Well its either that or i potentially break my rail off with a mini screwdriver....

I mean.....I'd be careful with that, it's SHOCKINGLY easy for the brick to happen.

but ofcourse we must be careful using anything until there's a legitimate solution handmade tools isn't the way either, but its what we have

I'd rather carry around a jig with me then have to avoid letting my battery hit 0% with the consequence being basically a full brick.

mmmkay thats nice, but im not using auto rcm sooo..

Then why did you bring up autoRCM as "the only way out of this mess"???

That ended up not being true. Even if your battery completely dies with AutoRCM installed, you will still be able to trickle charge it enough to re-enter RCM and load a payload.

AutoRCM is generally safe.

b/c putting foreign objects in the switch damages it in some form or manner is why I brought up software rcm, are we not in the same thread?

Really? Can i get a source on that?
