Hacking Question can you make a jig out of an oem replacement rail?

[DocKlokMan]

You can make replacement rail a jig. This is my jig and injector 2 in 1.
Jig from modded rail, pin 1 connected to pin 10
Injector by Trinket M0 powered by a super cap
The supercap can be charged from the rail. If you connect pin 3 to pin 5, Switch will output 5V on pin 4.

Now that's great info! I was wondering if the rail's power could be used or not. So if i have the right, you bridged pads 3 and 5 to activate the power pin, then also bridged 10 and 7 to enter RCM, then hooked pad 4 to the super capacitor?

Tinfoil? No, you break out the soldering iron, some solder and you bridge that sucker. Use a small wire if you're worried about clearing the distance from pad 10 to pad 1, 2, or 7.

I don't have one and I was thinking of using pin9

Then it sounds like you were unprepared. Also, pin 9 is not a ground pin. It will likely still work, but may stop working in the future or cause occasional problems as pin 9 is not guaranteed to be pulled low all the time. In general, there's a reason we stopped using pin 9 a long time ago.

I don't think I have any wires lying around unfortunately , is it possible any other way? without soldering?

I have some wires,anything I can do with those?

Yeah, do this:

The only reason people 3D print rigs, or solder rails or joycon pins, is to have a stable rig that will hit the correct pins 100% of the time.

If you're just gonna use tinfoil, or use wires without soldering them, you're no better off just directly using the foil/wire, because the point of having a 100% reliable 100% stable RCM jig is completely lost with that.

If I had a spare joycon rail, I'd personally go to a cellphone/laptop repair shop kind of place, and ask them if they would solder a wire connecting pin 1 and 10 for a few bucks.

its very easy to do a "jig" with this product, you just need to solder a wire in the pins 1 and 10.

I can't solder though .-.

can I have a picture of pad 1 and 10 please?

You should learn. You can pick up the basics on YouTube these days and pick up an entry level soldering iron for next to nothing in the UK.

It's a super useful skill for anybody who is interested in gaming hardware, computers or electronics to have and this would be a good intro project.

I want to convince for AutoRCM. Where can I start from?

Learning English should be job one. We won't be able to understand what you're asking otherwise.

As you can see, I can speak English. But maybe you didnt get the my idea.

No, your post didn't make sense. That was the problem. If you do actually understand English then go back and read it and you'll see what I mean.

My point is if you install AutoRCM, you wont need a jig anymore, thats it. You can use tinfoil jig on first time (making very very easy) and done.

Could anyone please provide a picture where you have to solder pin 1 and 10 exactly? I'd like to purchase a right rail and give it to somebody who can solder.
