    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Yeah - I pottered with that thought too - double sided (with mosfet on board etc) but ultimately decided that single sided was better in this instance rather than smaller. fly2040 DS experiment:

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Looks awesome @QuiTim ! You've inspired me to practice and give it at go at some point. In the meantime first I have to see if I can replace a MAX77812 on a lite (first device I tried to mod) as I'm pretty sure that's why I have a BSOD/partial boot/no DRAM on that one. (All the others since...

    fly2040 - picofly variant with LEDS & Atmosphere-NX apps

    Updates: Release v1.0.0 is now on git. A small batch of boards have been assembled and are available. (Though anyone can create if they want). Some flex cables and leds are also available.

    Hacking Hardware McFly - an RP2040 board compatible with Picofly

    FYI/FWIW & for those that have been following my posts... I've created a related thread for my fly2040 variant - as it has slightly modified firmware and has Atmosphere support (sysmodule & homebrew app). Thought I'd share here as it's picofly based and picofly compatible (with extras)...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    @rehius Is the picofly toolbox derived from the hwfly toolbox? Are you planning to release the source code for this also? I've come across an issue while trying to do an update - it seems the picofly toolbox has limited the update.bin size to less than 64Kb (it seems the "other" toolbox allows...

    Personally I'd check soldering... Perhaps a reset line issue or a 3v3 line issue. Make sure that it's a good connection, that all flux has been cleaned (IPA) and there's no shorts.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    So... Managed to get i2c comms working through Hekate. Hardware and firmware proven working. ScriesM & CTCaer are helping me (a lot) to get i2c working from Atmosphere.

    Install went well... Glitches perfectly & boots as expected. Now battling getting I2C to send from Atmosphere. We'll see what the dev experts say :)

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Sharing some progress on my WIP for picofly RGB bling... I'm planning to do a test install this weekend and will share some videos of the installed version once done. Once fully tested I'll be putting everything up on git. kicad RP2040 board + flex led strip (1010 RGBs - 1mm square). sysmodule...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Nice to hear that someone is able to make use of my update to ums-loader. :) For me - a DRAM check proved pointless - I started tinkering with other payloads to see if I could get the keys for my broken lite and any time I tried to do anything with DRAM it crashed - so I concluded it wasn't...

    Hacking Hardware McFly - an RP2040 board compatible with Picofly

    That'll totally work - you don't even need the capacitors (there's enough on the board). I just put the ldo in the USB cable... 5V & GND to 3.3V output. 1688591313 There's a button on the board (boot) to force flashing mode (similar to other rp2040) boards. But with un programmed boards all you...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    50mA is for sum of all IO pins: "Maximum Total IOVDD current IOVDD_MAX 50 mA Sum of all current being sourced by GPIO and QSPI pins" Depending on setting it should be limited to 12mA per pin. Sure - you can pull more current from an IO - but it's beyond spec... it may be fine in the short term -...
