I use and adaptor that came with the micro SD.

The brand it's Kingston Canvas Select Plus.

I'm 99% sure that's not Micro SD fault, because I can get into UMS mode and see the SD card on the PC with USB C on the switch.

I can play with the GPP partitions and the Boot0 and Boot1 too.

I try with exFat and FAT32 too.
Hmm try a different sd card and windows or Mac?

Hi guys,

Installing the picofly I burned the CMD resistor in my OLED switch.
I read in other post that the resistor that is sitting on the CMD point is 4k7 ohm and the one beside that is 47k ohm, both 0201 size.
Can you confirm the value and the size?

I want to confirm before order them.

Thanks and regards

I thought they were 47 thx. But did you add a “second” resistor to fix slow emmc error?
These resistors usually have a 10% margin of error plus some resistance over the wire itself that changes with length, so 45 and 47 are close enough to make no difference.

Check resistors and solder points

I have slow glitching Pico too. The resistors are not shorted and the diode readings for those points are in range but the CPU point 15 on the Pico measures 1.119 v which I think is too high as I've heard it should be around 0.500. Do you have any idea what could cause the high reading on CPU point on the Picofly?

Those resistors are holding on for dear life. Check diode readings on all points and report back with values
