Hacking Battery free m0 trinket?

[link42586]

Title...Would that be possible like the SX dongle does it? Just Hook up A few capacitors to it to hold charge?

Yes.

Really...do u know which pins u would need to use to do this? Or even how?

I'm unsure if an m0 Trinket being used with caps to load a payload has been achieved, but there was someone who managed to put the trinket inside the switch and hooked it up to the power and data lines in the switch, this is essentially like a coldboot exploit so he can just turn the console on and it boots into CFW.

bat pad for the positive and gnd pad for the negative.

Yeah i'm well aware of this and am very close to doing it myself if my brother ever gets A trinket of his own...So how would u recharge the capacitors? would hooking the trinket back up to the usb port do the trick? I know they have big capacitors that are 2.7v so would u need two to run the dongle and keep A decent enough charge? Because unhooking the battery is going to get on my nerves over time I can see that. I just find it hard to believe it's that easy and I haven't seen this yet. But hopefully we will I think it would be cool. Doubt I'll be the one to do it. But who knows if it's that easy..Wonder if I could take apart something old and snatch up one to try it out.

just get yourself one of these coin cell breakout boards, solder the bat pad to the sw point , and gnd pad to gnd point has a switch to turn off, so the battery should last a long time, once battery is dead then simply replace, no more getting on your nerves.

Yes, it would be possible to use super capacitors like TX.

No, you cannot do this with capacitors - you need super capacitors.

I'm not sure how far the SX Pro dongle has been reverse engineered (if at all) but if you came up with 2.7v from looking at TX's images of the SX Pro I wouldn't trust it to actually be 2.7v. I could be wrong but TX don't want to make it THAT easy for people to copy their work.

it'll probably be 2.7 to 3.2 wouldn't really matter about what they say.

you can actually install the sx pro dongle into the switch, remove the usb ports solder the data wires to mobo points, then positive and negative to the power points on the mobo and boom no more carrying a dongle.

The cheap 3d images showed 2.7v 500F but in real life..those things are huge at least the ones i looked up...but the dongle doesn't seem to be anywhere near that big...but check out the 3d image they released of it..says right on the side of the capacitor. I'm not that into capacitors but I haven't seen any 2.7v 500F that are that size. I'm not really sure why they went ahead and labeled them in the 3d pic unless that was what was pitched to them u know.

has 2 of them you can wire a 3.2 battery to it and it'll work.

They have images of it ripped apart yet? I know I read that if u take it apart u will have to destroy the case of it to do so. Might explain why alot of images aren't all over by now.
