Could we please also have a firmware version for Seeedunio XIAO RP2040 as well?

It is a little bit smaller than RP2040-zero(21x17.5 mm vs 23.5x18 mm).
Also all SMD components are on the front side of XIAO, making its back side pretty flat.

The firmware for ZERO can't be used for XIAO because:
1. the RGB LED is wired to GP16 on ZERO but GP12 on XIAO.
2. GP15 (CPU) is not wired on XIAO.

There is an uf2 build for seeduino Xiao under fusee suite from Mattytrog.

It has nothing to do with pikofly.
Now we still need to wait.

Well Picofly also use uf2 like Trinket m0.

What you are talking about is for unpatched v1.
It has nothing to do with it at all.

When its good and ready. The guy is working on it in his free time. Asking won't make it happen any faster

In case anyone is wondering V2 flex cable working fine in an oled. As it should since it lines up the same and uses same mosfets.

They are the same fets in the same capacitor positions, just uses different routing for the connector for different chip placement. But all mariko apu is the same with same caps so one could bulk order one type and use it for all.

For the noobs, oled, v2, lite flex ribbons should all work

Ok, added into plans for v2.6, but it will be a single fw compatible with both of them

The modchip Picofly V1 is 20€ on taobao and the chip Hwfly v6 Oled is 13€.
And it looks like they added an increased current protection chip (to avoid burning the motherboard),
Picofly V1
Hwfly V6 oled

is not found on aliexpress?

Non ha nulla a che fare con il valore.
Sono solo le dimensioni.

Devi installare Atmosphere, Hekate..... su SD
E se sei in fw 15.0.1, ecco cosa ti serve:
Pacchetto 15.0.1
installare

Thank you for answering me. But should I install Atmo and Hekate together or are they different?. Current console firmware is 16.01 ( recently updated)

Just a quick question, is everyone using microscopes to solder? Is there something cheap I can use? Seen mixed thoughts on them magnifying headband things

I managed to install it with a magnifying glass and used the microscope of my phone for checking the soldering (it needs to be really close, so I can't use it while I solder).

 

[Dee87]

atleast most of us are using microscope for microsoldering otherwise its hard to see anything , magnifiying headband things never used them but if they magnifiy enough it should work i guess

You need both of them, plus some additional files. There are alot of guides on how to do that (a couple of them in this thread aswell).
Just google "switch homebrew" and you will have all ypur answers because this precedure is the same whichever modchip you use.

I Installed my first one with my camera phone and it was pain in the a**
If you plan on ever doing any smd solderin in the future get a microscope (it does not have to be high end)
