Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[binkinator]

Seeing HWFLY going for just over $50 on Ali. Avg around $64.
Search for “2040 zero” brings up nothing but HWFLY chips.
Can’t find a 2040 zero on Amazon for < $10.
Coincidence?

$3.33 + $3.36 shipping is the best deal I can find so far…

Thank you! Ali’s got the goods (Ama was 10.58/ea!)

Will anyone consider pico fits better than zero when port is removed? My guess pico has nothing on other side so that could minimize the thickness

Marikos came in the red box, are in oleds and lite

Waaaait a minute. I always thought I had a Mariko Switch but...
If this one below is my box, does that simply mean that I have a patched Erista? I'm mindblown at how I could be oblivious to that

Check your serial number (in System Settings) to be sure. https://ismyswitchpatched.com/

Already checked a long time ago (and also a very short time ago to be sure) but it just says that it's patched for sure. That's why I was certain that my unit was a Mariko all along

so someone posted a youtube video using piko ?

 

[No_Firmware]

So is there any solution that can fit rp2040 in switch without cutting off the type-c ?

 

[OMAR1982]

u can use 1206 they are fine other users also posted a pic with them using them , but 0805 should be better since they are a little smaller

No

Anyway you guys can make a new thread with all the install tuts and files as the first post. That way u can update the main post whenever. Also helps cut down the 100+ pages .

Also people should add the resistors on the board on the right trace lines.

If it's still not done I'll do it after work
