Update to 2.67

in this case, then I will have to open the console and resolder the usb.. because it does not enter hekate, it already starts on this screen

Welp RIP the spare. Contacts ripped off. :/

Finally sat down and finished this

Worked first try thanks to amazing guides created here. I'm using dual MOSFETs. Looking forward to getting my hands on an OLED and doing it on that.

very nice
looks clean

@rehius (or if anyone else knows), what components NEED to be left on the PZero for glitching? I know we can remove the port and regulator to make it thinner, but what about cutting the chip and\or moving components around, to make the whole package smaller? I have successfully cut it down before but now I'm wondering just how far I can take it.View attachment 367792View attachment 367793

@rehius ypu know something about tegraexplorer systemrestore script not working with picofly? I try it and give error on backup boot0 or on atire boot0, when i put hwfly all works fine. My point is as issue on pico fw or payload/script need update?

Btw Thank you so much for awesome work!

it works, i tested it , you probably have slow Emmc

So yess i have another problem. I soldered everything wirh two mosfets and pico still blinks cyan after startning. I missed something?

Mosfet cable is to long

So I left the console overnight after getting it working reliably yesterday. Today I turned it on and the 2040 still does blue, then a green flash and then off, but now the console only boots into OFW, seems like the glitch is failing and the 2040 doesn't know. Any steps before I'm forced to open it up again and see if anything physical went wrong?

Check the soldering on 1st cap.
Shorten all the cables that go to mosfet
Solder the S point from mosfet to the shield (only use capacitors for Drain, so only the inner side)

Thanks everyone for your help

Here’s a installation that I do a few days ago on a oled

 

[jv_233]

I’ve installed so far 10-12 picos and I did one on a oled yesterday. Switch glitches fine and works but I’ve noticed 1 out of 30-40 glitches (I test my installs a lot lol) it won’t power on after pressing the power button. I would have to hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to fully power down and then it works fine. Checked all wires, clean flux, etc. not sure what might be causing this weird random no power but again it happens very rarely. Not sure if anyone has come across something like this?

Looks neat, i like it.
Just be careful with those exposed rp2040 contacts close to heatsink

man i love the and they said pico dont fy pic

I went back over and checked all of the connections with a multimeter and it looked good. I've attached a video of it booting. The only thing I can think of now is to replace the 2040 with another running 2.67. The one that's currently in the switch is 2.65 but can't update it now because it won't boot the payload.

man and what about the cpu mosfets

They look good as well. The joints are good and I tested what I could with multimeter, some of the joints are under uv mask.

 

[AceCuba]

mmm test the value of the resistors ,se the size of your cables data clock etc

What is the latest tutorial for completing this installation?

I am looking for a guide that has the same layout as this one right here(I know its for the trinket):

https://gbatemp.net/threads/interna...ybitsy-m0-express-guide-files-support.508068/

the AIO thread has the latest guide and information linked in it
