Picofly AIO Thread

Ah i see.
Even total 200 as of today is fascinating.

hahaha no guys i'm not a machine 200 in total since i start modding (i lost the count actually, 200 is a general number to say a lot)
on picofly i'm more sure of the number (more or less are 40) and just to be clear... only 2 went in purple screen (so is little number) but happen... i don't have an explaination... i want to find the reason... what can i say so far is that is not connected to the hardware

I'm still doing mine. I have a terrible time with the double MOSFET. Literally chasing them around the blue mat. lol. But I believe I got it now. just waiting for the uv mask to cure.

set them next to the apu and put uv mask on the side then they wont run away Xd

i will definitely remember that lol

lets se a pic of the solder

apu and pico

and you lost money my friend...
because if you've read what i wrote i've also the same issue with the new HwFly Rp2040 (so there can't be issue with soldering)

but to give to you final proof :
- rp2040 Purple screen
- i mount HWFLY (problem fixed)
- i install another FRESH RP2040 (with new set of resitor) : Purple screen
- i re-mounth HWFLY (problem fixed)

so if we want to "hide" the problem... for me it's ok... but it's unfair to say that picofly firmware don't have problem...
just i want to make anyone aware that "can happen" this problem

i've install at today something like 200 mods chip... (on 40 picofly install) only with 2 picofly i've this problem... but happen... and there is no "apparently" reason so far... i'm more than happy to provide any further information

The board you use is rp2040-zero from waveshare?

Sorry about the solder mask.

Sorry about the solder mask.

for what the Long wires?
shorten them set the mosfets next to the apu
like the pics in the aio thread

The long wires because i couldn't get them to stay next to one another. I did this before you mentioned about the solder mask by the apu. will give it a try

the wires are to long this could be ur issue

 

[BlueBeans]

makes sense but how are you getting them to stay next to one another and not running all around? Where are you putting the solder mask? On the bottom?

position the mosfets like they are in the picture the top one first , add uvmask to the top and right cure it , then set the bottum one add mask to the bottum and right side and cure it, then solder to it

Use a toothpick and place a small dot of mask on the switch motherboard next to the APU and then set your MOSFET down on it and cure it. Repeat the process for the second one right next to it.

curing the first one now

kinda like that , the cpu wire isnt normally tinned that much its just tinned where i needs to be this is just because of the testing i did earlier

Ahhh, I see someone else hitting both CPU pads with one single wire ;P

why should i use 2 wires if one works and fast glitching :-)
if it glitches to slow u can use 0.2wire helps a bit with glitching time

well look at that ....... so now u know the wires where to long :-) i would set the mosfets a bit further down then the wires can be even shorter set it so where the ground pad of the mosfets are , are at the same hight as the apu ground pad :-)
see my pic for reference

Will do. Have an OLED to do as well. Glad I was able to get all this knowledge from a V1 and didn’t have to do all the trial and error on an OLED lol

So now my question is is why won’t the single mosfet work? When I’m theory it should only take one right?
