so from what i lerned today, i can assume that the front mount mosfet is AWG wire dependent. Im no expert but not beeing able to glitch is a mosfet problem right?So here is summary of my experiments so far:
-two transistors, one back and one front, no SDA and SCL: glitch
-two transistors, one back and one front, SDA and SCL: glitch
-one transistor on back, SDA and SCL: glitch
-one transistor on back, SDA and SCL: no glitch
-one transistor on front, no SDA and SCL: no glitch
-one transistor on front, SDA and SCL: no glitch
Those were all with the XIAO board, so assuming it needed a second transistor I installed the Waveshare board back and all I got was blinking blue light for few minutes ending with 3 shot yellow blinks 3 times. I believe this means it ran out of attempts.
Back to the XIAO board, but this time I removed the USB port, shield and buttons in preparation for permanent install and what do you know, now the XIAO board is not glitching either. It behaves just like the Waveshere did. What the hell.
Does the heat from disordering the unnecessary parts messes up those board somehow, they seem to be functional?
Post automatically merged:
In the past i had 10+ consoles with front mosfet installs,40 awg on everything.
But when i changed batch of mosfets,it stopped working for me so i stopped doing it.
Today i did for the first time an OLED(reball) and gave front mosfet install another chance since i also bought some new 30 awg wire.
I can say with happines that single front mosfet install worked for me again with 30 awg wire.
Im going to return to front mosfet installs. I feel like this is a very nieche thing to do and it saves me dealing with thermal paste ,opening that GOD DAMN APU CAGE and having to solder on 0201(or 0608? idk) capacitors X_X .
