Picofly AIO Thread

[Keremq]

Hi, gonna get my local guy to install the picofly on my v2 switch this Saturday. He told me that he ran out of v2 flex cables but it was still possible for a v1 flex cable to be used with an RP2040 zero. Is there anyone who can confirm it, can he legitimately install it with a v1 hwfly flex cable?

CAN be done, but won't be a standard install with the cable. He's likely to solder wires to the pins on the flex cable and run them to the caps on the APU.

That's exactly the same as with hwfly.

Is there a link to an updated guide?

Exactly, I tried that way but it make no easier than just solder the mosfet on to cap instead of using incompatible flex

how to set "RGB mode" jumper? which pin points should i connect? i get green led when i paste the uf2

Well, you were quite close to finding that info, it's nearby the phrase that you quoted, under the Images --> solder points. Short the two pins on the back and you should be good. Happened the same with my Waveshare Pico.

where is 3v3 in lite?

 

[sims2island]

L'ho creato e pubblicato su Discord e ho pensato che alcune persone potrebbero trarne vantaggio anche qui.
Questa configurazione esatta funziona per me su un mariko v2.

This is a Pikofly AIO Thread/Tutorial.
This information has been pulled from other threads and forums on this site, I haven't done anything except compile it in this one thread.
All credit goes to those who worked on all the relevant information and stuff.

First things First; I not not endorse piracy and those who released the firmware don't either so this is for home-brew use only.

DOING THIS MODIFCATION TO YOUR SWITCH MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMGE. I RECOMMEND YOU HAVE THIS DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER

DISCLAIMER! Me nor any of the other temp members who helped make this happen will be held liable to any damage you cause your console in attempting to mod it. Professional installation is recommended for this mod.

Just because a mod is cheap doesn't mean it's easy. - Trust me I learnt the hard way - Adran 2023

Do you mean 0805 smd resistors because I can’t find 8050 resistors anywhere ?

Also how does one set RGB mode jumper?

yes he means 0805 resistors

ceck the first page of the thread there are images from the rpzero wher u set a bridge for the rgb mode .-)

Can I still use 2512 SMD resistors ?

Post automatically merged: Apr 6, 2023

Also to set the jumper do I just have to solder a wire between the two points?

 

[Dee87]

well i mean if they have the same value sure but there pretty huge i would guess ?

the 0805 are smaller so everythign fits in the switch better

Yea I accidentally ordered the wrong ones

well like i said if they are the same value u can use them but for the end install i would probally order another set befor u put everything back together to save some space

 

[impeeza]

Dime guy is using normal three band color resistors they look HUGE

Yes sir, look a lot bigger than 0805 resistor lol

more edits/update will be in the next few days. For now I sleep

Might wanna change the resistor type

Today at 4:20 PM


now we know why
