Picofly AIO Thread

Here s are two pics of the front, in the back i Just soldered on the pad that i saw on the guide. I hope this can help to find a solution

Did you put exta ws2812 LED next to the OG led on back side?

I didnt. I dont saw anything bout It on the guide, i ll take another look at It. Thanks

then sure you won;t have it work. If you only put DIN pin to the OG S-lite LED, it won't do anything since that LED only do blue light and it's not even a RGB LED. I think the guide should mention either you move the rp2040 led to the back next to OG LED or you buy and put extra ws2812b LED to get this mod work

Thats the reply i was looking for. Thanks now i understand everything.

I've installed a picofly in a v2 switch, but when I tried turning it on, the battery is dead... I get blue, then 2 yellows, a long pause, then two more yellows. Does that mean it is a problem with reset or could it just be because the battery is low?
And is it safe to charge without all the heat sinks and the sd daughterboard?

read important post link or second link in my sig there u have a morse code list where u can decrypt the morse code. that will tell u what the issue is. and its not just 2 yellow lights u have long and short

sure u can charge

It's 2 short, then long pause before another 2 short. My confusion is that there is no code for 4 short, so I assume it's just repeating 2 short but I'm not certain.
(edit): I plan on testing the continuity between rst on the board and rst on the pico. The other possible issue is that I used the rst on the emmc daughterboard, so if it still doesn't work after charging and continuity test, I'll try and solder to the rst on the motherboard (it'll be a pain because it's right between two capacitors, that's why I used the rst on the emmc board).

well then u need to look for the code issue what * * means

** RST is not connected so check ur soldering

maybe uploading picture might help

oh, I was working on an edit when you posted. Edit says everything important I can think of, and thank you for the help!

(it'll be a pain because it's right between two capacitors, that's why I used the rst on the emmc board).

The diode left pad and 1st resistor right pad are all rst point since they all inter connected. I would feel more happy than pain to connect rst point in such area.

 

[Misstborn]

Got the rst connected like jkyoho said! It's now giving a "no glitch reaction" error. I'm using an hwfly cable, is there anything I can do to check or improve the functionality?

add some pics of ur install

and check ur mosfet install

 

[Misstborn]

Here's some images of the install outside of the cpu, I'm going to wait a bit before looking in the cpu to give it time to cool down. (also I know it's really messy, I'm going to clean it all up once it's working.) (edit: partially related, do y'all have any advice for cleaning that copper pad up some?)

 

[Dee87]

clean up ur solder make sure the enameld wires isnt touching anything else it seem ur cpu is laying on 2 solder spots if that couting is damaged that might be ur issue otherwise show some pics from ur mosfet install

 

[jkyoho]

Show your dat0 on emmc end, touch up on the CLK 47R0 resistor end.

Here's the cable. I know it's really messy, I'm going to try and fix that with a toothbrush and maybe some q-tips.
I haven't cleaned up the solder points yet, but I'm going to wait on that since the issue seems to be with the cpu, as I don't get error codes for the connections to any of the other points.

Only just saw this, here's the emmc connection. As for touch up on the resistors, do you mean all of them or specifically dat0? and what exactly do you mean by touch up?

your not serious are u?????

How do u think that flex cable is gonna work when u havent even soldered the flex cable to the caps ahahahaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I mean this one. Touch up means you need to make a better soldering either adding flux or new solder to get solid connection to that resistor end. And you have to do something on the sp1 sp2 cap soldering LMAO

I was wondering about that... I couldn't find any guides on using a flex cable so I just put it on lol

Speaking of not having a guide- which points do I even solder?

what u mean not having a guide? check my sig there is a guid pluse u did some how find out how to solder the rp2040 in correct? so u shouldve found a guide.....
