Picofly work with only SP1

[linkref]

Hi,

I've got a switch v1 with missing sp2 cap.
I wanted to try if a picofly could work with only sp1 and guess what it worked.

I use a V1 CPU flex with the new chips (hwfly rp2040)

Is there any caveats with that ?
Someone told me that this can cause over heating, is that true ?

Thanks

If i remember correctly, Erista unit (V1 & Patched V1) only require one mosfet and therefore, should work even with only one cap soldered. I tried it two times and worked well, the only potential issue i could see is in case you did a cold joint and it stop making contact but you should be fine if it's soldered correctly

The thing is... It work with only one mosfet even with switch lite so basically mariko

Guess i've stumbled on 2 Lite units that weren't in the mood for one sole mosfet then x)

Have you tried to use the alternate install location on the back of the board?
These only require one mosfet for all boars revisions.
