RP2040 Tiny Clone (NO LED Debug Light)

[supertaco]

Hi, i bought about 20 RP2040 Tiny from Ali. They were cheap. I wasn't aware that clones existed. So. The led is totally off. I'm programming them with 2.75, so, i've read on some forum that if i remove the resistor near to the led, the led its going to work. So, i did it with one of them, and voila. The light it's on. Even for programming.

So. I have one doubt. Doing this have a side effect? Negative side effect? Can damage the console? Does anyone known this solution??

So, any comment about this subject are very kindly appreciated.

Thanks.

Shouldn't have a problem. That's what I've been doing with the clones from a batch I bought.

Thank you for your reply. I think that this is a problem with a very few answers on the internet.

That's just the pull up resistor for the LED, if removing it works then there is no other side effect. And good to know too

Thanks!! I'm confident now!
