Added a "straps 101" to the OP. Might help.Break it down more. Explain what A strap is. Explain what A trinket m0 is and what your using it for. Explain what all of this is from A standpoint of someone just randomly stumbling over the page for whatever reason. Like maybe adding one of those things that breakdown certain words that someone who has no idea what any of this means can start understanding what this is for. Idk just A thought as I didn't know what A strap is or what the purpose of it was. But thx for your work as I will for sure be using this in the near future.
Okay. My trinket m0 came in and I plan to do 4-wire and AutoRCM. I flashed using just the trinket/rebug Simple-UF2 and the trinket still comes up as TRINKETBOOT when I plug it back in. Is this correct? Only the Switchboot one (which I don't need for the 4-wire, I believe) would change the name of the drive?
As a secondary question, if I plan to only do the 4-wire, is there any harm to using Switchboot+Simple-UF2? Because if it doesn't hurt anything, you honestly might want to just simplify the instructions and tell everyone to just install both. I know you're working to make this as simple as possible.
Yeah. Do it. All the SWITCHBOOT does is operate the straps. Can add it later. No rush to do it now.Okay, I'll consider adding that strap.
But is there any reason not to flash Switchboot right now? I'm saying if there's no harm, I'll just do it anyway and you might want to just simplify the instructions to just tell everyone to use both Switchboot and Simple-UF2.
OK Sir. Consider it done.Okay, cool. Thanks.
And I really would recommend that you update the first post to just tell everyone to do Switchboot + Simple-UF2. I know that you're trying to get out as much information as possible, but we're all dumber than you about this subject. More information may be bad. We don't need to know everything. It would simplify and greatly shorten the main post if you just don't bother to explain the reason and instead just say to use both.
I'm not a complete idiot and I still took a while to understand whether I would need Switchboot. If it doesn't hurt anything anyway...
I like more information, and advanced stuff. Can you either move it to another post or hide it in a spoiler or something? Instead of just deleting valuable info?OK Sir. Consider it done.
Added a TL;DR section near the topI like more information, and advanced stuff. Can you either move it to another post or hide it in a spoiler or something? Instead of just deleting valuable info?
I was afraid I would do that too. I ended up leaving it on, and stripping down a Male connector and soldering the wires from it.The good news: flashing the chip was easy and it only cost me $12 to buy.
The bad news: I torched the crap out of the chip with a heat gun trying to get the USB port off of it. I ended up pulling the pads off entirely, so this project is bust for now. I actually think I could have soldered it in place had I been able to prepare the chip, but that isn't relevant now.

Here's a good example of what not to do.

When all I was looking for was the dongle stuff. Maybe have A small section breaking down just the dongle stuff.
