Hardware I have 4 questions about installing Picofly

[DawnWorkout]

Hello, friends !

I have 4 questions

1. I am planning to purchase Cpuplex cable V2. I checked that this cable is applied to Oled. Is it also available for the Lite version and Mariko? I'm looking for a cable that can be used for all models.

2. Is there a replacement for the Dat0 adapter on the Oled model? This is too expensive at $10 per unit in my city.

3. I've seen two fitted on some models if I'm using a MOSFET, not a Cpu cable. What is the reason? I've seen 1 MOSFET job all along. I'm confused

4. If I stick the MOSFET to the bottom of the pcb, do I use the uv solder mask? Is it resin?

I look forward to hearing from you
Thank you.

no cpu cable can be used for all models. V1 and VV2 use diff cables for instance

1) All CPU cables work. But you might need to do some jiggry pokery.
2) Well theirs two other ways. One is super destructive so I won't even bother. The other is sadly to get a wire in to the dat0, it's not easy. The ankors are the easiest method.
3) Some Switches need more power, so they use 2 mosfets. Seem to be the norm? However only used when not using a cable
4) Soldermask is soldermask. You can use Kaptone tape if you so wish.

What a kind person and a good manual!
Thank you very much for your explanation.
May I ask you one more question?
I'd like to apply silicone glue to the point solder in the normal hwfly installation. Others also use nail polish or solder masks. What is your recommended tool?
