Picofly AIO Thread

Its an interesting take to make a universal flex but thinking more about it seems unnecessary because all consoles except v1 is different which already comes in an unpatched variant. Also depending on the size of those slots you got those wrong for V1. The addition of the stiffener is also completely unnecessary that would drive the price up.

i based it off the leaked pcb files. the first batch was more for poc than actual use. it should fit fine as it isnt going all around the soc and needing to have holes for the other caps. comparing the actual cables is what gave me this idea in the first place. trying to keep the manufacturing cost low so it may end up with something that just sits next to the soc. the stiffener i marked off so those who want it can have it. it doesnt have to be made with it.

still waiting for the pcbs. but the mosfets came in

The backside cpu point version?

The backside cpu point version?

no. the orig ones. the order was more to check fit. if the fit is good i will fix anything needing to be fixed and then order the latest version. if that is good then the files will go to my github. i might sell some pre made ones. but it all depends on cost, if it is still gonna cost close to $10 per cable, i'll just stick with the modchips instead of switching to using rp2040 tiny

, if it is still gonna cost close to $10 per cable,

what quantity is that?

when i was trying to get them made on jlcpcb, i had to set the quantity fairly high to make it less than 10 each. but oshpark makes nice cheap pcbs, and with the stencil and some solder paste it wont take long to assemble them. i think it was like $3ish for the 3 i ordered, so a buck a board. the mosfets are cheap as fuck and same goes for the resistors.
