RGB Backlight

[sleek narwhal]

oh thats true then you dont need a wire

it isnt that far away

also do you recommend using the old method that uses the second gpio pin i really dont use the gpio pins so much and that i dont have a nrf24

[bronze flame]

I can not recommend using pin 2, as further firmware will be released only to control the backlight through the vibration motor line

[sleek narwhal]

ah fuck it Vibro it is

[drowsy pine]

negative polarizer.

[bronze flame]

I asked Flipper Police to send a photo of the connection, but he didn't 😦

[sleek narwhal]

oh yea he fucked something up yesterday in call and none of the pcbs were working on any of hes flippers

im not sure what happened after

he left when it didnt work

[bronze flame]

@dawn hazel tell me what is the problem now

[small crown]

rip

[sleek narwhal]

yep irn not sure how he is rn but rip i think he ripped his original backlight

[bronze flame]

I hope he did not spoil the plastic and the backlight reflector? If the original PCB is broken, then there is no problem.

[dawn hazel]

I just need to mess with it a little bit more, i had to leave home for a bit. Ill send an install video Wednesday when im home again

I ran out of working capacitors and the rgb boards are not working, not a big problem. ( i hope thats the issue)

[dusk karma]

I will be installing mine on the weekend so ill lyk how that goes and will send a pic of the connection if needed

just busy with college rn so gotta wait until the weekend

[dawn hazel]

Ill run home and grab a pic of the connection @bronze flame

[upbeat lantern]

Both pads are the same, so there's no difference

[sleek narwhal]

Oh well that’s a relief

[sleek narwhal]

works now?

[dawn hazel]

No

[upbeat lantern]

To be honest, backlight works without capacitors fine

[upbeat lantern]

What's wrong with your flipp? Do you have multimetr to check the power?

[dawn hazel]

Whenever i am back home ill fix em both, it just might take a bit

[bronze flame]

I confirm, I assembled the backlight without capacitors

[bronze flame]

Tag me if you need help. Let's try to restore the flipper

[dawn hazel]

They should be ok.

[bronze flame]

I have tried exporting the patch in several ways. This turned out to be a problem - patches are not applied to unofficial firmware due to incompatibility in the code. You will have to transfer all changes manually

[dawn hazel]

On the previous versions of the code i just used git format-patch HEAD~"numberofcommits"..HEAD to generate multiple patches based on your changes. It worked just fine for every fw i tried it on. But i havent done it for the new update yet

[bronze flame]

I haven't tried doing it this way. I think that in this case, not only my commits, but also the commits of the official developers will get into the patch. This will lead to merge conflicts.

Now I tried to make a patch based on the differences between the main branch and the rgb branch. Then only my changes get into the patch. So far, when merging with another firmware, errors are obtained. I'll try to fix the patch manually, maybe I'll succeed

[dawn hazel]

So when using the git format-patch HEAD~"numberofcommits"..HEAD cmd you can only apply the commits you want, it says the name of the commit in the title

This way i could only select your commits

[bronze flame]

Now to manually search for your commits? No I won't do that

[dawn hazel]

Hehe

[sleek narwhal]

lol it’s tbh not that hard to transfer files manually

[bronze flame]

Yes. I just don't want to do it by hand. I am for automation

[dawn hazel]

Sasquach's rgb boards made it fine!

[dusk karma]

W

[sleek narwhal]

Has he tried it yet?

[dusk karma]

no hes waiting until he gets a backup

[royal lodge]

Is anyone selling the bare PCBs for this RGB mod?

[upbeat lantern]

I'm sending them for free, @dawn hazel is trying to sell

[royal lodge]

😯 sending PM, hah

[dawn hazel]

im only selling for $15, with free shipping

Usa is only 3 - 5 day shipping

shipping costs are almost $15 lol

i make like a dollar

[dawn hazel]

you just want the pcb? no leds or capacitors?

[small crown]

Jlpcb was pretty fast with shipping my boards. If you're just buying the boards with nothing done I don't know why you wouldn't just use them.

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame @upbeat lantern if you are available to help and try and fix this flipper id love the assistance

[dawn hazel]

Fixed it

[dawn hazel]

60 more leds coming

[upbeat lantern]

That was 2 am for me. I was sleeping 😀

What was wrong?

[bronze flame]

Good morning

[dawn hazel]

how should i pass the wire under the screen cable

[upbeat lantern]

There's a gap between the backlight pcb and the black frame. You need to pass the wire to the middle of screen, and then you'll be able to pass it under the screen flat cable

[upbeat lantern]

It should be something like this

[sleek narwhal]

how long did it take for other people to receive the pcb from you?

[upbeat lantern]

I started sending recently, and no boards reached any of the receipents yet

[sleek narwhal]

oh nice i hope im the first

[upbeat lantern]

Israel post isn't that fast as I wnat it to be. Here's the movements of the fisrt letter with pcb

[sleek narwhal]

oh

have you tried dhl or idk

is there even dhl in Israel?

[upbeat lantern]

I can try, but there's not chances it will cost $7 to send=)

[sleek narwhal]

(by is there i mean can you send)

[upbeat lantern]

Yep, we have DHL, UPS and all the delivery services, but they are quite expensive. For US it's worth to buy a PCB from @dawn hazel

[sleek narwhal]

oh yes but im in sweden so thats why i thought it would be better to buy from you

[upbeat lantern]

Let's see

[sleek narwhal]

i mean i didnt know where you are from from the start but i kinda guessed that your not from the US

[upbeat lantern]

🙂

[sleek narwhal]

hey you and Quenon should make a tindie page or something

might be easier for other people to buy

[upbeat lantern]

I'm not aiming to make a business out of that, I'm just sending leftovers that I don't need anymore, as both of my flippers have the custom backlight

And I don't think there's a huge demand on this mod

[sleek narwhal]

oh well thats a generous thing to do

[upbeat lantern]

Few enthusiasts will install this backlight for sure, but not that many to try make business out of it

[sleek narwhal]

how many leftovers do you have

[upbeat lantern]

Going to send the last assembled pcb on Sunday, but can assemble 5-10 more

[sleek narwhal]

i mean the flipper is growing more and more every day so if i was as brilliant and you i would definitely make a business out of it but i completely respect what you are doing

[upbeat lantern]

@dawn hazel is trying, let's see what it will lead to

[sleek narwhal]

yea @dawn hazel hmu if you want to make a website or something lmao or a tindie page will do

[upbeat lantern]

The most brilliant guy here is Quenon, as there's nothing hard to draw a simple PCB, but you should know C and figure out with flipper firmware and hardware to make it work.
So all credits to Quenon=)

[sleek narwhal]

oh yea that most be not that easy at all i know a decent amount of C but i would never figure out how to make something like that

[bronze flame]

At first I thought that everything would be very simple, but then I discovered many subtle points that I had to solve

[dawn hazel]

Im a website dev lol

[sleek narwhal]

ooooo didnt knew this

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame Im going to compile all the commits you made into one single commit, is there anything that i can just leave out?

[bronze flame]

Don't know

[dawn hazel]

bruh

[dusk karma]

Do I also solder to the Vibro connection for the cfw?

[dusk karma]

@dawn hazel you got any tips on getting this stupid screen off

[frozen nebula]

Hammer

[dusk karma]

i swear its got no solder on it but wont come out

[dawn hazel]

yeah, cut the posts still sticking out

[dusk karma]

I tried the are cut as far as could be and it’s like stuck or something

[dawn hazel]

use a guitar pick under the backlight to pry it away from the main pcb

make sure you have a big glob of solder on the contack to make sure its all melted

[dusk karma]

thats a good idea

got it

[dawn hazel]

❤️

[bronze flame]

Yes, if you use my fork/patch from my fork

[dusk karma]

I’m very confused to be honest the backlight has continuity it’s soldered to the vibro also the other short one but it still wont work

[bronze flame]

Show what where and how soldered

Did you assemble the backlight board yourself?

[dusk karma]

yes but i checked with a multimeter and its assembled right

[bronze flame]

oh my god

desolder it please

this

So you spoil the display control or NFC

[dusk karma]

i swear i read it was supposed to be connected to top and bottem but luckly i havent turned it on since it was only connected to the bottem

[bronze flame]

OK. Take a photo after you fix the soldering

[dawn hazel]

That is how xxut did it

[dusk karma]

thats why i did it that way

[bronze flame]

Nope

[dusk karma]

pprob just looked like it cause its hard to tell due to size

[bronze flame]

Omg, he really did. sorry

[dusk karma]

So I’m not crazy for doing top and bottom

[dawn hazel]

@lime tinsel could you pin this in this proj thread

[bronze flame]

Well done for noticing that you only need to connect to the bottom

[bronze flame]

Better it https://github.com/quen0n/flipperzero-firmware-rgb

This is the original source of information

[dawn hazel]

Why? I have that linked in my repo. My repo has all the guides and info there

I dont have my own patched firmware there anymore

Mine will also have the video instal guides on there

1/2 videos there allready

[bronze flame]

My repositories are always up-to-date

[dawn hazel]

Mine auto updates to yours lol, and i have pre compiled version

Its legit linked

[dawn hazel]

Does it work now?

[dusk karma]

Checking

[bronze flame]

Okay, you can try to turn on the device. Have you already flashed the RGB firmware?

[dusk karma]

yeah

[bronze flame]

Then you can just connect the USB. The backlight should be orange

[sleek narwhal]

do you use flux?

[lime tinsel]

done!

[dawn hazel]

Tysm!

[bronze flame]

facepalm

[lime tinsel]

what?

[dusk karma]

yeah thats why its semi glossy

[bronze flame]

Read a few messages below after his request

[sleek narwhal]

shit wrong reply

[dusk karma]

Does not work and if it was the backlight there wouldn’t be continuity

[dusk karma]

Right?

[lime tinsel]

I'm not getting into the middle of this, so both are pinned. you all can figure out which is better if needed.

[dawn hazel]

[bronze flame]

Thanks a lot

[dusk karma]

well i got to go ill figure it out tmr must be the backlight somhow

[bronze flame]

I can not understand how the backlight works now. Can you send a video of the flipper?

[dusk karma]

It doesn’t work there is just continuity

[dawn hazel]

Did you assemble your own backlight?

[dusk karma]

Yeah I’ve also checked all the solder multiple times and it looks good

[dawn hazel]

Did you orient the leds the correct way?

[bronze flame]

What do you mean by continuity?

[dawn hazel]

You can reference the backlight assembly video in my github

[dusk karma]

If I put my multi meter on each side there is continuity between those points

Hard to tell thats they way they are facing

[dawn hazel]

Correct orientation ^

[dusk karma]

Yeah they are the right way

[dawn hazel]

Then everything should be working

[dusk karma]

Yeah that’s why I’m confused all well I’ll figure it out tmr

[dawn hazel]

Sounds good!

[bronze flame]

You won't get a constantly changing signal. The control signal passes only when the backlight is turned on / off or its color changes.

If I understand correctly, after turning on the power, the backlight does not turn on?

[dusk karma]

Yeah im just saying it should be soldered fine because electricity can flow through the backlight

[bronze flame]

Ok, have you turned on the flipper yet?

[dawn hazel]

Almost 1200 msgs here

[dusk karma]

I was out but yeah nothing gonna build another backlight maybe it’s the pcb

[bronze flame]

I can't understand your English...

Now you have everything assembled, but when you connect the USB, the backlight does not light up, right?

[dusk karma]

correct

[bronze flame]

Okay, then just connect the USB flipper to the computer and install the firmware

https://lab.flipper.net/?url=https://cloud.quenon.ru/RGB-FW/ofw/flipper-z-f7-update-RGB-release-latest.tgz&channel=RGB&version=OWF-RGB-latest

[dusk karma]

im going to make a new backlight i think the one i made first doesn't work

[bronze flame]

Try updating the firmware first

[dusk karma]

ok its updating right now

nothing happened i will make a new back light and let you know if that works

[dusk karma]

i feel like it should be working

[dawn hazel]

Those led joints look VERY briged

And the front capacitor doesnt look like its soldered on both ends

[dusk karma]

meant to send this one

[dusk karma]

that one was hella bridged didnt even used it just used it as a test piece when i got my soldering iron

[dawn hazel]

The board looks ok

It should work fine then

[upbeat lantern]

I'd recommend testing the PCB before soldering

With Arduino or esp or even with a flipper, but without soldering

[dawn hazel]

You mean test the pcb before install?

How do you recommend doing that?

[upbeat lantern]

Connect PCB to Arduino with any RGB-led sketch for example

My "QC" setup

[dawn hazel]

60more leds coming tmr

Will start making more boards wednesday

[sleek narwhal]

Are those thing magnetic?

[upbeat lantern]

No, just mechanical

[dawn hazel]

Hey @drowsy pine how did your hot plate method go?

[drowsy pine]

Haven’t had the time yet.

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame did you ever get the auto updating patch files working?

[bronze flame]

Not yet

[vale peak]

anyone know how difficult it would be for me to try and change the backlight if i have no experience in soldiering

[bronze flame]

Very hard

[dawn hazel]

could you help me diagnose my flipper?

it is no longe responding to any power

it will not turn on

[bronze flame]

Ok, 10 mins

[bronze flame]

do you have a usb to uart adapter?

[dawn hazel]

no

[bronze flame]

Another flipper?

[dawn hazel]

yeah

[bronze flame]

Great. We will use him to usb-uart converter

[dawn hazel]

sweet

do you want to join vc

[bronze flame]

Go

[exotic quest]

Using a Flipper to diagnose a Flipper. Amazing.

[frozen nebula]

y'know, imma use this convo next time someone questions why you need more than one Flipper

[dawn hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pft1CI5ikA4

[sleek narwhal]

@dawn hazel I'd buy one, preassemled

[dawn hazel]

sweet!

i need to assemble a bunch

[regal isle]

same

[dawn hazel]

shoot me a dm if you want one!

[frozen nebula]

[regal isle]

will be doing that rn

[dawn hazel]

@cursive violet

[sleek narwhal]

I got my pcb today!

Gonna install it when I get back home from vacation

[civic wasp]

ifixit should have a guide

[sleek narwhal]

Finally a update

[sleek narwhal]

@upbeat lantern what’s the point of the second pcb you sent me with no leds on it?

[upbeat lantern]

Just in case if the assembled one will be damaged during the shipment

You can try to assemble it, give to someone else, or just throw away

[sleek narwhal]

Thanks I was just wondering

I don’t have a air rework station so I’m not gonna use it

[sleek narwhal]

I’ll pay you for the pcbs shipping in a few hours

[sleek narwhal]

@dawn hazel @upbeat lantern in any chance do you guys still have the original backlight pcb if you do could you please send me a pic of it next to the rgb pcb?

[sleek narwhal]

Thanks!

[sleek narwhal]

The wire is needed to change the rgb colors which is why you connect it gpio A7 right?

Why A7 and not any others?

[bronze flame]

No no no no

[bronze flame]

Vibro testpad

[bronze flame]

At the development stage, the first convenient contact was chosen, but then it was replaced with a vibration motor testpad

[upbeat lantern]

The article is a bit outdated, I'll update it soon

You need to use vibro testpad

[sleek narwhal]

Okay

[sleek narwhal]

What’s the difference between the two?

[upbeat lantern]

Done, the guide updated

[sleek narwhal]

Is it better?

[upbeat lantern]

The benefit of using vibro line is that you don't need to sacrifice one of GPIO pins. Vibro and backlight can share the same line not interfering with each other

[sleek narwhal]

I get it now

[sleek narwhal]

You should put that in the guide

[upbeat lantern]

k

[sleek narwhal]

With 2 does the wire have to hit both the squares?

@bronze flame

[upbeat lantern]

No, you can connect only to one

Doesn't matter, it's the same ground

[sleek narwhal]

So any of the four work @misty laurel?

[upbeat lantern]

Nope

There're only two of them

Look closer

[sleek narwhal]

I could send pics when mine arrives

[sleek narwhal]

Oh nvm

[sleek narwhal]

The other 2 are for different functions

I see 4 squares

1 2
34

[sleek narwhal]

I am still confused about the 2nd pin in this pictures are both 2on the right the same or only bottom right one?

[upbeat lantern]

Look

You just need to connect negative contact of backlight to ground

It's not that important where to, choose whatever you want

[sleek narwhal]

No i mean this

[upbeat lantern]

They are both the same

There's no difference if you connect to only one of them or to both of them

[sleek narwhal]

Oh ok i thought that @bronze flame said i should use bottom right one

iirc

[sleek narwhal]

@upbeat lantern is the screen glued down or just soldered down?

[upbeat lantern]

The screen itself glued, but the backlight pcb is soldered

[sleek narwhal]

So I just need to get to the backlit pcb

Which is soldered and I can’t remove the glue

[upbeat lantern]

You need to unsolder pcb first, then just pull the screen

[sleek narwhal]

Okay

And is the .patch file updated?

[bronze flame]

No, there are no updated patches yet. You can just install the firmware

https://lab.flipper.net/?url=https://cloud.quenon.ru/RGB-FW/ofw/flipper-z-f7-update-RGB-release-latest.tgz&channel=RGB&version=OWF-RGB-latest

[sleek narwhal]

okay

ill get started on modding my f0 in a few minutes

it died so i need to let it charge a bit

[sleek narwhal]

ill install this now

then rgb-ify it

or should i after?

[bronze flame]

Don't care

[dawn hazel]

oh and not sure if ya saw my rgb backlight install video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pft1CI5ikA4

[sleek narwhal]

i did

[dawn hazel]

sweet!

[sleek narwhal]

i also liked + subbed

[dawn hazel]

should help a bit

❤️

[sleek narwhal]

okay time to see if i can do this

[dawn hazel]

good luck!

let us know if you need any help

[sleek narwhal]

sure thing

[sleek narwhal]

@upbeat lantern ah yes. A great sign

[upbeat lantern]

You're a mighty person)

[sleek narwhal]

The i button fell off when I opened it

Oh well it’s not like I’ll ever use it

[sleek narwhal]

@modern moss history is repeating itself

[modern moss]

OH NO

[modern moss]

clearly he should hire you to solder them back on

[sleek narwhal]

Yes i good at solder

I has orginize

@bronze flame @upbeat lantern another question would the mod work with normal firmwares?

[upbeat lantern]

M?

Your screen won't be backlighted

But apart from this — everything will work fine

[sleek narwhal]

Ah ok

Then a patch file would be really helpful

[bronze flame]

Creating a patch is not a problem. The problem is that the patch simply won't work with other firmware because they are different

[sleek narwhal]

Should I use soldering paste?

[upbeat lantern]

You can, but you shouldn't

[sleek narwhal]

Alright thanks

[upbeat lantern]

I mean it's not mandatory, but there's no restrictions on soldering paste

[sleek narwhal]

Ahh

Ok thanks

[bronze flame]

What firmware do you want to apply the patch to?

[sleek narwhal]

My own firmware that is based on Clara crazy’s

@bronze flame

[bronze flame]

Clara is based on RM, you need to transfer changes manually

I can send a patch, but it probably won't work

[sleek narwhal]

I could try

I couldn’t unsolder both they would cool down before I could pull the board out

Do you have a solder sucker?

Maybe

Use that

Okay let me try

[sleek narwhal]

We don’t

Oof

Then idk

@bronze flame

Is the lcd flexible enough for me to pull one side out at a time?

@upbeat lantern

You could take out the lcd first i think

[sleek narwhal]

@sleek narwhal im gonna try a different soldering iron and see what happens

[dawn hazel]

Yeah, ill send you a dm once i get s patch working

Im not home rn though

[sleek narwhal]

Did not work

I’m gonna buy a solder sucker

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame, could you build a patch for your changes to ofw?

Just the commits that are important to the rgb functionality

[bronze flame]

not now, later

[dawn hazel]

Just @dawn hazel me when you have it

[upbeat lantern]

If you go to the hardware store, take a piece of copper wick as well

https://www.amazon.com/Solder-Desolder-Copper-Braid-Approx/dp/B00KQ6YUHC

I think I might need to add a soldering guide to the article:)

[dusk karma]

I feel like it will just put false hope into people

[sleek narwhal]

It’s coming today so I can finish.

And I already have some here

[sleek narwhal]

@bronze flame any tips on removing the lcd form the main board?

Or @upbeat lantern?

[upbeat lantern]

Remove tin from backlight pcb contacts and pull the screen

There's some glue between the mainboard and the screen

You may try to put something thin in between

But be careful with knives, you can damage the reflector film

[sleek narwhal]

Okay I’ve gotten to here

[upbeat lantern]

Still a lot of tin on the contacts

Use copper wick to clean everything up

[sleek narwhal]

thanks

How much more do I need gone?

[upbeat lantern]

To be able to pull the backlight pcb

You need to remove the tin between the main board and backlight pcb contacts completely

[sleek narwhal]

Oh

Alright

[upbeat lantern]

A lot of flux and a copper wick should do the job in a minute

[sleek narwhal]

I don’t know where the copper wire went

[upbeat lantern]

Another option is to heat a contact and pull the screen, then heat another one and pull the other side of the screen. But that way you can damage the original PCB and you still need to clean holes to be able to put new backlight

[sleek narwhal]

But I’ll need to remove the glue first right?

[upbeat lantern]

It's kinda simultaneous process

You can apply a bit of force and remove the screen without backlight pcb, and the deal with backlight, but you have to be extremely careful and I'd not recommend this way

[sleek narwhal]

So how should I remove all the tin without copper wire?

[exotic quest]

Solder sucker, copper wick, desoldering pump station.

[sleek narwhal]

I have a solder sucker

But it’s not sucking up the solder when I melt it

And I don’t have any copper wick

But I need more gone to be able to take it out

[dawn hazel]

You need to have all the solder off the contacts

Then cut the contacts off

Then re tin one pad

Then slide a guitar pick between the lcd and the main pcb

Then hold your soldering iron to the tinned pad

Then push down on the pick

Repeat until the display is off

[sleek narwhal]

I’ve been using a small flat screwdriver

[dawn hazel]

NO

that will destroy the traces on the main pcb

I wouldnt be surprised if you alr destroyed your flipper

Please take our advice, everyone that has been telling you what to do has done this mod multiple times

[sleek narwhal]

Okay

Please follow these guides

And again, no one here is liable for the damages you may cause to your flipper, proceed at your own risk.

[sleek narwhal]

I just turned it on it works

[upbeat lantern]

https://youtu.be/yCjq7pVKd60

The first related video from YouTube

[sleek narwhal]

I don’t even have a guitar pic

[dawn hazel]

It doesnt have to be a guitar pick, i use ifixit pry picks

Just something thin and plastic

[sleek narwhal]

okay

[dawn hazel]

Even a really thin credit card might work

[sleek narwhal]

I don’t have a thin credit card

[dawn hazel]

https://www.ifixit.com/products/prying-and-opening-tool-assortment

[sleek narwhal]

How long does it take for ifixit to ship?

[dawn hazel]

My shipping times will be diff than yours, ive only ordered via my commercial account. It should say your shipping time at checkout

[sleek narwhal]

Okay

[dawn hazel]

If you have like a walmart or a music store nearby they should have guitar picks

[sleek narwhal]

None nearby

[dawn hazel]

You are aware this is not really a beginner project right?

[sleek narwhal]

About an hour away for Walmart and hobby lobby is the only place I can think of that would have the pics

[dawn hazel]

Do you have any electrical tape?

[sleek narwhal]

Yes

[dawn hazel]

Ok, cut a square about the size of a quarter, then put the tape on your flat head screwdriver

Then send a pic

[sleek narwhal]

I’m not home

At robotics rn

[sleek narwhal]

I’ll do that when I get home

[sleek narwhal]

i am pretty sure this means its arrived

[sleek narwhal]

yep its here ill pick it up after school

@upbeat lantern thanks!

[upbeat lantern]

Nice

[sleek narwhal]

@upbeat lantern

Thank you so much!

[upbeat lantern]

YW)

That's just spare parts. In case if the assembled pcb damaged by postal service

[sleek narwhal]

ah thanks i was wondering why you sent two

[upbeat lantern]

And you can practice with backlight assembling

[sleek narwhal]

[bronze flame]

О, подорожник

[sleek narwhal]

Huh

[frozen nebula]

Cooked bananas

[sleek narwhal]

That is pretty random

[frozen nebula]

Idfk, ask the dude who said it

[sleek narwhal]

Ahhh

I thought you just randomly said it

[upbeat lantern]

That was safety packaging

[upbeat lantern]

There's a chance it's still working

[bronze flame]

It should work 100%, because you put plantain 😉

[upbeat lantern]

:))

[frozen nebula]

I stfg plantain is just cooked bananas

[sleek narwhal]

Ok lets be honest it’s actually really easy to install a pre soldered one

Again @upbeat lantern @bronze flame thank you so much for making this possible

Oh my fucking god after assembling it i forgot something

[upbeat lantern]

Lol

[sleek narwhal]

Hell yeaa

[upbeat lantern]

100% cringe. I like it!

[sleek narwhal]

[upbeat lantern]

That was a compliment

[sleek narwhal]

Oh

[sleek narwhal]

Thanks then

[dawn hazel]

Which pad did you solder the control wire to?

[sleek narwhal]

Vibro

[dawn hazel]

What patch are you using for the fw?

[sleek narwhal]

No patch yet i moved files

I hope there will be a patch soon

[dawn hazel]

Ohhh ok

Il build the patch when i get home

[sleek narwhal]

For the vibro pad?

[dawn hazel]

I alr built one for the gpio pin

[sleek narwhal]

Omg thx that would help alot

[dawn hazel]

I just need to compile a bunch of commits

Into one patch

[dusk karma]

Yeah I’m my opinion if you have a pre built pcb you need like 0 past knowledge to replace it

[frozen nebula]

Try me

[dusk karma]

I believe you can

I have faith in you

[frozen nebula]

I've already fucked it up

[dusk karma]

HOW...

[dawn hazel]

BRUH

[dawn hazel]

Thats not true lol, if it was then could a 6 yo do it?

[dusk karma]

Ok I was being sarcastic but I think if I gave it to a friend who never soldered before as long as they know how it works it works I think they could

[dawn hazel]

OH SHIT

[dusk karma]

How?

[dawn hazel]

I wouldnt try tho lmao

[dusk karma]

Stripped screw?

[dawn hazel]

WHY

thats your fault

[dusk karma]

I had a stripped screw and had to do that on mine

But I was careful

[dawn hazel]

Just use a ph 00 bit and a rubber band

[frozen nebula]

Didn't work

[dawn hazel]

Worked like a charm for me

[dusk karma]

Nah mine was a solid circle

[frozen nebula]

Same

[dusk karma]

Ngl the one problem with flipper is they are cheap screws

[dawn hazel]

Jesus yall fuckin up your flippers

[frozen nebula]

And my front and back case are destroyed

[dawn hazel]

😭

[frozen nebula]

Maybe I can get someone in #1063534201497989140 To sell me one

[dusk karma]

Nah mines fine because I use to extract screws in construction all the time so I know how without even messing with the thread

Would sometimes happens on fans and stuff where if you mess up it’s like $350

See screw hole still intact

[sleek narwhal]

Hey i mean i broke the original backlight while doing this but that shouldn’t be a problem

[dusk karma]

How that happen?

[sleek narwhal]

Was trying to take it out and broke the feet still works but this was the only mistake i made

[dusk karma]

Yeah that’s not bad

[sleek narwhal]

@bronze flame is this when the GPIO pin was updated to the Vibro testpad?

[bronze flame]

🤷

[dawn hazel]

Whenever i get to my pc ill build the patch

[sleek narwhal]

[dusk karma]

@upbeat lantern thanks it made it completely fine

[sleek narwhal]

@azure crow

You can ask questions here people here have more knowledge then me

[azure crow]

ty 🙂

[dawn hazel]

new flipper displays are different

@upbeat lantern @bronze flame

[upbeat lantern]

Like completely different?

[dawn hazel]

the pcbs do not fit

capacitor on the front

[upbeat lantern]

Just unsolder it

It's not that important

[dawn hazel]

the solder jump will not fit

and led placement is wrong

[upbeat lantern]

Well if you send me some pictures I can try to redraw the new version

[dawn hazel]

New pcb on top

[sleek narwhal]

Wtf the flipper is updated?

[dawn hazel]

Yeah

New lcd

[sleek narwhal]

Whats the difference

[dawn hazel]

@dusty gull

[sleek narwhal]

Could you send a pic of the new lcd?

[dawn hazel]

@swift inlet any insight

[upbeat lantern]

Can you insert the pcb without LEDs and capacitors?

[dawn hazel]

Like a bare pcb

[upbeat lantern]

Yep

[dawn hazel]

Yea

[upbeat lantern]

And the back side please

[dawn hazel]

New backlight pcb that came in flipper has nothing on the back

Any staff know smth about this?

I need to get this flipper shipped

So i might have to modify display

@balmy totem

@swift inlet Is there a advantage to either

Like between R04 (01) and R04 (01)

[sleek narwhal]

ngl it looks like a offbrand flipper lmao

[upbeat lantern]

So basically it just needs to move LEDs a bit and flip one capacitor to the back side

[dawn hazel]

Yeah

The leds need to move different ways tho

Is there models of both lcd versions?

i dont have my calipers to measure

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame whenever i have the rgb board installed the flipper will not turn on

only when i have this soldered

[bronze flame]

Show me how you soldered it

[dawn hazel]

i soldered it only to the bottom

it is not jumping to anything

i am going to try another gnd

does not work

any idea why?

[sleek narwhal]

Is that the other flipper?

[bronze flame]

Send a photo of what you did

[dawn hazel]

The other gnd shown in the guide did not work either

[bronze flame]

You may have a power short

Measure the resistance between the display backlight leads

And between the ground with the testpad of the vibration motor

[dawn hazel]

i fixed itt

thank you

[bronze flame]

What was the problem?

[dawn hazel]

the capacitor was jumped

i removed jumper

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame

[dusk karma]

Success

[dawn hazel]

sweet!

[sleek narwhal]

@dawn hazel I bought a guitar pick

[dawn hazel]

sweet

now follow the video

i cant help tn

[dusk karma]

if you have any questions and wanna do it tn just @ me

[sleek narwhal]

Okay

[dawn hazel]

i am available to help

[dusk karma]

Also this is what worked good for me instead of removing all of the solder for the screen I left a decent about on so it melts all the way around and just go from side to side moving it out more and more

[sleek narwhal]

did you cut the end?

[dusk karma]

Yeah it makes it a little easier if you wanna do that

[sleek narwhal]

will it work after i cut it?

[dusk karma]

Depends how much you cut off

[sleek narwhal]

alright

[dusk karma]

Aslong as their is still the pad for solder to touch then it’ll work but if you plan on using it after I would not attempt cutting it

[sleek narwhal]

okay

[dawn hazel]

I remove all the solder so i have enough room to cut the old backlight contacts off

Then i add a little bit of solder back to the pads, heat up the solder then push my guitar pick in between the lcd and the main pcb

@sleek narwhal do you have the model number of your flipper? It should be on the box

[sleek narwhal]

i honestly have no idea where i put the box

[sleek narwhal]

why do you put some back?

[dawn hazel]

So i can melt everything, solder sucker leaves some solder

[sleek narwhal]

yeah

[dusk karma]

You just need to make sure you have enough solder on it so that it is all one joint that way it melts all around it cause if you have gaps it will still be welded

[dawn hazel]

@sleek narwhalhttps://github.com/Z3BRO/Flipper-Zero-RBG-Backlight/blob/main/Firmware%20Patches/RGB-FW.patch

compiles without any issues on squachware

[sleek narwhal]

THANKS

[dawn hazel]

im compiling on dexv0 rn

it seems like it wont compile due to an animation issue

@sleek narwhal

[sleek narwhal]

yea dexv0 dev is fucked

[dawn hazel]

oh

smh

[sleek narwhal]

try the other one

[dawn hazel]

420?

or main

[sleek narwhal]

dev

or wdym

[dawn hazel]

i was on dev branch

ohhhh you mean the other fw

[sleek narwhal]

yea

[dawn hazel]

it built fine on main branch

um

it built xtrem? not dexv0

lmfao

[sleek narwhal]

Huh

Just updated with your path but it doesn’t work

[dawn hazel]

what fw?

[sleek narwhal]

Dexvmaster0

[dawn hazel]

dexv0 or dexmaster

[sleek narwhal]

Dexvmaster

[dawn hazel]

hang on im installing rn

works fine for me

@bronze flame how do you have your firmwares auto update?

can you show me how to replicate what you have done

[bronze flame]

I started a Raspberry Pi server that pulls updates with Git and builds the firmware

[thorn creek]

Well this certainly looks like something I’m going to have to try.

[sleek narwhal]

Would GitHub workflows work..?

[bronze flame]

No, I don't plan to

[dawn hazel]

@dusty gull could we get the dimensions of the Flipper Zero R04 (02)'s backlight? or a pcb file would be even better.

[bronze flame]

I do not remember the revision of my display, but maybe the dimensions of my backlight board will help you

[dawn hazel]

That is the R04 (01) backlight, but thank you! These should help

[sleek narwhal]

cool!

[sleek narwhal]

@upbeat lantern what rgb sketch do you use?

[upbeat lantern]

m?

[sleek narwhal]

for like testing the pcb's

[upbeat lantern]

any from neopixel library

[sleek narwhal]

ok thanks

[dawn hazel]

@sleek narwhal i can show you my testing rig

[sleek narwhal]

sure

[dawn hazel]

I just use a flipper and the original fw that uses pin a7

Then power the board off of 5v and gnd

[sleek narwhal]

yea that works too

[sleek narwhal]

could you give me the patch or the update for the old method?

[dawn hazel]

Sure! Not at my laptop rn but i will

[sleek narwhal]

okk

[frozen nebula]

@sullen shuttle

[sullen shuttle]

ty!

[sleek narwhal]

@upbeat lantern @bronze flame i need help

I dropped it and now this has happened

[upbeat lantern]

Looks like bad contact. You can try to re-solder the board, or replace the middle led

[sleek narwhal]

Yea im desoldering it now

Also does it need to be the rfid charger or can it be any ground?

[sleek narwhal]

Just resoldered and its all alright @upbeat lantern

[frozen nebula]

@safe stone

[tame geyser]

anyone willing to ship the parts to EU

@frozen nebula

[frozen nebula]

I don't wanna flood it

[dawn hazel]

I am

[frozen nebula]

I am now part of the RGB family

[solemn saddle]

@dawn hazel would you be willing to sell/ship one to Canada?

[dawn hazel]

yep!

[frozen nebula]

I have raised the popularity of this project

[exotic quest]

Kinda funny the OP of the thread took this long to get it done lol

[frozen nebula]

You're a bitch

[exotic quest]

You are what you eat.

[frozen nebula]

I do eat bitches

[dawn hazel]

Thank you, i can eat now.

[frozen nebula]

good

[dawn hazel]

Just tested patch file on new firmware updates, everything still works!

[sleek narwhal]

can i hab

[dawn hazel]

is on github

but there u go

https://github.com/Z3BRO/Flipper-Zero-RBG-Backlight/tree/main/Firmware Patches/RGB FW FILES

[dawn hazel]

just the files

https://github.com/Z3BRO/Flipper-Zero-RBG-Backlight/blob/main/Firmware Patches/RGB-FW.patch

[dawn hazel]

Patch file

[sleek narwhal]

@dawn hazel @upbeat lantern

Any luck on one of these flippers?

[dawn hazel]

Yep! those work great!

[sleek narwhal]

Okay it was a newer model so I wanted to make sure that it would work

[harsh kite]

How much would this mod come if I had nothing to work from at the start

[exotic quest]

Do you have any soldering skills?

[frozen nebula]

Price wise?

Assume $15 for shipping of the board and $20 for a cheap soldering iron plus solder. You will also need a guitar pick and a longer PH00 screwdriver. If you plan to do more projects like this in the future you can invest in the Minnow bit driver kit from iFixit (~$25.)

[harsh kite]

So around 50$ hmm I’m kinda a newbie at tech so 😭 idk if ima mess it up but ima try it after making some money

[frozen nebula]

Just make sure to be careful and use the right tools from the start

That's the most important part

[harsh kite]

Wait wdym

[dawn hazel]

I would NOT recommend starting out on a project like this, if you have no previous experience with soldering i would not be surprised if you destroyed your flipper. We are all willing to help but please do proceed at your own risk. (No one here is responsible if you flipper is damaged in any way during or after attempting the mod)

[harsh kite]

Oh alr what could I do for a starter then

[dawn hazel]

yeah, don't use a shitty screwdriver and some pliers

[harsh kite]

Bro ima be honest idk what either of those tools are is that a drill maybe? Idk 😭

[harsh kite]

What should I use then

[frozen nebula]

Yea no... Do something else as a first project. Not to be rude. But like you will genuinely murder your Flipper.

[dawn hazel]

https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/make-your-uno-kit?selectedStore=us havent had a chance to grab one of these, but they seem like a good starter soldering project

[frozen nebula]

You don't need to grab one

[dawn hazel]

I mean, it looks fun

[dawn hazel]

@harsh kite if you can build one of these and it works without any issues, you should be able to do the mod

[harsh kite]

😭☠️

[harsh kite]

Hmm alr

I’ll give it a shot 😭

[frozen nebula]

I mean-

Technically I've soldered before

[dawn hazel]

Good luck brother

[frozen nebula]

But my soldering is shit

[dusk karma]

mine to but i did the mod just fine

[dawn hazel]

@wraith yoke

[wraith yoke]

Oh hi

[dawn hazel]

hi there!

[wraith yoke]

I'll look into this :3

Although I'd not want this to be my first solder job at all. Probably gonna get a dev board and try some other stuff out.

[dawn hazel]

let us know if you need help with anything!

[sleek narwhal]

I’m gonna actually do the mod tomorrow

[dawn hazel]

Good luck!

Have you built your pcb yet?

[sleek narwhal]

Got one from @upbeat lantern

[dawn hazel]

Ah ok

[sleek narwhal]

I haven’t had anytime to do it bc of robotics

And karate

[dawn hazel]

Well, i wish you the best of luck!

[sleek narwhal]

Thanks I know I got this

[dawn hazel]

Feel free to ask if you need some help, someone should be able to help ya

[sleek narwhal]

The only question I really have is what’s the best way to cut the contacts off

[dawn hazel]

What do you mean?

[sleek narwhal]

Cutting the contacts off the PCB

[dawn hazel]

The old backlight pcb?

[sleek narwhal]

Yes

[dawn hazel]

I just used some little snips

[sleek narwhal]

Oh okay

Thanks

[sleek narwhal]

How far down do you think I could get and still have the original pcb work?

That’s the last question, I promise

[frozen nebula]

You guys cut the contacts?

I shoved a knife under the LCD and pried while applying the soldering iron

[sleek narwhal]

That worked?

[frozen nebula]

DONT USE A KNIFE

DONT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE

[sleek narwhal]

I have a guitar pick

[frozen nebula]

Use that

[sleek narwhal]

I may be dumb, but at least I’m not that dumb

[frozen nebula]

[dawn hazel]

That works, it just takes a fuck ton longer. And i have absolutely no clue how you didnt destroy your flipper, its a miracle it turns on.

And PLEASE DO NOT USE A METAL PRY TOOL ON YOUR FLIPPER, IF YOU DO EVERYONE HERE WILL MAKE FUN OF YOUR STUPID MISTAKE. WE HAVE WARNED YOU

[frozen nebula]

Everyone minus me

I have no rights to make fun of anyone

[dawn hazel]

I am bestowing the rights upon you

"Stupid should hurt" - my w teacher

[frozen nebula]

Why thanks

I mean

I did hurt myself a lot that night I was doing the mod

[dawn hazel]

It works tho

[dawn hazel]

If anyone else did what you have done, it 100% wouldve killed their flipper. You are so fucking luck with everything.

[frozen nebula]

I'm just that skilled

[dawn hazel]

Whatever you gotta say to yourself

[sleek narwhal]

I used a screw driver to take apart the flipper zero once

[frozen nebula]

I think everyone has

[dawn hazel]

So has everyone else

[sleek narwhal]

I, luckily, didn’t ruin any traces

[frozen nebula]

But like as a pry tool...

[sleek narwhal]

No I mean, fully take it apart

[frozen nebula]

That's something special

[sleek narwhal]

Bc I don’t have a guitar pick at the time

[dawn hazel]

So did i? You dont need a pry tool to disassemble the flipper lol. Just use your hands

[frozen nebula]

That's what knives are for

[sleek narwhal]

I almost forced a screwdriver under the LCD

[frozen nebula]

I did force a screwdriver under the LCD

I have you beat in every section

[sleek narwhal]

You are mentally unstable

[dawn hazel]

I have completely lost faith in your ability to do the mod, i shal pray for your flipper.

[frozen nebula]

I couldn't tell

[dawn hazel]

/hj

[sleek narwhal]

Dw I have a plastic guitar pic now. Rest assured

[sleek narwhal]

did you not break anything?

[dawn hazel]

No, he broke many things

[dawn hazel]

I thought you fixed it?

[sleek narwhal]

well that makes sense

[frozen nebula]

How do you expect me to fix that?

[sleek narwhal]

A crippled zero

[dawn hazel]

With a soldering iron, and some skill

[frozen nebula]

The antenna snapped

[sleek narwhal]

does it even work now?

[dawn hazel]

No, it looks like you just ripped the pads off the board

[frozen nebula]

What do you think?

[sleek narwhal]

no

[frozen nebula]

Nah sadly that isn't the case

[sleek narwhal]

well I’m sorry about your loss

[dawn hazel]

Just build an external cc1101

[frozen nebula]

And I'm sorry for your stable mental stability

[sleek narwhal]

😞

It’s too stable 😭

[dawn hazel]

Just packaged an rgb board for a firmware dev!!!

[sleek narwhal]

Nice

[warped vapor]

Will the gerber files for the PCB on the telegraph tutorial page work for all FlipperZero's? This is the version I have according to the box (FLP-Z-W-R02)

[dawn hazel]

The rgb backlight pcb was designed for the RO4 (01) model flipper, RO2 is a pretty old version. Not 100% sure if the current design will work.

@dusty gull, were the only difference between RO2 and RO4 frequency restrictions?

[dusty gull]

Yep! Should be

[dawn hazel]

Thank you!

[sleek narwhal]

Dumb

[frozen nebula]

Dumb

[dawn hazel]

Yep! It should work just fine.

[dawn hazel]

Could you send dimensions of the RO4 (02) lcd? so i can make a pcb for it.

[exotic quest]

Is there a difference between the LCDs? BOM says the PCB is 93mmx70mm and the screen itself 71mmx39mm.

[dawn hazel]

The lcds are they same, but the led placement for backlights are different

[exotic quest]

Those numbers should be correct then for the screen itself. Unless octopart is wrong.

[dusk karma]

Me too I almost ended up in your situation I used a really powerful drill and a new bit for a stripped screw went off to the side and hit the antenna luckily it when through the gaps

[frozen nebula]

See but I actually destroyed stuff with my drilling 😎

[sleek narwhal]

I like breaking stuff

[dusk karma]

I dont

[sleek narwhal]

Same

[sleek narwhal]

I think I broke my flipper zero

When I take it off the charger it instantly shuts off

I’m gonna have to check all the connections

turns out there was no power to main board

[frozen nebula]

Yea no, thats an easy fix

[sleek narwhal]

it was I forgot to plug it back in after lol

[dawn hazel]

except when you fried your bms chip

make sure to not break that

not an easy fix

[sleek narwhal]

don’t you just have to solder in a new one?

[dawn hazel]

It sounds easy doesnt it

[sleek narwhal]

Hot

[sleek narwhal]

@sleek narwhal I can’t get the lcd off the flipper

I cut the contacts and got most of the tin off them

@dusk karma

[dawn hazel]

Did you watch my tutorial video?

[sleek narwhal]

Yes

Multiple times

[dawn hazel]

Add more solder to the contacts

[frozen nebula]

Shove a guitar pick between the LCD and PCB and pry while touching the tip of the soldering iron to the the contacts

[dawn hazel]

Then use a guitar pick to pry while heating up a contact

[sleek narwhal]

okay

[frozen nebula]

Alternate between the contacts

[sleek narwhal]

Why do I have to?

[dawn hazel]

Because it allows you to heat up all the solder that is still on the pcb

[sleek narwhal]

Could I not just push down on one contact and put the guitar pick under and wiggle it?

[dawn hazel]

It doesnt work very well

We are telling you what works, listen to us

All of us have done this many more times than you have

[sleek narwhal]

Okay

[frozen nebula]

I mean-

[frozen nebula]

I did this

[sleek narwhal]

@dawn hazel in the video how does your pick slide right underneath the main pcb?

Mine doesn’t slide in that easy I have to force it in

[dawn hazel]

I use a thin pick

i have the ifixit picks

[sleek narwhal]

Oh mines thicker

[sleek narwhal]

You know what I’m just gonna stick a razor blade or knife under it

[dawn hazel]

no

@sleek narwhal no

please dont

[frozen nebula]

[sleek narwhal]

Don’t worry I had to go before I could

But when I get back…

[sleek narwhal]

i mean if you dont care about the original backlight pcb sure

still

not recommended

[dawn hazel]

You will break traces on the main pcb

[sleek narwhal]

I doubt that’ll happen

[dawn hazel]

Okay, but im 100% going to laugh at you when you break smth

[sleek narwhal]

And why is there traces under the lcd?

[frozen nebula]

Because it has other components-

[cursive violet]

do it the right way or don't do it at all. especially being that if you break something you won't be able to get replacements yet

[cursive violet]

[frozen nebula]

[sleek narwhal]

Just buy like one of these and solder the antenna to your flipper

[sleek narwhal]

That’s why I have 2 flippers

[dawn hazel]

No, thats why you do it the right fucking way.

All of us here have MUCH more experience than you, we might know what we are talking about.

I mean you don't have to listen to us, but you should.

[dusk karma]

I’m so glad I’ve been to busy to read any of that

What is bro doing

[dawn hazel]

who knows

[rancid quarry]

I have two legs, but I still shouldn't point a gun at one of my legs and pull the trigger

[frozen nebula]

Wise words

[sleek narwhal]

it might heal

[sleek narwhal]

unfortunately I’m stupid

[rancid quarry]

You don't have to be

[sleek narwhal]

ok

Then I’ll be smart and resoulder the contacts and use a pick

Like you said

[frozen nebula]

I have to

[cunning wren]

🇱 🇻 🇱 🥉🅾️

[sleek narwhal]

@dawn hazel @rancid quarry
I resoulderd the contacts but my pick can’t fit under it

I’m gonna take a bit of the plastic off it so it can slide under it easier

[rancid quarry]

I know nothing

I just know when people think they are doing risky things, but disregard the risk when doing it wrong

[sleek narwhal]

okay

[dawn hazel]

Hey @cursive violet, yk how [fw that you dev on] has asset packs for graphics and whatnot, think something like that would be possible for the rgb fw?

Where instead of graphics and icons its color packs

[cursive violet]

thought about making an external application for it this way it is all in one sorta deal

and would be compatible with all firmware

[sleek narwhal]

that would be so much better

[civic kayak]

Neat thread! I have a few non-related electronics projects on my plate right now but I plan to revisit this later 🙏

[sleek narwhal]

sooo i did a little something for people that have the mod https://pastebin.com/NuByyrTt

[dawn hazel]

Make pr

[sleek narwhal]

https://github.com/Z3BRO/Flipper-Zero-RBG-Backlight/pull/5

[frozen nebula]

Dex did something

[dawn hazel]

@sleek narwhal did you ever do the install?

[dusk karma]

Knife probably went through his pcd

[sleek narwhal]

yeah

[sleek narwhal]

no, didnt use a knife

[glacial talon]

Who’s the guy that made a better pub that can easily change tbh

Rbg

[frozen nebula]

Like the constantly changing one?

[glacial talon]

Pcb*

Yea goingh0st I think made a custom pcb that might make it easier for ppl to install leds

[frozen nebula]

How so?

[glacial talon]

Idk but it’s on Reddit

[frozen nebula]

Send a link

[glacial talon]

Ok

https://www.reddit.com/r/flipperzero/comments/105czlh/custom_shell_and_backlight_mod/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

I cannot seem to find the store or Contact him

[frozen nebula]

Yea I just added a comment asking about the deviations

[glacial talon]

Ty

[frozen nebula]

Because I personally do not see how it could be easier

It has to be small which is the main cause of pain

[glacial talon]

Yep

[cursive violet]

i’m interested in that resin case if that is a fixed version. i want a transparent flipper case very bad ahahaha

[sleek narwhal]

same. transparent case with the RGB would look SO good

[glacial talon]

Fr

[dawn hazel]

Take this out of this proj thread please, try to stay on topic

[plucky rapids]

Ohh sorry I thought I was texting on his topic

[dawn hazel]

@bronze flame there is an issue with the backlight fw, when you reboot the device it does not save the backlight color

any idea what could be causing that?

@cursive violet has been trying to figure out why it wont save

[bronze flame]

What firmware is used?

[dawn hazel]

it doesnt work on any

using your latest fw right now

[cursive violet]

doesn't work on any firmware running latest.

storage saving seems to have changed. it doesn't write the file. it can read but not write it

and if you don't have the file at all, it just defaults to array 0

[bronze flame]

I could not reset the hardware to the camera because one hand is free. When you press left + back, the color is saved

[dawn hazel]

for us it does not save

[bronze flame]

I can perform any action and everything works great. Installed the latest firmware version from my github

Tell me exactly what version of the firmware you have. Show device information

[dawn hazel]

can you send me a list of all files changed with rgb fw

if you have it

[bronze flame]

No, I just don't remember them anymore. I haven't coded for a long time, version updates happen automatically

[cursive violet]

seems like a file must be missing. it doesn't give this at all on latest releases

https://cdn.lullaby.cafe/img/8649FmerweA5zY7.png

[bronze flame]

Are you using the original RGB firmware or the Flipper Police version?

https://cloud.quenon.ru/index.php/s/cThZsaSw7llCYrG?path=%2Fofw

Install any version from here, this is the original RGB firmware and tell me if the problem persists

[dawn hazel]

i think i may have missed bringing a file over, im comparing fw's now

[cursive violet]

i grabbed the files from z3bros github and dragged them into ofw and all other big cfw no go on any of them

ill give that a shot rn

[bronze flame]

z3bro's (Flipper Police) firmware - is not original RGB-fw

[dawn hazel]

the things i have on my gh are the files i grabbed from your fw, im comparing dictionaries rn

[cursive violet]

yup it all works on your builds quenon. z3bro just being dumb

[lime tinsel]

lol perfect re-wording :3

[cursive violet]

lurker

[lime tinsel]

[bronze flame]

No need to offend z3bro, he tries for users of other custom firmware 🙂

[cursive violet]
