bricked trinket?

Post by lx23 »

hi there! so I'm trying to mod my nintendo switch with a trinket m0. I flashed the uf2's from here (https://github.com/mattytrog/FUSEE_SUITE). After the first part was flashed the led turned purple, then I flashed the second one and the only led that was on was the power led. i tried pressing the button on the trinket in many different ways, but nothing really made the uf2 drive to pop up. after many the drive popped up with the name FUSEE (as expected). then i tried again after some time, fearing that I might have fried the board, but still it was very very hard to open up the uf2 drive.

now I tried flashing https://circuitpython.org/board/trinket_m0/ this. well it kind of worked. it still only lights up the power led, but if i try to short the GND and RST pins, after some time it will act like expected. the problem is that I don't think that this is how the trinket should behave usually. it's weird having to reset it so many times, and most of those times nothing happens. I either have to keep pressing the button or keep shorting the reset pin to ground.

update: I kept double clicking the button and I managed to get it into UF2 mode. this is so weird. the payload shown is the fusee payload, but sometimes when i short the pins, the CIRCUITPY drive comes up. I'm so confused ;(

if it's possible I'd like to return the trinket to it's factory settings.

yes I have. either way I managed to fix the issue. I just reflashed the chip with another uf2 from the switch thingy and it fixed it. now i can connect/disconnect at will.
