Spoiler Alert! Your photo shows 4M. |

the didn't click the right ae button again. is 4m worse than standard rpi pico? |

4M is twice what you get on a standard Pico, so no, no worse. :) And you paid less and might be able to clock them faster. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Mick, as a beginner I just think pico has loads of prog mem and ram, coming from 8 bit. just take it for granted. 4M will be more than ample. the vbus to supply usb device and 2 diodes stopping see when boards arrive |

Your best bet is to look at the circuit, Stan. I think it might be a double diode. One feed comes from the USB 5V, one feed comes from VIN and the common cathode goes to VOUT and the input of the 3V3 regulator. Connected like this you can never power the USB supply from the module. I think putting power the other way from a powered hub might work as you are still supplying the 3V3 regulator at the same time as any USB devices, just in the opposite direction.

Mick, if you blobbed the dual diode input and ran 5V from the usb to ttl I presume would be added for programming from a pc, to Vin which now blobbed to Vbus, so powering rpi2040 3.3V reg and powering usb device which is the way I use standard pico usb but 5V from usb to ttl to Vbus no blobbing. dunno where the dual diode is.guessing the 3.3v reg is next to pins 2 and 3. |

You can't get 5V out of the YD-RP2040 USB socket. VBUS doesn't come out to a terminal so you can't connect to it. It can only be used as a supply input. Pin 40 (VOUT) is the same as VSYS (pin 39) on a Pico. Pin 39 (VIN) is the equivalent of a Schottky diode connected to VSYS on a Pico. I'm not sure where the diode(s) is so I don't know how difficult it would be to blob it. It would certainly make it a non-standard board though.

Hi Mick, the relevant bit of circuit/ diodes. in threads links are mentioned not to say about ili9488 mods all not standard but are now.  |

So you see what I meant about VBUS now? you can't get 5V onto it from the 5V rail, but it can provide the 5V rail itself. And I'd remembered correctly, it is a double Schottky diode. V+ is labelled Vout on the board. I've just taken the Pico W out of my aquarium controller and replaced it with a YD-RP2040 because I was having stability issues. So far the replacement has been much better. I've no wi-fi now, of course, so the RTC isn't auto-corrected to a NTP server on boot, but that's a small price to pay for having a system that doesn't have problems. I need this to be reliable as it's controlling lighting and CO2 dosing timing.

My boards not arrived yet but here's the diodes and if blobbed you can power via vin and that will supply usb kb . the danger is connecting vin to 5v and connecting usb to pc.. but pico usb you wouldn't, the 5v to vin when blobbed would be for me from the usb to ttl board, the pico usb connects to and powers the usb device connected....or an I mad?  |

No, that's ok if I understand you correctly. I don't like to modify modules though. At some point you might want to change it for something else and, unless you've kept a record of any changes you made for that particular job, you might well plug in something that either doesn't work or causes damage. Far better to produce a manual that describes how to use a standard module or, if absolutely necessary, how to modify a standard module so that it works.

Hi Mick, 5 new picos finally arrived. I blobbed the diodes so vin is connected to usb vbus. It works. post more when I flash usb picomite.    |
||||
| stanleyella Guru Joined: 25/06/2022 Location: United KingdomPosts: 2127 |
Flashed usb picomite rc3 and it works as "normal picomite" in usb mode. I use the usb to ttl as the 5v supply going into vin but that now also powers the usb keyboard. It's fine as long as you remember not to connect to pc usb and stick 5V into vin same time. so usb is possible...you shall go to the ball cinders  |

Yep. The 4M ones will probably run faster than the 16M ones that I got. Mine didn't work above 252000 KHz. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

strange it took option cpuspeed 420000 and it showed in option list then next power up it said invalid speed and does if you try again. 378000 seems to hold it's value. |

That's because Peter has modified MMBasic. At boot it sets a watchdog. It will try to boot at the speed set in OPTION CPU. If the watchdog times out you get "Invalid clock speed - reset to default" and the speed is set to 133000 (I think). Here's my theory. At the time you set the speed using OPTION I'm not sure if the watchdog gets set - it has already booted and it may only be at boot. If that's the case then it will try to run at the speed you set anyway - and may crash or lock up. Then, when you try to restart it will try with the watchdog this time. When you set the option to 378000 it obviously managed to boot within the watchdog time. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

As my drift is this "new" pico in usb mode so plugged a usb hub type c into pico and usb kb into hub and worked. I will power the hub, micro usb 5v, and see if it powers the pico and kb.. after remove 5v to vin. this will mean blobbing diodes not needed to get this pico working usb edit Powering usb hub doesn't power pico, so only blobbing diode :( edit again.. obvious it would not power pico, it would not power a pc usb port. doh  Edited 2024-04-11 05:24 by stanleyella |
