Fake blue pills #162

Closed andyweed closed 2 years ago

andyweed commented 2 years ago

Hi guys,

First of all, huge thanks for your work, FreeJoy is awesome! :) Just a quick question rather than an issue: what's your opinion on fake blue pills? I mean some of them I can load your firmware onto, some of them I can't, and honestly I can't tell the difference between fake and genuine chips. Do you guys know a method by any chance to tell the fake ones apart from the genuine ones?

Many thanks.

That's great, thank you very much. I have a few which I can load the fw onto, but the FreeJoyQT does not recognize them, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. They are all genuine according to the tester.

do you do everything as written here? https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoyWiki/blob/master/eng/Flashing-firmware-with-ST-Link-programmer.md are you flashing the .hex file? some usb cables are only for charging.

Got it fixed, thank you, I got confused with VID numbers :)

Many thanks for your quick help!
