FlexDF timeline

I ordered a flex DF tag mid February. I was just curious on the current timeline for the next batch to ship. No rush, but I’m excited and thought I would ask. Thanks!

We have a batch of flexDF PCBs with chips on. We still have to set up in our new lab space and then we can coat them and ship out the first batch! That should be happening some time in the next couple weeks.

Awesome, that is great to hear. Congrats on moving out of the garage by the way, is the new lab still local to where you are now?

Oh yeah… the new lab is a new garage hahaha… but better setup. I don’t really want to make my commute worse than it is. I like working from home :slight_smile:

Amal, the Disney Magic Bands have the Mifare Desfire ev1 chips installed in them for room access and point of sale. Do you think it’s possible for me to implant a FlexDF and attempt to have a park employee “activate” it the way they would a new magic band? (I doubt my Proxmark3 would be any good in this situation.)

If so, I’ll be heading to Disney World in October. Will you have a batch ready to ship before then?

This is one of my higher priority projects.

Hmm good idea. You’d need to talk to a park employee first. Technically yes it can be programmed with the proper AIDs (application IDs) and data, but the real question is whether or not the magic bands come pre-initialized with the proper AIDs and the park simply writes user-specific data to that band when it’s issued… or if the bands come totally “factory” and the issuing process configures the AIDs.

I have a magic band here… let me test it… this is what the band I have says;

I think I’m just going to purchase a chip from you and take it with me to the parks. I have a disassembled magic band 2 which will allow me to gut the internals and place the FlexDF inside. I’ll then ask the guest services rep to activate this band and see what happens. If all goes well, it worked and I can implant it already programmed.
