Flipper Zero - Kickstarter RFID/RF/BLE/USB/IR

  1. Don’t break your BRAND NEW gizmo lol
  2. Weren’t you supposed to be working on a paper?
    (Pot calling kettle black)

Finished it :blush: Whenever I had writer’s block I popped back in here to respond :wink:

Printed some new parts, curing them now. Hoping I can test fit the buttons without the clips breaking. I’m using water-washable resin, which I think is slightly less strong than ordinary resin (still way, way stronger than an FDM part of that size haha).

Test fit done with new parts :slight_smile: needs the tiniest amount of sanding so the buttons fit more loosely, but everything seems to come together. Excited to try and put it together tomorrow.

There is a cyberpunk feel to it, I love it!

Something arrived…

It reads the LF side of my NExT pretty damn easy

Also tried the sub-GHz function on my ceiling fan

Writes to my NExT too, no issues. Does 3 T5577 modes, EM4100, HID, and Indala.

I know you were worried about the usability for LF writing, seems good :+1:

No HF write support yet, but the HF emulation works:

I’m probably about to take a nap soon-ish, once I’m done I’ll put together a video going over everything in one go (an overall initial review).

So far, I’m very impressed, and excited for future updates. Tons of potential.

Sadly I forgot my '90s Java ring at my dorm, that was my way of testing the iButton functionality…

Well, against every instinct in my body, I popped my flipper apart.

The shell project will definitely have to be put on hold.

The models are similar, but there’s been enough tweaks to make it impossible to just swap. It seems like the bottom cover is the biggest issue, with the pogo pin for one of the iButton contacts being shifted over a few millimeters.

I’m not giving up on this project, but that degree of model reworking is more than I’ll be able to do over my spring break (while still enjoying myself).

Thankfully I got everything back together, no issues. Hopefully flipper just releases the full current models at some point, because the printing process is completely fine. If they do that, I can have shells made the very next day.

One tiny bit of good news, despite the bottom RFID PCB being “glued down” to the bottom cover according to flipper, I was able to slip an ifixit guitar pick underneath with ease. Later down the line, that shouldn’t cause any issues.

In the meantime, I need to either find a TPU case STL or design one, still need a way to protect my flipper.

Yea I kinda wish I ordered the silicone cover, but I didn’t want to have to take it on and off…

I’ve noticed some weird behavior from silicone messing up hf reads

My LF side might be in some random mode since I don’t use it

I thought the same, went to order it just now just to have, but with $15 shipping, I decided against it.

I was unaware you could order it after the fact

The silicone case, WiFi Devboard & protoype board are all they have.

It can be tricky to find. Here’s the link

Ended up longer than I expected… Apologies for my voice.

It’s still processing, should be done soon.

Great review :+1:
We all hate our own voices, but you sounded totally fine to me

No hf uid support, but can you do any writing to hf as is?

One of my use cases was to have multiple ndef things something like
My popl link
My vaccine card link
Something stupid like a Rick roll lol

And have them all saved in the device and write them to implant as I need

I will say the USB-UART bridge mode seems pretty dang useful. I tend to use a small script on a teensy 2.0 to do the same but its annoying to reconfigure if it needs to connect to a device with different settings.

That with the Rx/Tx SDR and with HF and LF RFID just makes it even more awesome. Excellent review I’m rather excited that it can read and write to x series implants.

edit: does the music player play a simplified version of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q
