Very soon
#flipperzero
will support dynamic ELF binaries loading. This means, you can install plugins without the firmware re-build, simply by uploading files to the SD card. Look forward to hundreds of new applications from the community.
OMG!
@Stripe
keeps looking for reasons to block us. This time they blocked the payments because we sell TELEPHONE!! equipment, which is obviously absurd. Also they refuse to release already collected funds without providing a FULL list of our backers by email. Is this even legal?
We just released the Video Game Module for Flipper Zero made in collaboration with
@Raspberry_Pi
I'm really excited about this.
The module is based on RP2040 microcontroller, the same as in the Raspberry Pi Pico 🍓 board. Built-in motion-tracking sensor can be used in games and
Thank you all so much, that’s incredible, I’m just speechless.
We will try very hard and do our best at the production stage to make sure everyone gets Flipper on time. These two days were just crazy and I need to get some sleep now. See ya soon. P.S check the new skin out
Today
@stripe
blocked our account and hold all the money that we charged via
@backerkit
for shipping of
#FlipperZero
. Explaining this by the fact that we have a “risky business”. Pretty weird considering that Stripe already processed all our Kickstarter payments before.
Each Flipper has a unique name flashed in OTP memory on the factory. It used as a Dolphin name and USB Serial number, so in macOS serial device will have this name in path /dev/tty.usbmodemYOURNAME. The dictionary of 1M names was generated with neural network trained on pokemons
🔥 The long-awaited displays have finally arrived, so we are kicking off
#flipperzero
mass production!
Production plan and new features in our big update:
Check out the new
#flipperzero
main screen UI. Keyboard lock to prevent accidental key press in pocket, dummy mode is hiding all features except games.
The situation with
@Stripe
will not delay
#FlipperZero
production in any way. The production funds are not controlled by Stripe and the manufacturing has already been paid for.
The grand release will be published soon —
#flipperzero
now supports OTA updates! We are working hard on this feature for a few months and now it's ready for testing. We had to invent our own OTA update subsystem to achieve this because the classic way is impossible on Flipper.
Hey
@stripe
and
@kickstarter
Can someone please explain why our company verification documents are being rejected without any clear answer? We try all formats (PDF, JPG, PNG) and all possible resolutions. Support from both sides does not response for a several days!
20 hours till the end of
#flipperzero
Kickstarter campaign, and this result is stunning! Thank you all for your help and support. We will try our best to repay your trust. This amount of money is an air-bag in case in case of unforeseen expenses, new epidemic or a zombie invasion
Check out the
#flipperzero
production line behind the scene. The automatic screwdriver is needed for precise control of torque. Next, you can see some testing routines and protect film setup on display.
Check out the first drafts of

I'm not sure about colors, cuz it should work on:
1. Putty.exe and cmd.exe on windows
2. Minicom and screen on Linux and macOS
Hi
@BankMercury
We're ready to start kickstarter campaign of Flipper Zero project and looking for US bank for this. I can't find any clear information about your limitations in foreign money transfers because our manufacturing is located in China
READY, STEADY, MEDVEDY! We have submitted Flipper Zero's product page for the last review. If
@Kickstarter
will be ok with it, campaign will start IN THE NEXT WEEK! I can't believe this is happening.

Tomorrow we will publish a big

update about the pledge manager, production & delivery plan, and the latest news. Here's the video review of the final design verification sample of Flipper Zero
Different keyboards in
#flipperzero
. We know that you all prefer QWERTY over ABCDE but take a look how it feels in real life. In ABCDE digits row is much clearer. Most likely we will include both but one will be the default and more advanced.

Each
#flipperzero
now has a unique USB name in WebUSB / WebSerial and Bluetooth advertisement. So you can easily distinguish your device from others. But we can't decide if we should register our own USB Vendor ID or just sublicense USB PID from STMicroelectronics is enough?

У меня другой опыт: все самые дикие уголовники, убийцы и воры всегда носят кресты и говорят о боге. В то время как атеисты просто шутят над всеми этими колдунствами.
So 10% of backers just left without any option to get charged for shipping, and the collected funds are simply frozen at Stripe till they WANT to release it. So we pay up to 4.9% from each payment and for that, they can decide to take such control over the client’s business!
Behind every hardware project, there’s a guy with such laptop. Here is the

New

dev kits already with SD-card slots. Photo from the oven. You can see that solder paste hasn't melted yet. MCU was blurred to avoid confusion because it will change in the next revision.
Should we print unique name of the dolphin character on the barcode sticker or keep it secret until user unpack and turn on their

? (The food icon means our internal region designation)
Injection molds is not just a simple metal piece, but a full-fledged device with electronics, moving parts, connectors. Here is a one mold for bottom piece of

Little FAQ in thread.
Here is the graph of iButton application in
#flipperzero
. We use Miro to drawing graphs and Figma to make interactive interface mockups. Final approved graphics are drawn in Photoshop (BMP 128x64px) and converted to XBM that includes in firmware.
Before making molds for
#flipperzero
the software simulation is made to check plastic propagation speed, cooling, etc. This GIF shows two different variants of the injection channels.
When you connect to

CLI using a serial port, it welcomes you with ASCII art dolphin. Right now we are using dolphin from the public gallery, but want to replace it with our own logo. Any ASCII artist here? More info in the thread.

#flipperzero
Firmware Update tool now has a File Manager feature to access files on internal storage and SD card. Join public test and give your feedback here:
I love the new USB -> UART converter feature in
#flipperzero
. These UART dongles are always lost when they are needed.
What else serial interface should we add?
* RS485 / RS422 ?
* SPI -> USB does anyone need? Does this happen at all?
* I2C -> USB?
* CAN?
Btw, you don't need a Flipper Zero to "hack" dumb radio protocols. The piece of wire is enough.
Check out how to receive and decode 433MHz radio signal just with a PC sound card.
The IR receiver (TSOP) sensitivity is quite good. It's possible to hijack the signal even when you are on the side between IR-remote and TV and no direct IR LED visible.
We have resumed development of
#flipperzero
WebUSB application. Now it can update firmware directly from browser using the new updating protocol. Highly experimental demo:
Please check it out if you are brave enough.
Enhanced a bit my PC: engraving flippa on the lid. It was supposed to be dark, but fried aluminum turns out only white. But still looks nice 1/2

support doesn't know what's going on. ⚠️This endangers the production of Flipper Zero in general. More details in thread 1/5
