Flipper Zero console remote control
You gotta love devices that keep getting more useful every day
I just discovered this repo: Mitsubishi AC remote.
I have a reversible Mitsubishi AC.
Cloned the report, ufbt-launched it, and hey presto! I now have a second AC remote to fight my wife over the temperature in the living room with 🙂
Thanks Anton!
I had a Flipper Zero-compatible temperature sensor all along and I never knew it
And now I have a Flipper Zero weather station:
Two years ago, I bought a cheap Denver WS-520 weather station. The head unit's LCD display turned out to be bad that I quickly shelved the device and bought another one. But I forgot the temperature sensor outside on the wall.
Today I was goofing around with Flipper and I started the weather station app just to see what it did. And lo and behold, after a few seconds, it unexpectedly beeped and reported a temperature! Then I realized the temperature sensor was still outside, still alive and is in fact a rebranded ThermoPro TX-4 supported by the app.
I'm glad I didn't resell or junk the weather station. Now I can use it again. This is awesome!
Developing on the Flipper Zero is kind of weird
I coded my first "serious" app for the Flipper Zero this week, and it's the first time in my 30-odd years as a programmer that coding something felt slightly weird for two totally silly reasons:
-
Each time the Flipper crashes, the dolphin makes a sad face. I know it's just an animation but... somehow it bothers me each and every time 🙂
-
Most of the API calls start with Furi-something. And each time I write one, I can't help but think of this. Also, there's nothing furious about cute dolphins - apart perhaps when I keep clubbing them with null pointer dereferences... And yes, I know its stands for Flipper Universal Registry Implementation. Yet my brain can't help conjuring up images of cute dolphins being clubbed in a post-apocalyptic desert.
Call me weird I guess...
Would this be possible?
Okay so since the flipper can send radio signals, would it be possible somehow to figure out what channel a TV is on and send signals of that channel's frequency to display stuff on the TV? Or am I completely misunderstanding the whole way this works
Turn Flipper Zero Into a Game Controller With This Raspberry Pi-Powered Module

Hacking together a homemade flipper.
If I wanted to build my own device with similar capabilities, what platform would be better to start with: rPi zero, or a small Arduino, with consideration of the necessary modules and firm/software needed.

How do you ban a device built with open source hardware and software anyway?
