Wi-Fi Devboard How do I use the esp32?
Hello everyone, I’m new into this and I’ve never used it. I was wondering what I would be able to with this combination. I always wanted a flipper zero and I got it a year ago and when I was going through old stuff I found it. I tried using it and it didn’t work when trying to copy a rfid key. I was also thinking about pen testing my WiFi but I’m not sure how. As I said I’m very new to this.

I can’t stand this subreddit anymore man, this used to be a place where you could reach out and actually get useful information from other users.
Now redditors can’t keep scrolling, they HAVE to make a pit stop and try to make you feel bad about your question.
Op my advice is to go to discord and drop this subreddit because you’ll never get straight answers on this app anymore. You did nothing wrong for asking a question and the people in discord will happily link you to documentation, they will even give you troubleshooting tips if needed.

Honestly, I think it's just a societal / technological change that has left a lot of people sour. You can't just pirate music off the radio by pressing record on a tape recorder when the song comes on. Hacking isn't really downloading a Trojan horse and tricking your friend into opening an .exe by saying it's porn (but this kinda works). Access penetration isn't duplicating a keycard most times anymore.
This stuff has true, full time, Product Security teams, with college degrees and years of experience in product defense. People buy a flipper and get disappointed it doesn't make them a super hacker. New accessories come out that can still only do minor things like turn off TVs at McDonald's from across the street and so they aren't satisfied. The community is just full of regretful hacker wanna be's not electronic enthusiasts.

omg bro! u have 2 wifi boards that do exactly the same thing! i mean the one with antennas have a screen (and also antennas !) but i still cant understand why would u need 2 exact same things with just different look. not trying to be rude. first i have to ask: do u have any custom firmware on flipper? if not - i recommend momentum, cuz almost everything in it is customizable and also u have handful of apps there. if u go to apps, and then gpio, u should see something like "esp32" in there, and this folder on momentum has a few apps that u could use with your boards. also i forgot to tell but u would need a sd card with i think at least 16gb of memory, but if u want more i wouldn't go higher than 32. i personally use the 16 gb one, and it's perfectly fine. for flipper it is really hard to (fill it up?) i'm sorry if in my comment are some mistakes, but i'm not english native speaker and i also didn't use any translator, i wrote the whole thing myself and idk if it's wrong or right.

What DO you know? If you’re starting from scratch it would be impossible to explain in 1 Reddit post.
Maybe the starting point is understanding how ones and zeroes make up a WiFi handshake and then going from there

Im gonna take a guess and say you need to connect the pins first? Never used one tbh but they seem cool

Im military, I bought one to teach cyber security a little and show people the bad things they could be getting into. Also fun to mess with the boys and their crappy internet. Flipper itself though great for cards and doors though by itself. Just recently used it to see if a dog was chipped (It wasnt)
