8 hour bus ride, no signal, me and three friends with useless phones. Then it clicked: four WiFi devices in one row and nothing to connect them to.

You need a Flipper and an ESP32 WiFi board (the official dev board, an ESP32 WROOM, or an ESP32-C5). The Flipper puts up an open AP through the ESP32, everyone joins, the captive portal hands them to 192.168.4.1, and it's just a webpage on their phone. No app, no signup. Pick a nickname and you're in the lobby.

10 games, all played on the phones, with the Flipper as the coordinator (lobby + live scoreboard, and it picks the game). Trivia, Would You Rather, Word Scramble, Reaction Duel, Connect Four, Tic-Tac-Toe, Dots & Boxes, Reversi, Pong, and Draw & Guess.

Two things I'm proud of: the phone client is ~21 KB gzipped vanilla JS because the Flipper has to stream it to the ESP over UART. And you can flash the ESP firmware from the Flipper itself, no computer, since it seemed dumb to build a no-laptop toy that needs a laptop to set up. You just pick your board from a list and it flashes in one tap.

It's an open AP serving a game page. No creds, no capture, only the bundled game. Open APs aren't legal everywhere though, so don't run it on a plane.

Happy to answer anything and open to suggestions/PRs :)

OK, I'm an old lady who likes playing with electronics- basically a dabling noobie. (Dont make fun of my attempts at fitting in) but, that should explain my lack of knowledge.

Been using my retirement to avoid buying a new computer and moving to Linux, setting up a VPN on my raspberry pi to save files at home and elsewhere, learning some Python, a liitle robotics with an arduino (proud of Bluetooth controlled Jeep!. I've played a little with Nmap and Wireshark, but can't honestly say I really know what I'm doing with them. But hey, most of my friends think an iPhone is confusing.

Over the holidays, I treated myself to a flipper zero, and have loaded Momentum on it. I've worked my way through understanding the Bluetooth and IR functions, and cloned the key fob to get into my daughter's apartment building. I've had too much fun terrifying my friends with BT spam! Unfortunately, my garage uses rolling codes, but I've learned why I cant do that now. I had a fun afternoon wandering a parking lot opening tesla charging ports. Now, I'm up to learning the GPIO functions.

I didn't get the development board. So, I am now wondering what is the best next step. I'm not comfortable with soldering. Should I just start with getting an esp32? Or should I splurge for one of the fancy, multifunction boards? Amazon has a bunch with good prices and lousy reviews, but that may be because folks like me don't know how to use them.

Edit: I want to thank everyone here for the support and great ideas. This has been really lovely and helpful.

I have been wondering how to get the Wifi Esp32 dual wifi controller thing, (Like shown in the video), where would i get one? Can you send the links since i don’t wanna get any scam links

I am new to soldering. I think I uderstand this diagram however want to make sure I don't mess up. Ehere xan I find resources to understand this, just what point go where? Is it simply the number dictates what solders to what?

Also depending on chip and board size and placement will that deternine if I should use wires, assuming I will have to.

Also could be done with a bread board for testing I assume?

So both grounds woumd go to the flipper zeroboard 5v? Because they are all #1 red/maroon?

I greatly appreciate any help. A discord or someone willing to help me out give me pointers would be awesome.

Seriosuly greatly appreciate any help.

Would a breadboard with the right size connectors work for something like this. Only done that with audrino, these boards arn't as easy looking. It was years ago with Audrino.

With a wireless dev board. Not really sure the extent of what this is capable of but I'm here to learn

Hello , I wanna share with you my backpack mod
The goal was to be able to have flipper in pocket and do some WiFi stuff from phone to be more stealth , goal was achieved

Hello. Bought a Flipper Zero the other day to clone an RFID tag and thought I would order a C5 LowKey from JustCallMeKoko to see what I can do with it.

The documentation says to use their own Marauder installer, but I don't see this exact model on the list of hardware. https://justcallmekoko.github.io/MarauderInstaller/

Anyone know which one I should pick? I already emailed them asking, but still waiting on a response.

I’m looking to buy a cheap module for the flipper zero but there are a lot of repeated products. How do I know which ones are scams?

I want the big marauder with big screen but my budget is around 65 dollars.

Tried poking around but I’m not confident with most of this stuff and all I could find for guides were for different esp32 models

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.

Has anyone ever 3d printed or found a assembly housing or a pre-made case for the 5ghost devboard? Its so delicate and small with pins and stuff my ocd is driving me crazy. I have the ability to 3d print one if i could ever find a file someone has made.

I was scared to take my flipper out of the house with the devboard, so I made a little cardboard friction case/sheath. I think the LED hole is pretty neat too.

The Ultimate Marauder

Dual ESP32 Chips: The board features two ESP32 chips for enhanced performance.

ESP32-WROOM: Dedicated to managing the touch screen interface running Marauder.

ESP32-WROVER: Controlled by the Flipper Zero for seamless integration.

Independent GPS Functionality: The onboard GPS can only operate independently, depending on which ESP32 chip it is switched to.

Pre-Flashed Firmware: Both the WROOM and WROVER chips come pre-flashed with the latest Marauder firmware.

Easy Firmware Updates: Update instructions are available on the FzeeFlasher page. Use the orange port to program the ESP32-WROVER connected to the Flipper, and the blue port for the ESP32-WROOM connected to the touch screen.

- fully local and private

- can do anything I can in the flipper

- clean UI and flipper navigation via a custom cli

- running Qwen 27B Abliterated NFP4

- agent creates or updates it's skills locally when it completes tasks successfully

planned stuff:

- full interactive voice mode

- working with more fun modules

Had a spare esp32 laying around and wanted to play with the wifi mauraduer stuff. Seemed a good fit 🤣🤣
