Flipper Zero has a dolphin-like character on the display, which makes it look like a Tamagotchi device.

However, Flipper Zero is a multi-tool that can do various things contrary to its appearance.

Flipper Zero is equipped with

a wireless transmission / reception chip 'TI CC1101 ' that supports frequencies such as 315MHz, 433MHz, and 868MHz.

In addition, Flipper Zero is equipped with a scanner that analyzes and stores signals from wireless devices.

Therefore, opening and closing the gate ...

Opening and closing the garage ……

It is possible to wirelessly operate various devices such as wireless switches.

Flipper Zero can also read

RFID and iButton tags.

The read information can be saved in the microSD card connected to the main unit.

Therefore, you can unlock various electronic locks with one unit.

Flipper Zero also has an infrared module ...

It also functions as a TV remote control.

Also, because Flipper Zero stores remote control information for major home appliance makers ...

You can control various home appliances without complicated settings.

Flipper Zero is also equipped with GPIO ...

Not only wireless connection but also wired connection is possible.

Also supports module expansion using GPIO.

In addition, Flipper Zero

also supports Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) , so you can perform multi-factor authentication with services such as Google and Twitter that support the U2F standard.

Also, since Flipper Zero is

Arduino compatible hardware, you can freely rewrite the firmware.

And the big feature of Flipper Zero is that you can develop characters like Tamagotchi.

The more you use Flipper Zero, the more your character will grow.

On the contrary, if you leave it for a long time, you will get angry.

Flipper Zero will be available in the fall of 2021. The selling price is planned to be 169 dollars (about 18,000 yen), and at the time of writing the article, you can purchase the right to reserve for 10 dollars. In addition, the blueprints and source code will be published on the official GitHub repository.

In addition, it is unknown whether it can be shipped to Japan, but since we are making a movie in Japanese, it seems that we can expect sales in Japan.
