What would be a fun starter project?

[feral minnow]

I'm looking to buy a flipper this Christmas - we can all agree it's a hell of a present. But it would feel bad if I bought it and only used it to reduce how many key fobs I carry and turn the maccies TVs off. What would you guys suggest for a relatively cheap beginner projects to code and build for a nice chunky expansion card.

Maybe a cool app. Or an awesome expansion board, or something marrying the two. Idk

They don't have any in stock?

How would you buy one?

[feral minnow]

I've been looking everywhere

And it says not on stock?

[feral minnow]

idk man. where are you based? bc if you're in America, that's probably why - its sold out everywhere

[gray nymph]

YOU PAID ONLY 193 ??? FOR THE WHOLE THING?? I PAID £203 ONLY FOR FLOPPER ONLY TF ?

[feral minnow]

Bro, chill. That doesn't include VAT, I think

[gray nymph]

oooohhf

ok i was so close to shite my self

do u have one ?

[feral minnow]

No, I said I'm buying it for Christmas. I can't up front that kinda cash on a fuckin whim lmao

[gray nymph]

um you might have to order it now it takes up to 15 to 45 or 76 days

[feral minnow]

I'm a fuckin student, I can't upfront that kind of money. Gotta wait till Christmas and birthday stuff starts going down

I got it ordered from Joom to the Czech Republic, and it took 16 days.

Try building a NRF24 board for it

[feral minnow]

the chips do look swanky - a board using the nRF52810, 832 or 840?

[swift locust]

ill send you a link in dms

[feral minnow]

ok, I got the link - i think i see what its going for, a wireless mouse emulator, right?

like a mouse jiggler

[feral minnow]

tbh, the chip looks super intresting. I wonder if i could make a zigby remote/interface

[swift locust]

you can basically send badusb files to wireless mouse/keyboard receiver

[feral minnow]

holy shit. now that is good

since windows doesn't easily distinguish between different keyboards, would it also work as a keylogger?

[daring meadow]

HID devices do not receive data, so this is not possible.

Also, I 'think' bluetooth is encrypted, so intercepting wireless communications should not result in anything useful unless they butchered the Bluetooth implementation

so am ii

[feral minnow]

awwwww. thats a tragedy

nvm 🤷
