WiFi Dev Board Alternative

[tender urchin]

Been working on an alternative to the wifi dev board since it isn’t the most available piece of hardware around. Here is a prototype. Of course it is currently running Marauder.

[graceful zodiac]

No way you made that

That looks sick af

I would never be able to solder that good

[hardy gorge]

Nice job

[graceful zodiac]

Wait isn’t that just call me koko’s board? I have think seen that before

[hardy gorge]

(Koko is WillStunForFood#8607 i think)

[graceful zodiac]

Ohhhhh

[tender urchin]

All I did was design the PCB and order them from JLCPCB. I had them do the PCB assembly. There is not way I'm going to solder 0402 components like that. I also didn't feel like using a stencil

[graceful zodiac]

Oh ok but it still looks amazing

[tender urchin]

This is actually the first time I've posted about this. A buddy and I have been working on another dev board but I designed this one really quick so it would use the same connections so I could start working on the firmware

But the final product will be much better. It will still have GPIO breakout and a JTAG interface for debugging

[visual cipher]

Better than the WiFi dev board?

[tender urchin]

It depends what you need it for. It will still have JTAG and GPIO breakout. It will also have a micro SD slot built in.

Our goal is to make it ready for Marauder out of the box but still allow it to function as a debug interface.

[visual cipher]

Will it loose any features compared to the dev board?

[tender urchin]

No USB-C. Didn't think it was necessary since the ESP32 can be programmed through the flipper UART/USB bridge.

It will also be using a standard ESP32 instead of an ESP32-S2 to it can retain bluetooth capability

[visual cipher]

Nice

[visual cipher]

Will it have all the capabilities of the marauder now except for the touch screen?

[tender urchin]

Yes. It will be able to do everything with Marauder the official dev board already does.

[visual cipher]

Nice 😊

[graceful zodiac]

How much will this cost cuz I’m 100% getting it

[tender urchin]

Still need to work out the numbers

[graceful zodiac]

Does your shop ship to Sweden?

[tender urchin]

Yes

[honest rock]

I’d like to put my name in for one of these!

[teal oasis]

My version 😜

[tender urchin]

That's a pretty convenient solution. Do you plan to add an SD card slot to it?

[lilac mirage]

@tender urchin WEN SELLLLLL

[teal oasis]

Absolutely 👍 that my next step 🔥

[tender urchin]

lol still working on the final version but hopefully soon. Shooting for either late dec or early jan

ESP32 Marauder firmware version 0.9.19

https://github.com/justcallmekoko/ESP32Marauder/releases/tag/v0.9.19

[lilac mirage]

TY! Updated. https://github.com/UberGuidoZ/Flipper/tree/main/Wifi_DevBoard/FZ_Marauder_Flasher

[pale nebula]

Can it still be used to debug?

[tender urchin]

The Marauder firmware is not made for debugging

[polar warren]

can someone tell me some tips to make a wifi dev board by my self for the flipper?

[tender urchin]

Buy an ESP32 WROOM development board from amazon, flash it with the _old_hardware.bin file from the Marauder releases page, connect the dev board to the flipper zero with jumper wires in the following configuration...

TX->RX
RX->TX
3V3->3V3
GND->GND

Use the WiFi Marauder companion app to control the dev board.

Oops wrong thread

[raw swan]

And skeleton man's flasher even includes the wroom firmware to flash it

[polar warren]

do you know the same for the cables to connect the pin to the gpio of the flipper? (like thos ones, but like female to male)

[tender urchin]

The don't really have a name. Just "Male to Female jumper wires". You can find them on Amazon.

[polar warren]

thanks for everything man, keep it up!

DuPont wires (@tender urchin)

P.S. Thank you for changing your discord name to match. Now I need to stop calling you "Will" 😂

[tender urchin]

I just like to keep everyone on their toes

[cursive acorn]

Looks like a good solder challenge, just recieved my IPC cert, those 0402s are up my alley.

[tender urchin]

Once you get that, try rerouting the antenna on a raspi zero w with their little jumper resistor.

[shy fulcrum]

I'll solder stuff for you. I love to solder.

[vapid niche]

Will this require a different firmware? And can this use spacehuhn’s deauther?

[raw swan]

It requires flashing software to the board; spacehuhn's using an 8266 instead. This can deauth as well

[vapid niche]

Ok so no different firmware on the flipper, and it can deauth its just not using spacehuhn’s is that correct?

[shy fulcrum]

ESP32 on perfboard

[lapis hazel]

And this works the same as the WiFi Dev board?

[shy fulcrum]

Yup

[floral lily]

I just try to flash a esp32 wroom 32u (with external antenna) following skeletonman's flasher, after I ran Python3 and I choose number 4 (flash esp32 wroom) it keep saying error. Am I choose wrong file? Thank you..

[floral lily]

Where did you buy that board mate?

[shy fulcrum]

You need to be in bootloader mode.

[shy fulcrum]

Which board?

[tender urchin]

Posterity. Here is the WiFi Dev Board Pro nearing its final form

[graceful zodiac]

Bro you can’t just stop making fire can you

[tender urchin]

Haha thanks. This is all part of my plan to eventually make it look like you're mounting a chocolate bar to your flipper zero.

[graceful zodiac]

lmaoo thats Sweet

or dark chocolate

[tender urchin]

Here is another alternative solution I have worked on. Something for the folks who already have an esp32 wemos d1 mini

[graceful zodiac]

Oh yea those are cool I have bunch’s of wemos d1s

[pale pivot]

Are you planning on bringing any of these to market? Sorry if I missed that somewhere buried in the thread

[tender urchin]

Yes. I plan to have a page on tindie that will offer an array of adapter options. It will likely be a single product page that will have the following options.

• SD Adapter for the official WiFi Dev Board
• Flipper adapter for NodeMCU-32S
• Flipper adapter for ESP32 Wemos D1 Mini

There will also likely be a separate product page for the WiFi Dev Board Pro shown here...

Incredible. So glad there's people like you out there who know the hardware so well

Highly interested in the WiFi Dev Board Pro. Very slick

[tender urchin]

Thank you. I wouldn't say I know the hardware well though. I think I just have a good community around me who are willing to contribute their knowledge/experience.

[pale pivot]

Shoulders of giants then.

[vernal arch]

any new news on the wifi dev board pro?

[crisp lake]

@tender urchin That new board looks awesome. Do you plan to sell it anytime soon?
