Flipper Zero VS. LilyGo T-Embed C1101

[@paullee107]

I've been excited about this - and the brand has a good community behind it so hopefully more fun to come. I didn't know they were live, I'll get my order in!!!

[@mem_arg3691]

I just ordered mine! when I get it, I'm going to try to 3D print a replacement wheel with a divot for my thumb, which should make it much easier to operate with one hand.

[@KJ7VUB]

@@mem_arg3691 if you do, would you share the .stl? I’d love to print one and give it a try.

[@carliviris]

Already out of stock, just my luck.

[@KJ7VUB]

@@carliviris oh wow. I literally just checked like 15 minutes ago and they still were in stock. Sorry!

[@KJ7VUB]

@@carliviris back in stock.

Why are people comparing the Flipper Zero to devices like the LilyGO T-Embed or M5StickC plus etc? The Flipper is a complete, purpose built hacking tool with far better integrated features and polished softwares, while the T-Embed is just a DIY development device. They’re in totally different leagues. Flipper Zero is clearly superior and built for serious users! Let's stop forcing comparisons where there’s no real contest. The Flipper Zero stands in a league of its own!

[@rattmcpossum]

Just got one and it’s so damn cool! Do you think, as it’s ESP32, it’s possible to flash Bruce into the device? If so you’d have a powerful af device right away (maybe with some adjustments) Also wish I knew I had to buy speakers tho lmao, but ye this things cool af!

[@KJ7VUB]

@@rattmcpossum I’m not sure on Bruce. I guess one could try and 🤞not to brick it. lol.

[@rattmcpossum]

@@KJ7VUB I asked the cardputer community, I might also ask m5stack community Also mine only switches on once I plug it in: do I need to flash the hardware first, or is the power button just hidden?

[@rattmcpossum]

@@KJ7VUB brucedev is working on it as we speak 🙏

[@rerissongomes1351]

O Bruce já estar funcionando sim no T embed 👍

[@moslimislam5714]

Thank you!

[@KJ7VUB]

You bet!

[@honestlocksmith5428]

The rssi went from 0 to -37 like it grabbed a signal and stopped. It did it on 433mhz as well. Clearly, there are some bugs to work out. I think some menus dealing with a received signal isn't being displayed.

[@KJ7VUB]

@@honestlocksmith5428 ya. I noticed that after I posted it. I haven’t gotten to play with The Bruce beta I have yet to see if it’s receiving. But the the stock firmware def has some bugs to work out.

[@honestlocksmith5428]

​@@KJ7VUBIs that the stock firmware that came with it? That's probably the issue.

[@mumbles1justin]

Id pick one of these up just to run marauder on if justcallmekoko was to port it over to the lilygo. I personally prefer just a standalone device verses Flipper Zero dev board.

[@KJ7VUB]

@@mumbles1justin ditto. I love the flipper. But all the gpio boards kinda take away from the small pocket form factor that sold me on it to begin with.

[@frankiecal3186]

Poor man's flipper 0.

100 bucks cheaper

[@greenaum]

You know what'd be nifty, for covert reasons? Either the colour selector screen, or the volume (or bass / treble control or whatever), could display a number as you turn, representing the value in question. But like a safe, you turn to the correct numbers in turn then press the button. That'd enable it's full abilities as a radio hacking device. But without that, after reset, it would play dumb and just pretend to be an MP3 player. Also re MP3, I would imagine it supports Bluetooth headphones. Yep plenty of modern Bluetooth headphones have an SD slot anyway to play MP3 themselves, but they don't have a display, so playing more than a dozen songs would be a pain in the arse. So that's one reason to carry it round with you, should anyone enquire. Being transparent fits in with the transparent fad that came about, around the time discrete MP3 players were popular. Another nifty option for this would be a smartwatch, but those don't tend to have the bulk to fit a decent battery inside, which some RF needs. Plenty of RF doesn't, things work on tiny batteries, but stuff like Wifi can never be low power, since transmit power is one of the factors that gives you bandwidth.

[@KJ7VUB]

@@greenaum that’s a great idea regarding the mp3 player governess factor. Live that. I hadn’t considered ble headphones with the t-embed. Definitely a great idea!

[@petedunn2638]

Every time someone does a review on products the price jumps up. Now it's $54.67...could you swap flipper zero guts to lilygo? Using that bigger color screen for the flipper would be nice.

[@KJ7VUB]

@@petedunn2638 ya. I saw that like two days after I posted this. I’m sorry. 😞

[@lilygoactivities2783]

​@@KJ7VUB Price increase actually this is a small probability. Their team person got the price wrong, before they had a T-Embed with NFC only for sale for 50$+ as well, so the person who got the T-Embed CC1101 for only 30$+ was lucky 😄

No GPIO pins 😢

[@binky_bun]

There's nothing more annoyiong than trying to see something that's constantly pinging in and out of focus all the time. take your camera off auto focus and set it manually and stop your lens down a bit to increase depth of field. Every time you move your hands you camera goes "Ohh there's action I must focus on that" and tries to focus on your hands or the contrasty background. Use a plain background then the only detail it has to focus on is the thing you're trying to film. Lock it off and leave it there. Also look at what your camera is filming. perhaps mark out where on your bench is in frame and where isn't so you're not constantly pulling it out of frame and stuff.

[@Godspeed1756]

Normally I would say if you can't say something nice..... but when you're right, you're right.

Does anyone make apps for it yet, the new hack rf h4m has gpio pinout people have to make apps for adapters still

[@KJ7VUB]

@@mrw1160 I haven’t seen any yet. As for the h4m I’d expect once enough units arrive for r&d then you could start to see some apps being developed.
