Anyone Connected A Flipper Zero To ARC

Skip to comments   Jump to end

I picked up one of those flipper zero things at a garage sale on the weekend.  It's portrayed as a hacking device but really it is just a store and playback controller for a bunch of different devices. You can record RF/RFID/NFC/Infrared signals etc and use it to control everything from lights, garage door, ceiling fans, TVs etc.

I figured this would be a good add on for my robot dog so it could actually do something useful. Haven't really looked at interfacing with it yet but there is a CLI, API and various wrappers and you can connect via a com port so was thinking this may make a nice addon to ARK.   So has anyone played with one of these yet? Anyone started interfacing one to ARK?

So it turns out I was way over thinking this.  Yep UART is the easiest way.

Example Turn LED Green and turn it on you just send the command to the com port

Turn on
ComOpen("com3",115200)
ComWriteLine("com3","led g 255 \r")
ComClose("com3")

Turn off
ComOpen("com3",115200)
ComWriteLine("com3","led g 0 \r")
ComClose("com3")

Now I just need to work out the syntax for all the other commands.
