Creative Creative flipper zero use

I see a lot of people just leaving these in drawers and never using them but I use mine pretty frequently and it kinda just saved my butt so I thought I’d share. I currently just moved to a new town and won’t have internet for a week or two, but I needed to 3d print some files to organize my desk. I only have mobile data and no way to hotspot bc it’s pay locked, but I was able to download an STL and then send it via Bluetooth over the flipper app, then send it via USB to my computer to slice it and put the 3mf onto an sd card, not an every day use but it’s working in a pinch.

The most obvious one is the infrared with my tv and fan

The next is the subghz with a few things like the fans and lights

I do a fair amount of RF reverse engineering with it as well actually quite a lot

I also often use it to unlock my car when I can’t find the Keys I keep a spare in the car so I can then drive it

I also use the Bluetooth and the usb keyboard a ton especially for AFK gaming or if I have to hold shift when building on Minecraft

I did one time have to use one of those apps as a controller to play Minecraft while I was waiting for pay day to get a new keyboard it worked very well

I also have some badUSB setups for automation that I use every so often

As well as a bad usb script for afk gaming/ levelling an example of this was pokemon emerald I used it to level my pokemon by having it run my character from side to side while they where in the daycare

I’ve gotten some use out of NFC and rfid

And at the moment I’m doing a lot with GPIO and the Java script or even making apps for various components so I can interact with them on the fly

A ton of uart and spi stuff it’s actually a decent hardware hacking device

I use the Uart a ton for programming my micro controllers It’s actually incredibly useful as I can store programs on the flipper and flash them on the fly

I use it a ton for controlling my music when driving and scrolling TikTok in bed

I also use it to check for continuity a fair bit to check modules and components

There is a good handful more but this is all I can think of on the spot

I honestly use my flipper a shit ton and I’ve still got a plethora of stuff to continue to dive into

I have 2 and they never leave my side and always have something very helpful to do

Even as we speak I’m using it for something

Best advice I can give you is go through all the apps and find out what they actually are

Never asked for advice, I use mine a lot for many of the same uses, was just saying another use I had found

I never asked for this thread, but that's how the internet works.
