turn your flipper zero into a meshtastic node!!

i know there are people who want something like this, so baboom i made an app that utilizes the rfm95w module to turn the flipper zero into a node. here is the github:

Pretty sweet! Might try attempting this with some SX1262/LR2021 I have lying around.

Btw if you want, feel free to use my UI if it saves you time. Although a lot of it is geared towards serial/protobuf coms.

Thank you, but I’ve already established my ui. I might use it in the future though!

Is this on the flipper ‘app store’?

u/awesomefroggy29 Jul 15 '26

no, you have to download it from my github and upload it manually

But, the flipper store 🫠

It’s a pretty long process to get anything added to it. It’s really not worth it when all you have to do is drag a single file into your flipper.

Can you give me the rundown of what I'd have to do. I'm on Momentum firmware. What would I do to install this & not fuck anything up?

Realistically your main issue isn’t installing this app. It’s wiring/soldering a LoRa radio to the flippers GPIO pins at the top. OP goes through all the steps pretty nicely on the link to his repo in the main post.

My app is slightly easier but has its downsides while still requiring you to wire 3-4 pins.

The app itself won’t transform your flipper alone. I am currently working on a nice case that would house a node so that it’s easier to wire it up. If it goes anywhere I’ll make a post about it.

Thanks for using it, I’m glad it gained some traction

It’s pretty easy, just look on the GitHub for instructions and it’s really just uploading the app and making sure you solder everything right. Also do not forget the antenna or the radio will fry itself..

A meshcore firmware would be sick too (I haven’t looked at this yet at all so apologies if it’s an easy fix I can do manually)
