(WIP)

Supports FlipperZero's Dev Board v.1

FlipperZero WiFi Scanner Module

WiFi Scanner Module for FlipperZero based on ESP8266/ESP32 (results with ESP8266 much better than with ESP32)

This module will help you in finding specific access point physical location.

Work demonstration

Install EPS8266 board version 2.7.4 for Arduino IDE. I had issues with higher versions.

Compile firmware for FlipperZero with new application

Use next schematics to solder the WiFi Scanner board for FlipperZero

How to add new application on FlipperZero

1. Copy folders and paste directly into root folder of original firmware.
2. Add new applications category in /fbt_options.py my_apps for example

FIRMWARE_APPS = {
    "default": (
        "crypto_start",
        # Svc
        "basic_services",
        # Apps
        "basic_apps",
        "updater_app",
        "archive",
        
        # My Apps
        "my_apps",
        
        # Settings
        "passport",
        "system_settings",
        "about",
        # Plugins
        "basic_plugins",
        # Debug
        "debug_apps",
    ),
    "unit_tests": (
        "basic_services",
        "unit_tests",
    ),
}

3. Add new apps category and our app into applications/meta/application.fam

App(
    appid="my_apps",
    name="My applications for main menu",
    apptype=FlipperAppType.METAPACKAGE,
    provides=[
        "wifi_scanner",
    ],
)

4. Compile with any method provided by FlipperZero dev team

Issues

I tested all the things on a test bench with Wemos D1 and all was good. When I soldered protoboard with Wemos D1 mini pro I started to receive exceptions. It seems for some reason Wemos D1 mini doesn't run well on FlipperZero 5V. To fast solve the issue I've added an AMS1117 voltage regulator on 5V to drop it to 3V3 and feed the module.
