Introduction

The Flipper Zero features a GPIO header on the top edge of it's body. This header is able to accommodate many different peripheral devices including ESP32 modules and development boards. Because of it's many available protocols, the Flipper Zero is able to communicate directly with the ESP32 Marauder firmware when it is properly installed on a compatible ESP32 expansion board. All that is requires is to install the ESP32 Marauder firmware on a compatible ESP32 development board, install the necessary application files on your Flipper Zero, connect your ESP32 development board to the Flipper Zero, and begin using the Marauder firmware features.

Installation

The following documentation describes the steps necessary to install the ESP32 Marauder firmware on your ESP32 peripheral device as well as the applications necessary to prepare your Flipper Zero to interface with the Marauder firmware.

SD Card Modification

Note: We now offer a dedicated SD adapter and SD/GPS adapter board for a clean install on the Flipper Zero WiFi Dev Board. No wires are necessary.
A MicroSD card can be attached to the Flipper Zero WiFi Dev Board SPI via a MicroSD Breakout. Attaching a microSD card to the Flipper Zero WiFi Dev Board will allow the Marauder firmware to save captured WiFi traffic to storage in the form of PCAP files to be exported for analysis later. If you install this mod, DO NOT use the flipper_sd_serial.bin to update your WiFi Dev Board. Refer to the following table for the required solder connections

DI (MOSI) IO35
DO (MISO) IO37
SCK IO36
CS IO10

Once all of the solder connections have been made, a piece of double-sided tape can be used to fix the MicroSD Breakout Board to the back of the WiFi Development Board.
