FlipSignal

Overview

The FlipSignal application turns your Flipper Zero and FlipBoard into an Infrared and Sub-GHz signal sender. Turn on/off devices using the buttons on your FlipBoard, or send a sequence of IR signals. The application is written in C and uses the FlipBoard common code for the majority of the functionality.

The application sends a Sub-GHz signal (RAW or Protocol) and then it sends any IR signals. Configuration of signals is done by saving files using a specific file name.

You can order your FlipBoard from @MakeItHackin using tindie or Etsy. Be sure to also join our Discord server.

Running the app

Make sure your FlipBoard is connected to your Flipper Zero. On your Flipper Zero, press the Ok button. Scroll down to Apps and click the Ok button. Select the GPIO folder. Select the FlipBoard Signal application. You should see startup splash screen for a few seconds reminding you to connect the FlipBoard and then the FlipBoard LEDs will do their start-up sequence.

Configuration

Action configuration

Go to Configure application in the app menu to setup how each action works. You’ll see all of the different button combos listed (for example "Action 3" is pressing button 1 and button 2 at the same time). Press Ok to select the Action to configure.

The Press color option changes the button color when it’s pressed. If you pick a combo button, all the buttons in that combo will change color.

The Release color option changes the button color when it’s not pressed. This option doesn’t work for combo buttons.

The Music note option changes the sound to play when the button is pressed. You can pick "Off" if you don’t want any sound.

Sub-GHz files

You need to copy your Sub-GHz files into your SD Card/subghz folder. Your files should be named Flip1.sub, Flip2.sub, Flip4.sub and Flip8.sub to correspond to the 4 buttons. You can also create files for button combinations, for example, Flip3.sub would be for when button 1 and button 2 are pressed at the same time.

Infrared files

You need to copy your flipboard.ir file into your SD Card/infrared folder. The name: field should be Flip1, Flip2, Flip4 & Flip8 for the 4 actions!!! The actions are case-sensitive; so they must start with a capital F and then lowercase the remaining letters. You can have multiple entries named the same, and they will be replayed in order.

If the file is not created or no matching name exists, then a fallback file of SD Card/infrared/assets/tv.ir will be used along with default names (Power, Mute, Ch_prev and Ch_next).

  • Action 1 will run Flip1.sub and then send IR signal Flip1. If IR signal does not exist, it will send IR TV signal "Power".
  • Action 2 will run Flip2.sub and then send IR signal Flip2. If IR signal does not exist, it will send IR TV signal "Mute".
  • Action 4 will run Flip4.sub and then send IR signal Flip4. If IR signal does not exist, it will send IR TV signal "Ch_prev".
  • Action 8 will run Flip8.sub and then send IR signal Flip8. If IR signal does not exist, it will send IR TV signal "Ch_next".

Using the app

Make sure your FlipBoard is connected to your Flipper Zero. Choose the Start application option to launch the app. Press the leftmost button and it should send the Flip1 signal. If you did not configure any signals, then it will send the IR TV signal "Power". The green status LED in the FlipBoard will blink as it sends the various signals that have a matching entry name: field. Once every signal has been sent, the green status LED will turn off.
