Six months of design iterations, sourcing headaches, and a broken oscilloscope later — I am pleased to share a hardware module I designed to extend the Flipper ecosystem for RF security research. This write-up covers the motivation, engineering challenges, capabilities, and responsible-disclosure principles behind the project — and a frank look at a vulnerability that is very much alive in the Maldives today. Left: 3D render of final PCB · Right: Altium Designer PCB layout view Why I Built It The trigger was reading the original MouseJack disclosure by Bastille Networks. It made me realize that a class of peripherals most people assume to be harmless — the cheap wireless mouse on your desk — can be weaponized from a car park. I wanted a research platform small enough to carry in a jacket pocket, native to the Flipper Zero ecosystem, and capable of passive scanning, protocol analysis, and controlled lab tests. What I...

My recent test with Arduino is flushing an ATmega328 with arduino boot loader and its successful. I have an Arduino UNO SMD version and its loaded Arduino ISP sketch, to make it as an ISP programmer.

So now i can avoid the Arduino board in some of my final projects.
