Flipper Zero CC1101 Module Setup Guide

Flipper Zero CC1101 Module Setup Guide

This guide covers the PINGEQUA CC1101 Sub-GHz GPIO module for Flipper Zero.

Compatibility
Host: Flipper Zero
Radio chip: CC1101 Sub-GHz
Firmware: Official firmware or compatible third-party firmware with external Sub-GHz module support

Installation

  1. Power off your Flipper Zero.
  2. Insert the CC1101 module into the GPIO header in the correct orientation. Do not force the pins.
  3. Power on Flipper Zero.
  4. Open Sub-GHz → Radio Settings → Module.
  5. Select External to use the CC1101 module.

Basic Use

Use the module for authorized Sub-GHz learning, signal analysis, lab testing, and development work. Make sure the frequency and regional settings match your local regulations.

Troubleshooting

  • External module not found: power off the Flipper, remove and reinsert the board, then check orientation.
  • Weak range: confirm that the antenna is properly installed and matched to the frequency you are testing.
  • No response from a device: protocol compatibility, frequency, modulation, and device-side security all matter. This is not always a hardware issue.
Responsible Use Notice:
This product is intended for authorized testing, learning, hardware development and lab research only. Always follow local laws and only test systems or devices you own or have permission to use.
