5Ghost WiFi-плата для Flipper Zero – BW16 RTL8720DN, двухдиапазонная
Ref: pingequa.com/pages/wiki#flipper-zero-5ghost-bw16-external-antenna
▶01 · PREPPreparation Manifest
  • Host Device: Flipper Zero
  • Compatible Flipper Firmware: Official, Momentum, or Unleashed.
  • Required App File: Download the latest 5ghost_wifi_lab.fap from GitHub Releases:

https://github.com/pingequalab/5ghost-wifi-lab

  • Hardware Note: The PINGEQUA 5Ghost board ships preloaded. No wiring, soldering, or module flashing is required for first-time setup.
  • Antenna Note: Tighten the external SMA antenna before use.
  • SD Path: Copy the .fap file to /ext/apps/GPIO/ on your Flipper microSD card.
  • Support Note: Built for the PINGEQUA 5Ghost BW16 board only. Other BW16 / RTL8720DN boards are not supported.
▶02 · SETUPHardware & Firmware Deployment
01HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Power OFF your Flipper Zero.

Tighten the external antenna first, then align the 5Ghost board with the top GPIO header and seat it straight. Do not force or tilt the pins.

Power ON the Flipper Zero.

02INSTALL THE FLIPPER APP

Download the latest 5ghost_wifi_lab.fap from GitHub Releases.

Copy it to your microSD card under /ext/apps/GPIO/.

On the Flipper, open: Apps → GPIO → 5Ghost WiFi Lab.

03FIRST USE

Start with Scan Wi-Fi or Channel Map to confirm the board is communicating normally.

The module firmware is already preloaded from the factory. Browser flashing is only needed for recovery, not for normal setup.

▶03 · DEBUGTroubleshooting Guide

ISSUE App does not appear in Apps → GPIO.

FIX Confirm the file name is 5ghost_wifi_lab.fap and that it was copied to /ext/apps/GPIO/ on the microSD card. Reinsert the SD card or reboot the Flipper if needed.

ISSUE Board is not detected after installation.

FIX Power OFF the Flipper, remove the board, and reseat it on the top GPIO header without tilting the pins. Make sure the external antenna is tightened correctly before use. This board is designed for the PINGEQUA 5Ghost BW16 hardware only; other BW16 / RTL8720DN boards may not work correctly.

ISSUE Deauth does not work on some networks.

FIX This is usually not a hardware fault. PMF / 802.11w and WPA3-protected APs can ignore deauth by design. 5Ghost is designed to flag these protected targets instead of failing silently.

ISSUE Handshake capture is empty or inconsistent.

FIX Select a 5 GHz target AP when capturing WPA/WPA2 handshakes. On this platform, 5 GHz is the reliable capture path.

ISSUE Module firmware needs recovery or the board stops responding.

FIX Open https://flash.pingequa.com/devices/bw16-5ghost in Chrome or Edge on desktop, or Chrome on Android. Connect the board by USB-C and click Flash. If auto-entry fails, hold BOOT, tap RESET, release BOOT, and try again.

Модуль NRF24 для Flipper Zero – nRF24L01+ 2,4 ГГц
Ref: pingequa.com/pages/wiki#nrf24
▶01 · PREPPreparation Manifest
  • Functional specs: 2.4 GHz RF transceiver (GFSK). Sniffs and injects wireless HID packets (mice / keyboards).
  • Core capabilities:
  • Sniffing: capture hardware addresses of unencrypted 2.4 GHz wireless devices.
  • Mousejacking: inject BadUSB payloads into vulnerable wireless receivers (e.g. Logitech Unifying).
  • Scanning: 2.4 GHz spectrum interference analysis.
  • Required firmware: [CRITICAL] Momentum or Unleashed. Official firmware lacks the SPI drivers and GPIO apps.
  • App path: Applications → GPIO → [NRF24 Sniffer / MouseJacker].
▶02 · SETUPHardware & Firmware Deployment
01PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
  • Power OFF your Flipper Zero.
  • Insert the NRF24 module into the GPIO headers, aligned to the correct pins (3.3V on Pin 9).
  • Power ON the device.
02LAUNCH NRF24 TOOLS
  • Path: Applications → GPIO → [NRF24 Sniffer] or [MouseJacker].
  • Ensure SPI mode is selected in the app if prompted.
03VERIFY
  • Run the Sniffer near a known 2.4 GHz GFSK device to confirm capture.
  • If you see "Module Not Found", re-check firmware and pin seating (see Troubleshooting).
▶03 · DEBUGTroubleshooting Guide

ISSUE "NRF24 Module Not Found" error.

FIX Confirm you are on third-party firmware (Official FW will not work). Check for bent pins or debris in the GPIO headers. Ensure stable 3.3V power (Pin 9).

ISSUE Sniffer captures nothing.

CAUSE Most modern "Bluetooth" mice use BLE encryption that NRF24 cannot crack; this module is effective against older 2.4 GHz GFSK protocols (early Logitech, Microsoft, non-brand wireless mice). High-traffic Wi-Fi can also drown out the sniffer.

FIX Move closer to the target receiver.

GPS Module #

HW_IDFLIPPER-ZERO-GPS-MODULE
GPS-модуль PINGEQUA для Flipper Zero
Ref: pingequa.com/pages/wiki#gps-module
▶01 · PREPPreparation Manifest
  • Hardware: GPS + GLONASS module for Flipper Zero, built on the Quectel L86-M33. Receive-only — no transmitter.
  • [CRITICAL] Outdoor use only: GPS cannot receive satellites indoors. Use it outside in an open area with a clear view of the sky — away from windows, walls, and metal — or you will get no fix. This is normal for any GPS receiver.
  • App: Install the GPS NMEA app from the Flipper app catalog.
  • App link: https://lab.flipper.net/apps/gps_nmea
  • Firmware: Official or Momentum (Momentum also has a built-in GPS feature).
  • Note: Uses the Flipper default GPIO pins 13/14 — no wiring changes and no pin remapping.
▶02 · SETUPHardware & Firmware Deployment
01PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
  • Power OFF your Flipper Zero.
  • Seat the GPS module on the top GPIO header in the correct orientation — default pins 13/14, 3.3V, GND. Do not force the pins.
  • Power ON.
02INSTALL THE APP
  • Install the [NMEA] GPS app from the Flipper app catalog (lab.flipper.net/apps/gps_nmea), or enable the built-in GPS on Momentum.
  • Open it: Apps → GPIO → [NMEA] GPS.
  • No data on screen? Long-press [Up] to set the baud rate to 9600 (the module default).
03FIRST FIX — OUTDOORS
  • Go outside to an open area with a clear view of the sky. This step is essential (see the outdoor note above).
  • Keep the module still and wait. The on-board LED shows it is active.
  • A cold first fix can take a couple of minutes — that is normal.
  • After the first fix, the supercapacitor keeps your last position, so later restarts lock on in seconds.
▶03 · DEBUGTroubleshooting Guide

ISSUE No fix / no location shown.

CAUSE You are almost certainly indoors, or your view of the sky is blocked.

FIX Go outside to an open area, away from windows, walls, and metal. Give it a clear view of the sky and wait a couple of minutes.

ISSUE No data at all in the GPS NMEA app.

FIX Long-press [Up] in the app to set the baud rate to 9600, and confirm the module is seated on the default pins 13/14.

ISSUE First fix is very slow.

CAUSE A cold start with no stored data always takes longer.

FIX Stay outdoors with open sky and keep the module still. Later restarts are much faster thanks to the supercapacitor.

ISSUE Lost the fast-restart benefit after long storage.

CAUSE The supercapacitor holds for hours, not days.

FIX Do a normal first fix outdoors; restarts will be quick again afterward.

Scout Lite #

HW_IDSCOUT-LITE
Scout Lite для Flipper Zero — ESP32-C5 Wi-Fi 6 wardriver с GPS L86
Ref: pingequa.com/pages/wiki#scout-lite
▶01 · PREPPreparation Manifest

Что нужно

  • Flipper Zero. Рекомендуется прошивка Momentum — https://momentum-fw.dev — в ней есть приложение Marauder и можно переназначить GPS UART на GPIO 15/16. Stock-прошивка эти пины переназначить не может.
  • Карта microSD, FAT32, для платы Scout Lite. Marauder пишет сюда WigleWifi CSV. Карта не входит в комплект.
  • Плата Scout Lite и её dual-band SMA-антенна. Накрутите антенну до включения питания.
  • USB-C data-кабель, если будете перепрошивать или обновлять Marauder.

Полезно знать

  • Scout Lite поставляется с предустановленным ESP32 Marauder — https://github.com/justcallmekoko/ESP32Marauder — wardriving работает сразу.
  • Для live-дашборда wardriving на Flipper установите SigRoam. Актуальный файл: https://github.com/pingequalab/sigroam-wardriving/releases/tag/v0.3 — скопируйте sigroam-0.3.fap в SD Card/apps/GPIO/. Не прошивайте SigRoam на ESP32.
  • Выделенная сканер-прошивка SigRoam для этой платы в разработке. Её ещё нет в flasher. Отгружаемые устройства остаются на Marauder.
  • Бортовой ESP32-C5-WROOM-1U покрывает 2.4 и 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6. 5 GHz — только scan / enumeration.
  • GPS Quectel L86-M33 (GPS / GLONASS / Galileo) помечает каждую записанную сеть координатой.
  • Плата питается от GPIO-header Flipper. Наденьте антенну до включения, чтобы защитить RF front-end.
▶02 · SETUPHardware & Firmware Deployment
01Установить плату
  • Выключить Flipper Zero
  • Совместить Scout Lite с GPIO-header и плотно нажать
  • Накрутить dual-band антенну на разъём SMA
  • Вставить FAT32 microSD в плату Scout Lite — Marauder пишет WigleWifi CSV сюда, не на карту Flipper
02Установить SigRoam для live-дашборда (рекомендуется)
  • Оставить заводской образ Marauder на плате. SigRoam — приложение Flipper, не прошивка ESP32.
  • Скачать sigroam-0.3.fap с https://github.com/pingequalab/sigroam-wardriving/releases/tag/v0.3
  • Скопировать в SD Card/apps/GPIO/ на Flipper
  • Поставить Settings → System → Log Device в Off. Пины 13/14 общие с системным логом.
  • Открыть Apps → GPIO → SigRoam, перейти в Dashboard, нажать OK для старта. Один файл работает на Official и Momentum.
03Или использовать companion-приложение Marauder
  • Прошить Momentum на Flipper Zero, если нужна входящая в него Marauder-приложение — https://momentum-fw.dev
  • Для родного GPS-приложения Flipper назначьте GPS UART: MNTM → Protocols → GPIO Pins → NMEA GPS UART → Extra 15,16
  • Wardriving через Marauder пишет координаты независимо от этого назначения — GPIO 15/16 только для GPS-приложения Flipper
  • На Flipper: Apps → GPIO → [ESP32] WiFi Marauder, затем Wardrive
04Wardrive на улице и загрузить лог
  • Бортовому GPS нужен открытый вид на небо. В помещении fix не будет. В машине держите плату у лобового стекла.
  • Строки получают GPS-координаты только после fix. Холодный старт под открытым небом может занять минуту.
  • Выключить, вынуть microSD Scout Lite и прочитать на компьютере или телефоне.
  • Файл — стандартный WigleWifi CSV. Загрузите на https://wigle.net или через официальное приложение WiGLE.
05Обновить прошивку Marauder (необязательно)
  • Подключить Scout Lite к компьютеру по USB-C
  • Перепрошить или обновить ESP32 Marauder на https://flash.pingequa.com/devices/scout-lite
  • Эта страница только Marauder. Выделенной сканер-прошивки SigRoam там ещё нет.
▶03 · DEBUGTroubleshooting Guide

ISSUE GPS-приложение Flipper не показывает fix

CAUSE GPS UART не назначен на GPIO 15/16, или холодный старт без открытого неба

FIX Назначьте пины: MNTM → Protocols → GPIO Pins → NMEA GPS UART → Extra 15,16. Дайте антенне вид на небо — холодный старт может занять минуту. Wardriving Marauder и SigRoam по-прежнему пишет GPS на плате, даже если GPS-приложение Flipper не показывает fix.

ISSUE Сети не записываются

CAUSE Нет FAT32 microSD в слоте Scout Lite, или запущен обычный Scan вместо Wardrive / SigRoam

FIX Вставьте карту FAT32 в плату Scout Lite, не в Flipper. Запустите Wardrive в Marauder или скан с Dashboard SigRoam. Строки получают координаты только после GPS fix.

ISSUE SigRoam говорит, что serial port занят

CAUSE Flipper Settings → System → Log Device занимает пины 13/14

FIX Поставьте Log Device в Off и снова откройте SigRoam.

ISSUE Прошивать ли SigRoam на ESP32-C5?

CAUSE SigRoam — это .fap для Flipper, не прошивка платы

FIX Не прошивайте SigRoam на ESP32. Скопируйте sigroam-0.3.fap в SD Card/apps/GPIO/. Оставьте Marauder на плате. Браузерная прошивка на https://flash.pingequa.com/devices/scout-lite по-прежнему только recovery Marauder.

ISSUE Можно ли снимать 5 GHz handshake?

CAUSE 5 GHz на ESP32-C5 — только scan / enumeration

FIX Scout Lite показывает сети 5 GHz, которые платы только 2.4 GHz пропускают. Сам захват handshake — это работа на 2.4 GHz.

ISSUE Есть ли BeiDou?

CAUSE L86-M33 ведёт GPS, GLONASS и Galileo

FIX Этого достаточно для точного позиционирования по всему миру на уровне WiGLE. BeiDou не требуется.

ISSUE Приложение Marauder не появляется на Flipper

CAUSE Плата не до конца посажена, или прошивка без ESP32 GPIO-приложения

FIX Плотно переустановите плату. Используйте Momentum или другой билд с [ESP32] WiFi Marauder. Или установите SigRoam — один файл на Official и Momentum.

Hydra RF 424 Cap для Cardputer ADV – CC1101 + nRF24L01+ 433 МГц
Ref: pingequa.com/pages/wiki#hydra
▶01 · PREPPreparation Manifest

One module family, one setup. The Hydra RF 424 / 824 / 924 are the same board — only the CC1101 band tuning differs — so these steps apply to every model in the series.

  • Models & bands: [424] 433 MHz · [824] 868 MHz (EU / Intl ISM) · [924] 915 MHz (US ISM).
  • Compatibility: M5Stack Cardputer ADV version ONLY. Using on Cardputer v1.1 or older causes detection failure and possible firmware errors.
  • Radios: CC1101 (Sub-GHz) + nRF24L01+ (2.4 GHz), with AutoBand smart switching — no physical toggle.
  • Firmware: Bruce 1.14 (recommended). [NOTE] Avoid v1.15 — a known bug can reboot the Cardputer (e.g. during RF Scan); 1.14 is stable. Source: https://github.com/BruceDevices/firmware
  • For one-click flashing: a desktop with Chrome or Edge + a USB-C data cable (Safari / Firefox not supported).
  • Docs (pin reference, setup guide, troubleshooting): https://github.com/pingequalab/cardputer-adv-hydra-rf
▶02 · SETUPHardware & Firmware Deployment

Our web flasher installs Bruce and then automatically writes AND verifies the Hydra RF pin config — no manual pin editing.

01PREP
  • Use Chrome or Edge on a desktop (Safari / Firefox are not supported) + a USB-C data cable (not a charge-only cable).
  • Remove the SD card first — an old config on the card can interfere.
02FLASH FIRMWARE
  • Connect the Cardputer to the PC over USB-C and open https://flash.pingequa.com/devices/cardputer-bruce
  • Click [Connect] and pick the device serial port in the popup. The Cardputer enters flash mode automatically — no buttons.
  • Keep the default version 1.14, click [Flash], and wait for the progress bar.
03AUTO-CONFIG (automatic)
  • After flashing, the page waits for the device to reboot, then automatically writes and verifies the Hydra RF pin config.
  • It succeeded when the log shows [Module config applied and verified]. No manual action needed.
04FINISH & USE
  • Reinsert the SD card, then dock the Hydra RF module onto the Cardputer ADV backplane.
  • Open Bruce's RF tools. Set the CC1101 frequency for your model — RF → Frequency: [433.00] (424) · [868.35] (824) · [915.00] (924) MHz.
  • nRF24 (2.4 GHz): launch any NRF24 tool (e.g. Spectrum) and select SPI mode.
!!IF AUTO-CONFIG DID NOT COMPLETE
  • Wait until the device reaches the Bruce main screen, then click [Apply module config] on the flasher page to retry once.
  • If the reinserted SD card holds an old brucePins.conf, the device may show a config error — delete it or format the SD card.
  • Manual pin reference (last resort): https://github.com/pingequalab/cardputer-adv-hydra-rf
▶03 · DEBUGTroubleshooting Guide

ISSUE Module not found, or a config error, after flashing.

FIX Once the device reaches the Bruce main screen, click [Apply module config] on the flasher page to retry. If the SD card holds an old brucePins.conf, delete it or format the card. Last resort — set pins manually: https://github.com/pingequalab/cardputer-adv-hydra-rf

ISSUE No serial port shows in the flasher picker.

FIX Use a USB-C data cable (not charge-only) and try a different port. Flashing works only in Chrome / Edge (desktop) or Chrome (Android).

ISSUE Failed to connect, or wrong chip detected.

FIX Unplug and replug the device, then click Connect again. Close any app holding the port (Arduino IDE, serial monitor).

ISSUE RF / Sub-GHz menus show no radio.

FIX The Hydra RF module must be plugged into the Cardputer ADV — without it there is no RF hardware to drive.

ISSUE Cardputer reboots unexpectedly (e.g. during RF Scan).

CAUSE A Bruce v1.15 firmware bug — not a hardware fault.

FIX Re-flash the stable Bruce 1.14 from the one-click flasher.

ISSUE Reboot during Record Raw or high-power TX.

CAUSE The Cardputer shared SPI bus can congest under high-speed traffic — a hardware limitation, not a module defect.

FIX Remove the SD card during Record Raw, or connect external USB-C power for long sessions.
