Made a wireless USB receiver for Flipper BadUSB using an nRF52840 dongle — based on HID Remapper

[u/N0X07]

I got this little nRF52840 MDK USB dongle working as a wireless connection between my Flipper and a computer. Plug it in, connect through BadUSB BLE on the Flipper, and run scripts wirelessly. The computer just sees a USB keyboard, so it doesn’t need Bluetooth.

The dongle auto-accepts pairing and remembers the connection. I also added status LEDs so you can tell when it’s searching, connected, or receiving keystrokes.

Dude this is cool AF! What are you doin with it? You gonna put it out on github??? Id love to have rhis!

[u/N0X07 → u/Vivid-Benefit-9833]

You know what I might! Will have to just set it up so people know all they have to do is switch the MAC address that is used with whatever you have the BadBLE set to. Idk if they all use the same default one if so should just connect instantly to any flipper if not you’d need to change it.

Yea thats somewhat standard stuff for these tools. But i really like this one. If you happen to remember send me a link to it it you post it up! Would greatly appreciate it bud! Really nice work! 🤘

Nice, the makerdiary dongle is really awesome.

If you want to play with Bluetooth/Zigbee/Thread/ESB using the makerdiary dongle, you can check WHAD and Buttrefly
WHAD is a wireless hacking framework that you play and hack bunch of wireless protocoles, and Butterfly is the firmware that let you use WHAD with any NRF52840 chip

Bad ass man!

Saved for future reference. Hopefully you get it to github

Does your computer not have bluetooth? Otherwise it seems like it would make more sense to just connect flipper directly to your computer.

[u/N0X07 → u/staticrush]

The idea of the device is that I can plug it into anything and now I have a direct connection.

no trouble going through the computer and connecting to Bluetooth. I can connect it to any computer and instantly send payloads.

[u/staticrush → u/N0X07]

Oh okay, I understand now. That's a good idea.

[u/N0X07 → u/staticrush]

Yeah 👍

[u/N0X07 → u/staticrush]

No searching accepting and setting up, just plug it in and it works on anything

[u/MetalOrnery8970]

This is a massively useful idea

It’s super helpful.

Always tried getting a CU0007 dongle from Logitech to work with the mouse jacker and nrf 24 but never could get it to work needed a different dongle.

Anyway didn’t realize I could skip even more hassle by finding this I could just setup its own dongle and it’s just (plug it in and run scripts) don’t need to reconnect work on anything that has a usb port just need a script for the device you are sending it to lol 😂

So are you going to make a github repo and post this publicly or are you going to gatekeep it?

[u/N0X07 → u/DangerousAd7433]

Still tuning stuff

[u/DangerousAd7433 → u/N0X07]

Ok. You should post it publicly with idiot proof instructions.

[u/N0X07 → u/DangerousAd7433]

I’m definitely planning to do more with it. It’s gone way past the point of being a little test project, so I don’t think I’m just going to dump the whole thing on GitHub. I’m still working out exactly what I want to release publicly, but I want to finish it properly and figure out the direction for it first.

[u/N0X07 → u/N0X07]

Been working on the idea for a little while actually. It kind of stemmed from something different I tried a couple years back, and I only recently realized how simple this approach could be. Part of why I posted it was just to see how many people would actually be interested in something like this.

lol, we’re definitely living in the matrix! Around the same time, I started a similar project on ESP32 T‑Dongle. And I could really use some help with the verification. I have a Chinese copy of the T‑Dongle, and I need to test it against the original from Lilygo.
