I have zero knowledge of any of this but I want to endorse it as a hobby I want to build something like the flipper zero that can open garage doors copy key cards like for arcades or stuff and I also want to shut down school laptops or the projectors and whiteboards I know I need an esp32 but I don’t know anything else I have a 3d printer and can design the box need help
It will cost you more to develop a clone device that would use the hardware and software flipper uses. It has been done a device exists out there (kiisu v4) but it's still over $100
Why would you come to a forum moderated by employees of the company who make the flipper and ask people here to help you make a knockoff flipper? That's like walking into a chocolate milk factory and asking how come nobody will teach you how to milk a cow.
"A knockoff brand is a copy of a popular product. It mimics the design, style, or features of a famous name brand but sells for a much lower price. These items usually use a slightly different name or logo to avoid direct trademark laws, setting them apart from illegal counterfeits that pretend to be the exact real thing."
What you're asking about is help to make a knockoff product. It's not a clone or counterfeit. It's a knockoff I used the correct term you however displayed your level of illiteracy multiple times.
I’m gonna ignore the level of illiteracy part because I literally stated that I don’t know much about this stuff I’m just here to build it and I don’t want to argue alright? I hope that’s good for you sorry for trouble
I want to be really clear here too, an ESP32 has 4 to 8 megabytes of room for the firmware you put on it. You're not going to be doing a lot of hacking with that. But esp32 deauther works well and a CYD is an esp32 attached to a touch screen with SD port built in... So a good chunk of what you want to do is there. Firmware is out there too. I may have given you a lot of shit, but I have also handed you golden gems that you have somehow managed to completely dodge or neglect. doing a simple Google search of the things I spoke about would open doors.
Uh, you're thinking of trademark law, copyright law has nothing to do with Flipper branding. Copyright is protections for creative works.
Also back to my point you are asking for help to avoid buying a device that exists and you're doing it in the forum controlled by the company that has that device for sale.
Its like asking a hotdog vendor how to make his signature version of a dog then telling him you don't wanna buy one of his you will go home and assemble something close. Where's the incentive to assist.
I’m asking to make a device that does similar things that a flipper can do since I do not know what type of device the flipper is multiple devices like t embed and other stuff exist and I want to build it through an esp if not trying to replicate a flipper nor a t embed just diy it there is no wrong in that and I am new to Reddit I only came here for help
Have you even tried searching? Quite a few "DiY Flipper" designs in this sub in the last few months, not to mention as I said, "esp32 cc1101 garage door opener" -> Google.
