It's cool that they also have a ready docker image with their building toolchain. Setting up a dev environment for a C project can be cumbersome otherwise.
Our goal so to make easy to use Vscode + PlatformIO environment, without depends on any virtualisation.
@zhovner - Kudos to you guys for making this great hardware toolkit. I am one of the backer from kickstarter, eagerly waiting for my kit to come :)
> Oh, and one more thing — Flipper uses 433 MHz to communicate with other Flippers out there, so you can make some cyber-dolphin friends :)

So what you're saying is, I can buy a flipper (or use the same frequencies) to detect other flippers as a defense?

This seems like a weird feature to build in to a covert ops tool.

No, it's just optional feature to play with, not implemented yet. And you will need to manually activate it like a Bluetooth discovery.
Everyone is looking forward to the release of Flipper.

Take your time, do it right.
