Flipper zero is more aimed at wireless hacking. Which is very cool, it's a fairly unexplored area of hacking (due to traditionally high barrier of entry), but is a subset of "hardware hacking".

For general hardware hacking I'd get a pirate bus ($30), and a saelae logic clone (cheap). Maybe a nice cheap oscilloscope (but they go for $300+), but logic clone can get you mostly there.

I just got my Pokit Pro multimeter in this week and it has an oscilloscope feature. Good for up to 600V. Not currently sure I would recommend it but Ive not found anything bad on it. It is almost $200 now though.

depends on what you need scope wise. several traditional looking ones on amazon in the 150 range.

hantek handheld for 190.

There's a load of GPIO on it too

so far a relatively unexplored avenue. The Discord doesn't have a GPIO specialty last I looked but I've seen a few people wishing that there was one.

How though when any interesting wireless target uses encryption?
