I bought a flipper zero to reverse the shitty wireless remote that my pool equipment vendor wanted $1000 for.

This remote sent signals right in the middle of the flippers range.

The flipper didn't work for shit, was fucking weird, and had piss-poor documentation. The promise was democratizing radio hacking digital signals. That was, in the most charitable light, an oversell.

So for the low price of $200, I found out I could just buy a replacement remote off ebay for cheap rather than hacking up my own receiver.

Also, you can BUY a flipper, but you can't SELL a flipper.

Anyways, that's my flipper experience, I wish them the best but also I don't give a shit.
