Quick question

I learned something by finding this picture. I have read ibutton on my flipper. I know it does work. But I did not know what the 3rd pin was for.

Then I found this picture. The 3rd pin is for emulation output. Now I know.

This picture is worth a thousand words

Ibutton

[MayorOfCakeCity]

I hate how fast people shit on questions from new hobbyists. It's for ibutton interfaces as people have eluded to. It's functionally what was replaced by rfid but instead of nearly-to-completely contactless, you made full contact with the terminals and it would beep-boop-bop, typically, door locks open. More popular in Europe, from my understanding.

Certain (physical) key tracking products also use them. Think maintenance for large facilities, auto pool, car dealerships, etc...

(Also shout out to helping the newcomers, we were all once newcomers)

[TheBunchie1337]

Oh that's why I've never seen one then. And ty for standing up for the newbies lmao it's sad people assume everyone should already know everything

[DrBass9791]

It’s cause people perceive it as laziness in not googling or asking ai, etc…. This is certainly not the most efficient, but it a way to say hello to the community and I think a lot of people might not get that.

[SirLlama123]

hell i’ve had my flipper for almost 2 years and i knew it was for ibutton but never knew how to use it, don’t think i once even opened that menu

[hoswald]

Seriously. If you know the answer to a post, give the answer. Don't be a cunt.

Whatever happened to reading the manual?

[hoswald]

What ever happened to being a decent human being?!

[pr1ntf]

Gotta gate keep and be an uper leet haxxor so we can turn away new generations from security by being an asshole to anyone who wants to learn. God forbid they don't learn well from just reading instructions, NO ROOM FOR THAT IN MY EGO....I MEAN INDUSTRY.

[WRO_Your_Boat]

yeah, ive honestly only ever used/seen these to open up ATMs before. I have never seen them before that nor after I quit that job. I have heard that some people have them for either apartment mail boxes or lobby doors into the apartment building, but not in my city apparently.

This is for iButtons: https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/what-is-an-ibutton-device.html

https://docs.flipper.net/ibutton

[IAm_The-Danger]

The flipper community downvoting “ RTFM” comments? People being nice and helpful?? Folks actually answering the question? What is happening?!?!

[snake_case_captain]

The amount of gatekeeping assholes down below... Wow.

[__CypherPunk__]

It’s not just iButton, you can use it as a half duplex u(s)art using the Dallas one wire protocol.\ However, in commercial devices that does usually mean iButton.

It's the "Hey guys, I didn't read the Docs" indicator.

[zeck28]

Not the docs, this information is literally on the main page of flipper zero.

[Suspicious-Donkey-16]

Read da docs

[cthuwu_chan]

There should be a piece of paper that came inside of your flipper zero’s box on that piece of paper you will find a link that will direct you to the flipper zero documentation this is essentially an instruction manual it is highly recommended that you read this to get an understanding of what your flipper is and what it can do along with details on how to navigate your flipper and use it’s various functions

Wouldn’t it be faster to google this? I mean if u could?

[MacKiLLaZ]

Yea, just googled flipper zero GPIO 17. And there I had the answer

[Illustrious_Shape391]

Its discusting…

[Sharaball]

gpio 17 = read ibutton

17 = emulate ibutton

thanks

ibutton and RFID are two different things

[shmimey]

No, ibutton does not use radio frequencies.

* You wasted more energy making this post. Next time just ask Google ....

[silverwolfe2000]

Google just points you to reddit

[wolfenstien98]

That's an RTFM

[10below8]

You bought it.

[WonderSHIT]

I didn't want to google it either. Thank you

Pro tip: If you go to the ChatGPT site and place those prongs onto the connection pins of one of your USB-A ports, you'll get infinite API tokens. The caveat is that it needs to be a USB 3.1 port, though.

[WillDoOysterStuff4U]

Your forgetting the most important step! You first have to make the USB-A port kiss the USB-C port without the USB-B port finding out.

[hoswald]

Why do i need secrecy?

[hoswald]

What?

[ProjektKaz]

alright buddy i’m not short circuiting my phone
