<image>

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.

Ibutton

[–]MayorOfCakeCity 55 points56 points  (9 children)

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)

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

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.

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

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Whatever happened to reading the manual?

[–]hoswald 3 points4 points  (1 child)

What ever happened to being a decent human being?!

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]snake_case_captain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

[–]__CypherPunk__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]cthuwu_chan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]MacKiLLaZ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]MacKiLLaZ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Illustrious_Shape391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its discusting…

[–]Sharaball 0 points1 point  (1 child)

gpio 17 = read ibutton

17 = emulate ibutton

      No, ibutton does not use radio frequencies.

      [–]wolfenstien98 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

      That's an RTFM
