Hello everyone,

I beginner with my flipper zero. Can I use a python script on my Flipper?

Thanks.

Have a good day.

The best you can feed to your flipper is C. He does not speak python at the moment.

But you can use Python in a PC to control your Flipper over USB.
There are plenty examples found in GitHub. There is no official how-to.

You can use the Flipper’s BadUSB function to run a python script on a computer if that’s interesting to you. You could also connect a micro controller to the Flipper capable of running micro python or circuit python.

To update this thread, there is now a Python CLI wrapper for f0 called pyFlipper. pyFlipper’s was created on 2022-07-23T19:21. It interfaces with pretty much everything, so depending on your script’s goals maybe you can use this:

That doesn’t run “on the Flipper” which is why we didn’t mention it.

#6

This may be stupid, but if the flipper speaks C, and python is implemented in C (GitHub - python/cpython: The Python programming language), couldn’t you make an app that runs python?

#7

Memory requirements are tough on Flipper. 1M of Flash, 256K of RAM.

#8

Maybe a lite version such as “circuit python” or “micro python”. Even then it would be tough without gutting the Flipper firmware. I’d love to see a Flipper version with more onboard memory.

I’m working on a solution to make this possible. See issue on GitHub.

This is a very interesting project even if it ends up being a fork of the official firmware rather then part of the official firmware. The Flipper is very limited in memory but MicroPython is a very popular option these days so I think it may have a place.

Great work so far!

He does not speak? Are you pregendering? What if my flippers do not want to be gendered yet?

Mission accomplished. Check out the application on the Flipper Lab. There is also a documentation available.
