Flipper Zero: Waiting for SD card

· Hardware, Software

Just got myself a Flipper Zero because #whynot.

However, the updating process from 0.6x.y to 0.82.3 was not very smooth sailing:

  • First it was stuck in synchronising on the iOS app refusing to initiate the update (had to force quit + reboot Flipper Zero to get it to continue)
  • After that, once I managed to upload the new firmware, it was stuck on Waiting for SD card after the Flipper rebooted.

The SD card I tried was an old 2Gb Samsung SD I had lying around (have 3-4 of these).

Xiaomi purifier hack with NFC tags

· Hardware

It's been over two years since my last rant.

I can now happily say this NFC tag hack works. No need to hack your purifier like with their previous kit (I almost purchased the kit -- but eventually decided against it; was it worth the trouble?).

But these NFC tags are significantly easier to use. After ignoring the "your filter is at 0%" for the past ~6 months, it's back at 100% with this. Remember to dust off and clean it once in a while (but even if you don't, the air coming out is still cleaner).
