Not seeing it mentioned here but the big difference from a first glance is the RF capability. This is little more than a 433 MHz replay attacker. Maybe you can generate arbitrary data out, as long as it's the ook modulation. I'm sure there's a great use-case for this, but avoid any delusions of grandeur, this is very cut down.

yes i know that is simply a replay attack, for now i was all that i want, in the future I will see what can be done

I know this is a hobby project, but the whole appeal of Flipper Zero is that you can get one for $200 and it instantly grants you a seat on Joe Rogan or Shawn Ryan show where you can wave it front of camera, flip a switch and say "all you base are belong to mine".

nope, the whole appeal of flipper zero to me and for my friends is what you can do with it, not that you can get one for $200.

Is it not...a bit of both? There's some dollar amount where "what you can do with it" wouldn't make up for the price, no?

Mr. Ryan hands out gummy bears.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

" Important Notice: This is just a fun project, it was started to pass the time, it is not at all professional and is not intended to be. Is not an alternative for professional device."

The title blurb seems to present it as a functional clone, rather than a limited copy. "A Flipper Zero clone, but cheapest, DIY and simply Open Source, made with Arduino IDE" Why not? "A hobby partial Flipper Zero clone, cheaper, DIY and Open Source, made with Arduino IDE" So it doesn't have to be clarified further down. I get that it's not that down, but the title is what will be shared and seen in web previews ever…

That's my thinking. It's not a clone. I finally remembered the term I was looking for. It's a "demake" - a remake but worse

And that's very fair but an OOK replayer is not a clone. The hardware isn't nearly the same capability. That's fine, it's just a different product entirely
