Getting Started

If you haven't yet picked up a Flipper board, please visit our store here and purchase a developer unit. All units are tested and shipped with the latest firmware.

Please be aware that the hardware is still under development and may differ from the final product, although changes are unlikely to be made at this point.

Install Flipper

Install the project dependencies

Build the repository

git clone https://github.com/flipper_io/flipper.git
cd flipper
make
make install

Update your device

It is likely that the firmware installed on your device is outdated, please update it using the following commands.

make update

You device is now raring to go! Get started with the platform by running one of the example programs.

Getting started using Python

Install the Python Language Bindings

make install-python

Make the LED turn blue

from flipper import *
led.rgb(0, 0, 10)

You should see the LED on the device turn blue. Congratulations, you've successfully set up your device! You can take this example a step further by turn on a GPIO pin.

from flipper import *
gpio.enable(gpio.io4);
gpio.write(gpio.io4);

If you have an LED attached to your Flipper board, you will see it turn on.
