Python bindings for Flipper Zero protobuf protocol

Python API binding/wrappers for Flipper Zero protobuf protocol and command line tool


flipperCmd

The command tool flipperCmd is terminal based tool for file transfer and remote command. It can be run from the command line or as an interactive app.

It is still a work in progress (Alpha) but is functional. We are looking for help with stabilization of this build, making it work on any system.

If you want to contribute, we run black and isort for code formatting purposes.


Command Line Examples

List and manage files from command line

$ flipperCmd ls
Using port /dev/cu.usbmodemflip_Unyana1
