It's been three years since the iCopy-X's last firmware update. Is it still the ultimate RFID device? Has the project been abandoned? We need to talk about the iCopy-X. The Lab401 team flew to China, sat down with the dev-team, and now we need your help to shape the future of the iCopy-X.
Check out the complete behind-the-scenes journey of Lab401's DigiLab for Flipper Zero - from initial brainstorming to mass production — including prototype failures, code challenges, and manufacturing lessons learned. The DigiLab is a "magic wand" for electronics, allowing you to feel voltages, hear signals, see frequencies, and poke around directly in the brains of modules and sensors! ✅ Sketches, blueprints and initial planning material✅ Off-the-shelf components vs custom made✅ Designing testing jigs for rapid production testing✅ Behind-the-scenes videos, fumbles and fixes.
Check out the complete behind-the-scenes journey of Lab401's LightMessenger for Flipper Zero - from initial brainstorming to mass production — including prototype failures, code challenges, and manufacturing lessons learned. The LightMessenger creates stunning persistence of vision effects with 16 RGB LEDs and an accelerometer, painting text and images through air when swiped - fully open source and open hardware. ✅ Sketches, blueprints and initial planning material✅ Smart component selection in 2025✅ Designing testing jigs for rapid production testing✅ Behind-the-scenes videos, fumbles and fixes.
Want to see behind the scenes of making an accessory for the Flipper Zero? Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look Lab401's development framework for transforming ideas into market-ready devices. Learn about our accessory "Product Metric"'s four core requirements: crystal-clear use cases, plug-and-play functionality, open-source expandability, and built-in educational value. The development process spans five critical phases from conceptualization through mass production. ✅ Pre-production planning prevents costly manufacturing mistakes✅ Smart component selection avoids export bans and EOL issues✅ Minimized packaging reduces shipping costs and environmental impact✅ Exhaustive QC procedures ensure customer satisfaction
