Flipper Zero

Out of the box

Once you've received your Flipper Zero, you will need to set it up.

SD Card

You will need an SD card in order to play with your flipper zero, it is pretty much useless without it. You can not buy any SD card, you will need a specific one, see here the requirements. You can also check the same link to format the SD Card through the flipper. It is pretty straightforward. They mention in the documentation that it is not necessary to buy one that is more than 32 GB even though it will still work with more. Here is the one I got from Amazon Canada.

Update firmware

Once the SD card is inserted and formatted, you will be able to update the firmware. Here is how to do this:

Get the app on your computer from this link
Install it
Plug your flipper to your computer and update the firmware, really straightforward as well.

For more information, you have the full chapter about the firmware update in the documentation here.

Infrared

Clone a remote

Once again something really simple you can clone a remote. Here is how to do it:

In the menu go to Infrared
Click on learn new remote
Point the remote at the IR port and push the button you wish to clone (every button will be saved separately)

Now you can use your flipper as a remote. Pretty cool.

Music Player

You have a music player in the flipper zero.
I changed the path but in mine it is here
You will have to put the music files in this folder. They can be txt file or fmf (flipper music file)

Make your own music

You want to make your own music. It is possible. Use this RTTTL Online tool to hear what it is going to look like.
And then you can use this documentation by neverfa11ing to create the file. I really like the image he shared. It is really comprehensive in one look
This documentation by tonsil is also really good

Convert Solfege notation to Letter notation

To convert notes to letter notation. If you are like me and never remember how to convert solfege notation to letter, here is a matrice

Solfege notation	Letter notation
DO	C
RE	D
MI	E
FA	F
SOL	G
LA	A
SI	B

SOL

Where is flat?

If you want a flat (bemol) you will need to use you musician skills. I could not find a way to make a bemol except by using its sharp equivalent so for example if you want mib you will need to use re#.
Here are a few possibilities for this scenario
- reb is do# = C#
- mib is re# = D#
- solb is fa# = F#
- lab is sol# = G#
- sib is la# = A#
- fab is mi = E
- dob is si = B

Tempo

To calculate the tempo we use a metronome one click of a metronome is a beat.

Italian	English	BPM
Largo	Large	40 - 60
Lento	Slow	52 - 68
Adagio	Adagio	60 - 80
Andante	Andante	76 - 100
Moderato	Moderate	88 - 112
Allegretto	Allegretto	100 - 128
Allegro	Allegro	112 - 160
Vivace	Lively	120 - 140
Presto	Fast	140 - 200
Prestissimo	Very fast	140 - 200

Depending on the piece the tempo will be different. You will have to calculate according to this. These images from flowkey can help us. We can assume (even though it is not always true) that for example if it says on a music sheet allegro moderato 120 the quarter note will be 120 bpm and we will calculate the other according to this.
