Description
The Hackitsune High-Power IR Blaster Module for Flipper Zero is a GPIO expansion designed to significantly extend the infrared transmission capabilities of your device.
While the Flipper Zero includes a built-in IR transmitter, its range and output power are limited for longer-distance IR applications. This module overcomes those limitations by integrating 15 high-power IR LEDs, delivering a dramatically stronger and more focused infrared signal. The result is improved range, better signal penetration and performance in real-world environments.
Housed in a sleek form factor that mounts cleanly to the top of your Flipper Zero, this module is ideal for IR research, signal testing, and universal remote functionality. (Flipper Zero not included.)
Technical Requirements
- Flipper Zero (not included)
- 5V GPIO power must be enabled
- Depending on your firmware the IR app may detect the external IT module and automatically enable 5v (this has ben tested and works on Momentum firmware)
Why 5V Power is Required
This module is designed to operate from the Flipper’s 5V GPIO rail to support the current demands of multiple high-power IR LEDs.
- Sufficient current to drive 15 high-power IR LEDs (the flipper zero 5v rail supports up to 1A)
- Stable output for consistent IR transmission
- Improved signal strength and range
We designed the board to avoid using the flipper's 3.3V rail as this may result in insufficient power output, voltage instability under load, and SD card data corruption.
How to Use
- Attach the module to the Flipper Zero GPIO header.
- Enable 5V GPIO power in Flipper settings.
- Select or load an IR signal via the Flipper interface.
- Transmit using the IR application.
