Out of the box, it could spoof RFID badges, copy remotes, analyze sub-GHz signals, and poke into wireless protocols with the ease of a gadget built by a Bond villain\u2019s favorite engineer. But where it really opened up was at the top, with those GPIO pins that transformed it from a multi-tool into a platform.<\/p>\n<p>Enter Michael Baisch\u2019s UV Meter module. It\u2019s a thumbnail-sized add-on that plugs directly into the Flipper\u2019s GPIO header and does one thing extremely well: it measures ultraviolet radiation. UVA, UVB, and even UVC rays most of us can\u2019t see, don\u2019t think about, but probably should. It\u2019s like giving your Flipper Zero sunscreen awareness, which feels oddly poetic for a device usually associated with penetration testing and hacking.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/michaelbais.ch\/projects\/personal\/uv_meter_for_flipper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Baisch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-553424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/20\/this-add-on-module-turns-the-flipper-zero-into-a-pocket-uv-radiation-scanner\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Add-On Module Turns the Flipper Zero Into a Pocket UV Radiation Scanner\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-553424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/20\/this-add-on-module-turns-the-flipper-zero-into-a-pocket-uv-radiation-scanner\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Add-On Module Turns the Flipper Zero Into a Pocket UV Radiation Scanner\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"5458dc9791b48760c08308ad-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"5458dc9791b48760c08308ad-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The core of the module is the AS7331 sensor, a surprisingly sophisticated little chip that Baisch had to wrestle into submission. Reading UV data isn\u2019t just about pulling values from registers. The AS7331 speaks in wavelengths and photodiode voltages, not clean numerical outputs. So Baisch wrote his own library to interface with it via I\u00b2C, making the sensor\u2019s data digestible for the Flipper\u2019s tiny 128\u00d764 pixel screen.<\/p>\n<p>What you get is live UV index readings broken into the A, B, and C spectrums. UVA is the long-wave stuff that penetrates deep into skin, causing wrinkles and damage over time. UVB is what gives you sunburns. UVC is mostly filtered by the atmosphere, but if you\u2019re anywhere near artificial UV sources like sterilization lamps, knowing it\u2019s there matters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-553425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/20\/this-add-on-module-turns-the-flipper-zero-into-a-pocket-uv-radiation-scanner\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Add-On Module Turns the Flipper Zero Into a Pocket UV Radiation Scanner\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-553425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/20\/this-add-on-module-turns-the-flipper-zero-into-a-pocket-uv-radiation-scanner\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Add-On Module Turns the Flipper Zero Into a Pocket UV Radiation Scanner\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>And the module doesn\u2019t just spit out raw numbers. Baisch paid attention to the UX, cramming a clean, usable interface into the Flipper\u2019s minimal display. There\u2019s even a wiring guide built into the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> for DIYers who\u2019d rather solder their own sensor than buy the full PCB. But for the rest of us, he\u2019s made the hardware files public, so you can 3D print, fab, or Tindie your way into having a plug-and-play UV monitor on your Flipper.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it\u2019s not as headline-grabbing as cloning key fobs or brute-forcing infrared signals, but it taps into something arguably more relevant. UV exposure is tied to everything from cancer risk to sleep patterns. Being able to measure it on a whim (especially using a tool originally designed for digital mischief) is a compelling narrative shift.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-553426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/20\/this-add-on-module-turns-the-flipper-zero-into-a-pocket-uv-radiation-scanner\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Add-On Module Turns the Flipper Zero Into a Pocket UV Radiation Scanner\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-553426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/20\/this-add-on-module-turns-the-flipper-zero-into-a-pocket-uv-radiation-scanner\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Add-On Module Turns the Flipper Zero Into a Pocket UV Radiation Scanner\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/05\/auto-draft\/flipper_zero_uv_meter_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"5458dc9791b48760c08308ad-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"5458dc9791b48760c08308ad-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s another reminder that the Flipper Zero is an absolute hardware chameleon capable of so much more than we know.
