Compact ESP32-C5 dual-band Wi-Fi wardriving board for the Flipper Zero. Scan 2.4 and 5 GHz, tag every network with an onboard GPS fix, and log WiGLE-ready CSV to microSD.
For network research, security auditing, and education only. Only scan or test networks you own or are explicitly authorized to assess.
Scout Lite is a streamlined Scout variant focused on Wi-Fi · GPS · logging. It runs pre-flashed ESP32 Marauder and works the moment you mount it on the Flipper's GPIO header — no assembly, no soldering. CC1101 and nRF24 are removed; a microSD slot is added for standalone WigleWifi logging.
| Wi-Fi SoC | ESP32-C5-WROOM-1U — 2.4 + 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 (5 GHz is scan / enumeration only) |
| GPS | Quectel L86-M33 (MediaTek MT3333) — GPS / GLONASS / Galileo, integrated patch antenna, −165 dBm tracking |
| Storage | microSD (FAT32) — WigleWifi CSV. Card not included. |
| Antenna | SMA connector + dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz antenna included |
| Interface | Flipper Zero GPIO header · USB-C (power + flashing) |
| Firmware | ESP32 Marauder — ships pre-flashed |
- Mount Scout Lite on the Flipper Zero's GPIO header. It ships pre-flashed — nothing to install on the board.
- Install Momentum firmware on the Flipper. Momentum bundles the Marauder companion app and can remap the GPS UART to GPIO 15/16 (stock firmware cannot).
- Insert a microSD card (FAT32, not included). Logs are written here.
- On the Flipper, open Apps → GPIO → [ESP32] WiFi Marauder.
- Select Wardrive. Access points are logged with time, signal, channel, and GPS coordinates as WigleWifi CSV.
The onboard GPS is hard-wired to the ESP32-C5 (so Marauder logs location automatically), and its NMEA output is also routed to the Flipper's GPIO 15/16.
To view live position in the Flipper's native GPS app, enable the pin mapping:
Momentum: MNTM → Protocols → GPIO Pins → NMEA GPS UART → Extra 15,16
Wardriving through Marauder works whether or not this is enabled. Stock Flipper firmware pins the GPS app to GPIO 13/14 — which the ESP32 already uses — so the native GPS app needs Momentum or Xtreme.
- Power off the Flipper, remove the microSD card, and read it on a computer or phone.
- The file is a standard
WigleWifiCSV. Upload it at wigle.net or through the official WiGLE mobile app.
Scout Lite ships pre-flashed, so you can start wardriving right away. To update or re-flash ESP32 Marauder, connect the board over USB-C and use the PINGEQUA web flasher:

The flashing tool is being finalized — check the page for current instructions and the latest ESP32-C5 build.
The Flipper GPS app shows no fix. Almost always firmware, not hardware. Confirm the GPS UART is mapped to GPIO 15/16 (Momentum: MNTM → Protocols → GPIO Pins). Give the antenna a clear view of the sky for the first fix — a cold start can take a minute.
No networks are logged. Make sure a FAT32 microSD card is inserted and you started Wardrive (not plain Scan). Rows only get coordinates once the GPS has a fix.
Can I capture 5 GHz handshakes? No — 5 GHz is scan / enumeration only. You'll see 5 GHz networks that 2.4 GHz-only boards miss, but handshake capture is a 2.4 GHz activity.
Does it support BeiDou? The L86-M33 covers GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo — accurate positioning worldwide. BeiDou is not required for WiGLE-grade fixes.
Antenna. Use the included dual-band antenna, or any SMA Wi-Fi antenna on the SMA connector. Always attach the antenna before powering on to protect the RF front-end.
For network research, security auditing, and education only. Contains 2.4 / 5 GHz radios — FCC Part 15 (US), ISED RSS (Canada), RED (EU / UK), MIC (Japan) apply. Firmware is ESP32 Marauder (GPLv3). Only scan or test networks you own or are explicitly authorized to assess.
