If you buy from official website you will save some money: https://lilygo.cc/products/t-embed-cc1101

BTW their factory firmware isn't complete, it's just for testing purpose.


Good find! Was afraid of the added shipping costs but this was just an additional 5 USD to ship


I will upload photo and a guide soon


why do you say this? I find SX1276 a perfect replacement for CC1101( that have problems with shared SPI bus). Also SX1276 support LoRa and have a wider frequency range than CC1101.


The SX127x doesn’t have the same features and CC1101 has way more options to fine tune any aspect of the radio.


I have a bunch of esp32-c3 and build system of capibaraZero make it easy to integrate it(like other device of esp32 family). The only problem with esp32-c3 is the absence of USB OTG feature.


Is OTG a requirement? Or just good to have?

I have a bunch of C3-mini boards and it would be great to finally use them for something more interesting than a temperature sensor.


Not really a requirement, you won't see USB section on the GUI. The capibaraZero is designed to support almost every device that support Arduino Wiring framework, so if a device doesn't support a feature, it will be hidden in GUI


I will check it, thank you.


It depends on usage, if you make an ARP poison attack on your home network, for example, it's not a big problem, if you make it on someone else network, can be a problem :). Also pay attention on SubGHZ frequency, country restrict free frequency range


CC1101 boards(at least the cheapest ones) have problems with shared SPI bus(SD card and Subghz module)


I saw the board, interesting, a really compact board with almost all module already soldered on it. The project structure and build system makes it easy to integrate new board, I consider it a valid option to reduce space and avoid issues of soldering all components. Thank you for the advice!


PCB is ready, it's a typo in docs, I will update ASAP


What part was a typo?


> For the moment the only option is to make capibaraZero with a breadboard but we are working on a PCB to make device more portable.
