RF#

RF Main Menu

Using a CC1101 module many RF features can be used like listening for RF signals, playing back saved signals and viewing the spectrum.

RF

Scan/Copy#

Scan and copy RF signals in ASK/OOK modulation. It will start with the default frequency (433Mhz, common for M5 RF433R and FS1000A modules).

Mode#

  • Decode: Tries to decode the signal with RCSwitch decoder.
  • RAW: Will display RAW signals obtained from RCSwitch library.

Filter#

  • Code: In Decode mode, it will only display decoded signals. More reliable in noisy environments.
  • All: Capture Decoded and RAW signals.

Replay#

Send the last signal captured by Bruce.

Save#

Stores the signal into the ./BruceRF folder as a .sub file on LittleFS or SD card (if available)

CC1101 only menu#

Range#

Choose the frequency to scan or a range to detect the frequency.

Threshold#

Choose the sensitivity of the scanner.

  • -60 to a more strict error frequency (more precise)
  • -80 to a more broad frequency (greater error, less precise)

Record Raw#

Records RAW signal using ESP32 RMT driver, displaying the raw signal obtained.

The recording will start once it detects a minimum signal on the input.

If using CC1101, you can choose the frequency you want to record.

In this function you can Save and replay signals.

Custom SubGhz (limited compatibility)#

Transmits signals stored in .sub files, they can be ones saved by Bruce in the BruceRF folder or others downloaded from internet.

Spectrum#

Displays waveform signals if RF frequencies are detected.

RSSI Spectrum#

Displays RSSI spectrum on a moving graph.

SquareWave Spectrum#

When signals are detected, it displays a squarewave based on the timings of the signal.

Spectogram#

Shows the waterfall spectogram for the specified frequency range.

Listen#

Jammer Intermittent#

Starts a PWM signal on the output, jamming the signal, not harming the transmitter, if listening to the frequency with a radio, you will be able to hear a "weeeoooooiiiiiioooooeeee" sound!

Jammer Full#

Starts a full square signal on the output, jamming the RF spectrum in the 433Mhz area, or in the RF Frequecy set in the Config Menu (if using CC1101).

Config#

RF TX Pin and RF RX Pin#

If using M5Stack, FS1000A or other single pin module to transmit the signal, here is where you can choose the pin.

RF Module#

M5 RF433T/R#

M5 RF433T/R modules or unofficial modules.

CC1101#

If you are using a StickCPlus (1.1 or 2), you will be presented to two options for CC1101.

CC1101 (legacy)#

This setup is designed to use only the CC1101 in the bus, using this setup.

CC1101 (Shared SPI)#

This setup is designed to share the SPI bus with the SD Card, but in this case you ned to add a transistor into the circuit, using this setup.

Supported Modules#

Official Modules#

  • M5Stack RF433R and RF433T

    • Frequency: Fixed at 433MHz
    • Modulation: Only ASK/OOK
    • Connection: Easier to connect

  • CC1101 SPI Module

    • Frequency Range: Supports multiple frequencies and modulations
    • Connection: More complicated, can be tested with exti/o2 from M5Stack

Unofficial Modules#

Info

The FS1000A and XY-MK-5V can be sold under various names

RF-Pins

Warning

Some modules may have poor range; modifying the antenna can improve performance.

Default Pins#

  • Tx = GROVE_SDA
  • Rx = GROVE_SCL

Unsupported/Not Working#

  • HC-11
  • HC-12
  • LoRa modules

Replay Payloads Like Flipper#

Bruce can now send raw formats similar to those supported in this repository.

Methods to Transmit .sub Files#

  1. Custom SubGhz App in the RF menu
  2. SDCard/LittleFS File Manager in the Files menu
  3. WebUI by clicking the icon
  4. Serial Command: For example, use subghz tx_from_file OpenGate.sub for further details, refer to the Serial Command Guide
