| Practical warning: several people have hit SPI checksum errors that turned out to be wiring problems, and some GPIOs did not work as the datasheets suggested. If the link does not come up, try different pins before you suspect the software. | Practical warning: several people have hit SPI checksum errors that turned out to be wiring problems, and some GPIOs did not work as the datasheets suggested.

| - | The temporaerhaus hackerspace in Ulm documents this build end to end with two Seeed Studio XIAO boards — a **XIAO ESP32-C5** as the sniffer and a **XIAO ESP32-C3** as the Wi-Fi bridge, both stamp-sized and solderable in an evening. The page gives the exact pin mapping and links prebuilt images you can flash from the browser, so no build environment is needed. The sniffer image comes from a fork of the receiver firmware. | + | The temporaerhaus hackerspace in Ulm [[https:// |
