Open-source passive multi-band RF monitoring

SkySweep32

A coherent system for observing relative RF activity at 855–925 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz, then recording and presenting that evidence locally.

READY FOR FIRST PHYSICAL PROTOTYPE — NOT PRODUCTION VALIDATEDRev C is the current PCB and enclosure. No Rev C board has been assembled, bench-tested, RF-characterized, compliance-tested, or field-tested.
Diagram of the three passive RF paths, ESP32-S3 core, and local outputs

One system, clear boundaries

Passive inputs

Three fitted receive paths provide relative RSSI/activity observations. They do not identify a transmitter, demodulate a protocol or video, calculate a bearing, or prove range.

Local evidence

The ESP32-S3 coordinates GNSS, microSD logs, OLED, alerts, and a local Web UI. Data handling remains subject to local privacy and aviation law.

Experimental networking

Wi-Fi, BLE receive, and ESP-NOW paths build from source. On Rev C, range, coexistence, and standards conformance are still physical-test work.

Build the current design

Use only the Rev C route. Rev A, Rev B, and historical v0.6.1 binaries target incompatible hardware and are not current order or flash sources.

Evidence before maturity

Current reproducible checks cover schematic/PCB CAD, fabrication export, enclosure collision/service constraints, firmware build, and host parser contracts. They do not substitute for measured RF, power, USB, GNSS, mechanical tolerance, reliability, compliance, or field behavior.

Open-source пассивный многодиапазонный RF-мониторинг

SkySweep32

Система наблюдает относительную RF-активность в диапазонах 855–925 МГц, 2.4 и 5.8 ГГц и сохраняет локальные доказательства через GNSS, microSD, OLED и Web UI.

ГОТОВ К ПЕРВОМУ ФИЗИЧЕСКОМУ ПРОТОТИПУ — НЕ ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕННО ПРОВЕРЕНRev C — текущая PCB и корпус. Собранной платы, RF-характеризации, compliance или field evidence пока нет.

Это пассивное наблюдение энергии/activity: не идентификация передатчика, не демодуляция, не пеленгация и не активное RF-воздействие. Wi-Fi, BLE и ESP-NOW требуют проверки на физическом Rev C; LoRa/Meshtastic, TinyML, ATAK и 5.8 video не являются возможностями Rev C.
