🌟 About the Project

RF-Clown is an open-source BLE and Bluetooth jammer inspired by similar projects in the community. Unlike many closed-source implementations, RF-Clown emphasizes transparency and education. The project is meant for testing and learning about RF technologies and communication protocols.

Why RF-Clown?

1. Promote open-source collaboration in RF research.
2. Encourage exploration of RF vulnerabilities.

 

🎯 Features

• Triple NRF24 (GT24 Mini modules) for increased coverage and performance
• External antenna setup: 4× IPEX cables + 8 dBi antennas
• OLED display + 3 tactile switches for simple on-device navigation
• NeoPixel Feedback: LED indicates the current mode (BLE, Bluetooth, or combined).
• Portable Design: Powered by a lithium battery with a TP4056 charger for convenience.
• Custom PCB: Includes an onboard CP2102 for programming, LF33 voltage regulator, and other essential components.
• Open-Source Code: Freely available for exploration and modification.

🔗 Uploading the Firmware (.bin) to ESP32

If you prefer not to upload the code manually or encounter errors during compilation, you can directly upload the precompiled .bin file to the ESP32. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Download the Required Tools

1. ESP32 Flash Download Tool: Download the tool from Espressif's official site: ESP32 Flash Download Tool.
2. USB Drivers: Make sure the drivers for the ESP32 are installed on your system. You can download the drivers from CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers if you're using the CP2102 chip.

Step 2: Prepare the .bin File

1. Download the precompiled .bin file from the repository.

Step 3: Upload the .bin File to ESP32

1. Connect your ESP32 to your computer using a USB cable.

2. Open the ESP32 Flash Download Tool and configure the following:

   • Select the appropriate chip type (ESP32) and click OK.
   • In the Download Path Config section, add the .bin file and set the start address to 0x1000.
   • Select the correct COM port where your ESP32 is connected.
   • Choose the correct Baud rate (115200 is generally recommended).

3. Click on Start to begin uploading the .bin file to your ESP32.

Step 4: Verify the Upload

Once the upload is completed, the tool will confirm a successful flash. You can now restart your ESP32 and run the firmware.

Arduino IDE Settings:

If you want to upload the sketch code to the ESP32, use the following settings in the Tools menu:

• Built using ESP32 Board Version 1.0.5
