NM-RF-Hat for Bruce CYD (CC1101/nRF24/PN532)

Meet the NM-RF-HAT Companion CYD — a powerful multi-band RF companion expansion board built for ESP32-2432S028 (CYD) and compatible ESP32-S3 development boards. It brings together CC1101 Sub-GHz, nRF24L01 2.4GHz, PN532 NFC, IR TX/RX, RF433 OOK, GNSS expansion, power management, and a TF card slot in one compact, cleanly integrated board. Designed for advanced makers, hardware enthusiasts, and portable signal-analysis builds, it reduces external wiring and helps keep your CYD setup stable and organized.

build Key Features:

• hub All-in-one expansion board — combines RF, NFC, IR, storage, GNSS expansion, and power-management functions into a single compact companion board
• settings_input_component Hardware RF Switch (DIP Switch) — allows hardware-level isolation between modules to reduce SPI bus conflicts, IO clashes, and unstable behavior
• settings_input_antenna CC1101 Sub-GHz module — dedicated 433MHz support for Sub-GHz testing, common RF analysis, and compatible low-frequency signal work
• sensors Integrated RF433 OOK TX/RX for simple 433MHz OOK signal send/receive workflows in supported projects
• wifi_tethering nRF24L01 2.4GHz module — supports compatible 2.4GHz wireless analysis and interaction in a compact onboard design
• contactless PN532 NFC — built-in 13.56MHz RFID / NFC support for read, write, and emulation tasks with compatible cards, tags, and test setups
• crop_free Dedicated rear NFC read area — optimized PCB antenna area for stronger and more reliable NFC card/tag coupling
• settings_remote Integrated IR TX/RX — ideal for infrared signal capture, replay, testing, and compatible remote-control experiments
• gps_fixed Dedicated GNSS header — ready for external GPS / GNSS module connection for location-based and field-use projects
• sd_card TF card slot plus extension support for storage-based functions and flexible data handling in supported firmware
• cable Simple assembly — designed for a clean stack-style setup with CYD, requiring only a minimal wire connection for installation
• battery_charging_full Built-in battery charging circuit, USB-C input, and BAT On/Off switch for portable-ready power design — battery not included
• developer_board Designed for ESP32-2432S028 (CYD) and compatible with ESP32-S3 boards, including support for Bruce firmware and similar ESP32-based projects

construction Built for Stable Multi-Module Integration:

Many CYD builds become unreliable when several modules share the same IO lines, SPI bus, and power paths. This can lead to interference, unstable operation, and complicated jumper-wire setups. The NM-RF-HAT Companion CYD is designed to solve that problem by keeping everything routed on one board with a dedicated hardware RF switching system. The result is a cleaner setup, easier installation, and better day-to-day stability for advanced portable builds.
