ESP-SDR Turns ESP32 Chips into Raw IQ Capture SDR

Original: ESP-SDR: Raw IQ Capture with Espressif's ESP32 Chips

A project called ESP-SDR demonstrates using Espressif's ESP32 chips to capture raw IQ samples, effectively turning the low-cost Wi-Fi microcontrollers into a software-defined radio. The project, published by developer Jeija via Espargos, is drawing attention among hardware and radio enthusiasts on Hacker News, where it reached the front page. Commenters are discussing the technical feat of extracting raw signal data from consumer-grade chips.

Why now: The novelty of repurposing cheap ESP32 Wi-Fi chips as software-defined radios appeals to the hardware hacker community.
