YAFB is an amateur radio fox transmitter designed for an ESP32-S2-Saola-1 and a NiceRF SA818.
Still being worked on and now works fairly well on my bench. Hasn't been tested yet in the field. As of Nov 2023 just sent in to have v4.1 of the board to be made. More updates soon.
I started this because I was too cheap to buy one and I had way too much time on my hands. And I kind of am enjoying it. Weird.
My goal is to provide a way to make a cheap alternative fox transmitter. When done you'll be provided with all the files needed to make your own.
