The RF PACK S3 is a plug-and-play dual-band RF expansion board engineered specifically for the M5Stack StickS3. It combines a CC1101 (Sub-GHz / 433MHz) and an nRF24L01 (2.4GHz) into a single compact form factor, with hardware-level mutual-exclusion logic for seamless band switching — no physical toggles required.
Designed for compatibility with Bruce firmware, the RF PACK S3 enables a wide range of RF research and educational workflows including Sub-GHz signal analysis, 2.4GHz device interaction, and spectrum scanning — all from the palm of your hand.

| Protocol | FSK / OOK / ASK | Enhanced ShockBurst |
| Use Cases | Signal capture, replay, Sub-GHz analysis | Mousejacking, 2.4GHz sniffing, spectrum |
| Configuration | Menu → RF → CONFIG → RF MODULE → CC1101 | No config required — activate and go |
| Component | Spec |
|---|---|
| LDO Regulator | ME6211, 500mA |
| Filtering | 100µF Tantalum capacitor |
| Switching Logic | Hardware-level mutual exclusion |
| Host Device | M5Stack StickS3 |
| Required Firmware | Bruce v1.14 or later |
| Device | Status |
|---|---|
| M5Stack StickS3 | ✅ Fully supported |
| Bruce Firmware v1.14+ | ✅ Required (do NOT use v1.12 or v1.13) |
| Bruce Firmware v1.12 / v1.13 | ❌ SPI + power patches missing — CC1101 NOT FOUND error |
| Marauder Firmware | ✅ Compatible |
Flash the latest Bruce firmware (v1.14+) to your M5Stack StickS3 before attaching the RF board.
⚠️ Do NOT use Bruce v1.12 or v1.13. Only v1.14+ includes the required SPI and power patches. Without them you will see aCC1101 NOT FOUNDerror.

Plug the RF PACK S3 directly into the expansion header of your M5Stack StickS3. No soldering required.
CC1101 (433MHz / Sub-GHz):
Menu → RF → CONFIG → RF MODULE → CC1101 (legacy)
nRF24L01 (2.4GHz):
No configuration needed — activate the nRF24 module and it's operational immediately.
