| M5StickC Plus 2 | ✅ Fully supported |
| Bruce Firmware (latest beta) | ✅ Required |
| Bruce Firmware v1.13 stable | ❌ Known CC1101 NOT FOUND bug — do not use |
| M5Stack StickS3 | ❌ Use RF PACK S3 instead |
| M5Stack Cardputer | ❌ Use Hydra RF series instead |
⚠️ Do NOT use Bruce v1.13 stable. It has a known SPI timing bug that causesCC1101 NOT FOUNDon M5StickC Plus 1.1 hardware. Use the latest beta instead.

Select the latest beta build for M5StickC Plus.
Connect the Stick RF 424 to your M5StickC Plus via the GPIO header. No soldering required.
Physically slide the switch to select the active chipset:
| Switch Position | Active Module |
|---|---|
| 433 MHz | CC1101 (Sub-GHz) |
| 2.4 GHz | nRF24L01+ |
CC1101 (433MHz / Sub-GHz):
RF → CONFIG → RF MODULE → CC1101 (Legacy)
nRF24L01+ (2.4GHz):
RF → CONFIG → RF MODULE → NRF24 (Legacy)
Use the "Legacy" setting for both modules — this ensures zero-latency module detection.
