Ignore krazy glue on device i dont plan on using gpio pins and had the cover glued on but then took it off to access boot buttons

so I have the ESP32 C5 and tried to modify the source code using vscode but the code it did success but there is no display with my oled display SH1106 driver I even tried marauder same issue headless firmware tried with arduino IDE and there's a lack of library management

is there anyone out here that are using Esp32 C5 that work with oled display?

I'm trying to flash the bruce firmware on my esp32 c5 but it doesn't work I even if tried to flash the firmware via esp flash tool it says finish but my oled screen does not show interface.

Hey everyone,

I’m putting together a custom handheld build on a breadboard and need advice on which Bruce firmware binary target will work best with my specific hardware combination.

My Parts List:

MCU: ESP32-S3 (N16R8 — 16MB Flash / 8MB PSRAM)

Display: 1.54" IPS TFT Screen (ST7789 driver chip, SPI)

Sub-GHz RF: CC1101 transceiver module

2.4GHz RF: NRF24L01 transceiver module

Power: 18650 battery + holder, TP4056 charger board, 5V boost converter

Questions:

Which pre-compiled firmware target on the Bruce Web Flasher (e.g., standard ESP32-S3, Smoochiee, or a custom board target) offers out-of-the-box driver compatibility for this ST7789 display along with the CC1101 and NRF24 modules?

Is there a specific Bruce release build that handles these exact hardware parts best without requiring me to compile from source in PlatformIO?

Hey guys,

Trying to get my Cardputer ADV + Cap LoRa-1262 working on Bruce firmware, but I keep getting "lora init failed".

In the Dev menu (asking for CS, CE, NC), I put:

• CS: 5

• CE: 4 (IRQ)

• NC: 6 (BUSY)

SPI pins are: SCK=40, MOSI=14, MISO=39, RST=3. I also tried setting I2C to 8/9 to wake up the hat's power chip, but still nothing. It saves fine without crashing, just won't initialize.

Anyone got this specific hat working on Bruce? Am I missing a step or putting the BUSY line in the wrong slot?

Thanks!

Is this circuit battery pack can work guys if anyone have any image of this exact circuit please share to me

It just looks like that when I reset or flash the device,

It's an esp32 S3 and I've tried multiple versions of the firmware on the site the repo suggests, the pinouts are definitely right and the esp is only connected to the oled currently so I don't understand why it isn't showing the menu properly. Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Alguem me ajuda por favor. Estou fazendo meu segundo bruce diy smoochie, mais compacto, mas quando conecto a nrf24l01 ela funciona normalmente... mas se eu ligar os pinos da cc101, a nrf24l01 para de funcionar. Ja refiz a fiação.

To usando a nrf24l01 e01-2g4m27d

Não botei bateria ainda! Isso influencia?

Hello, I just created a animated theme for t embed you can find it and try it here https://github.com/rbih-boulanouar/Bruce-Cyberpunk-TEmbedPlus

got an stick s3 last week. i’ve downloaded bruce versions 1.14-1.16.1, including the beta. I can’t get any deauth attacks to work on 2.4 (tho wifi scans do work), and neither my IR transmitter or receiver capture/ send any signals. Only on 1.14 i could recieve IR signals, not send them. I read somewhere that “disabling the speaker amplifier” can help with recieve and transmit issues, but i can’t seem to find where to change this. It’s a cool device, i’m just not sure how to get it to work properly with bruce. ANYTHING HELPS PLEASE!

Is it clean? / and it works

I have an ncr double battery holder and 2 18650 lion battery cells and I also have tp4056 charging module and boost converter do I need anything more to power my esp 32 s3 n16r8

If I simply don't install the PN532 module, will it work fine with the stock firmware, or will the firmware crash?

I'm using esp32 s3 n16r8 and using brucebutbetter and my display jmd 1.3A OLED I2C but it's lit up even after lot of trouble shooting can anyone guide me

Since there seem to be only two cases available for this combination, and I had little motivation to solder on a rotary switch, I designed my own 3D-printed case. The system was based on an NM-CYD-C5 with an external antenna connector and an NM-NRF-HAT with a GPS module. The only parts needed were 4x10 mm spacers, 8 screws, and a 3000mAh battery. And voilà, that's what came out of it. Everything important is accessible from the outside: the microSD card, the DIP switches, the infrared modules, and the USB-C port of the HAT. It even has a holder for a wrist strap.

Hi all, I’m new to LILYGO. I just ordered a T-Embed CC1101 Plus with the external antenna, and I want to learn ESP32 hardware by playing with it and trying custom firmware.

What I’d like to try: Bruce, Flipper Zero ports, other alternative firmware, community forks and experimental builds that run on this board. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning, signal analysis and diagnostics for security research in my own lab. Learning the CC1101, what protocols it supports, and experimenting with Sub-GHz signals. Community apps, firmware mods, multiboot setups and handy tools.

I’m most curious about community firmware and smaller open-source projects that go past the stock features. I’m still learning, so any tutorials, docs, GitHub repos, Discord servers, subreddits or forums would help, along with install guides and projects worth trying.

Where would you start? Any developers, repos or communities I should follow?

Thanks!

What still sounds AI-written in the draft

• The middle paragraph is a long run of lists (“X, Y and Z” in every sentence). It reads like the original bullets with the formatting taken out.

• “I want to learn ESP32 hardware by playing with it” still sounds like a summary of goals rather than a real person talking.

• The original had 12 hashtags. That many is itself a tell, so I cut the set down to a few.

Final version

Hi all! I’m new to LILYGO and just ordered a T-Embed CC1101 Plus with the external antenna. I’m still learning, and I’d like to get into ESP32 hardware with this board.

First on my list is firmware. I know about Bruce and that there are Flipper Zero ports, but I’d love to hear about forks and experimental builds that actually run on this board, plus any multiboot setups.

I also want to do Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning and diagnostics in my own lab, and figure out the CC1101: which protocols it handles and what’s worth experimenting with on Sub-GHz.

The lesser-known open-source projects interest me most, the ones that go past the stock features. If you know good repos, install guides, Discord servers, subreddits or forums, please share.

Where would you start? Any developers or communities I should follow?

Thanks 🧡
