## :star2: About the Project
RF-Clown is an open-source BLE and Bluetooth jammer inspired by similar projects in the community. Unlike many closed-source implementations, RF-Clown emphasizes transparency and education. The project is meant for testing and learning about RF technologies and communication protocols.
**Why RF-Clown?**
1. Promote open-source collaboration in RF research.
2. Encourage exploration of RF vulnerabilities.
### Features
- **Triple NRF24** (GT24 Mini modules) for increased coverage and performance
- **External antenna** setup: 4× IPEX cables + 8 dBi antennas
- **OLED display** + **3 tactile switches** for simple on-device navigation
- **NeoPixel Feedback**: LED indicates the current mode (BLE, Bluetooth, or combined).
- **Portable Design**: Powered by a lithium battery with a TP4056 charger for convenience.
- **Custom PCB**: Includes an onboard CP2102 for programming, LF33 voltage regulator, and other essential components.
- **Open-Source Code**: Freely available for exploration and modification.

## Uploading the Firmware (.bin) to ESP32
If you prefer not to upload the code manually or encounter errors during compilation, you can directly upload the precompiled `.bin` file to the ESP32. Follow these steps:
### Step 1: Download the Required Tools
1. **ESP32 Flash Download Tool**: Download the tool from Espressif's official site: [ESP32 Flash Download Tool](https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/tools/flash_download_tool_3.9.7_2.zip).
2. **USB Drivers**: Make sure the drivers for the ESP32 are installed on your system. You can download the drivers from [CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers](https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers) if you're using the CP2102 chip.
### Step 2: Prepare the `.bin` File
1. Download the precompiled `.bin` file from the repository.
### Step 3: Upload the `.bin` File to ESP32
1. Connect your ESP32 to your computer using a USB cable.
2. Open the **ESP32 Flash Download Tool** and configure the following:
- Select the appropriate **chip type** (ESP32) and click **OK**.
- In the **Download Path Config** section, add the `.bin` file and set the start address to `0x1000`.
- Select the correct **COM port** where your ESP32 is connected.
- Choose the correct **Baud rate** (115200 is generally recommended).
3. Click on **Start** to begin uploading the `.bin` file to your ESP32.
### Step 4: Verify the Upload
Once the upload is completed, the tool will confirm a successful flash. You can now restart your ESP32 and run the firmware.
### Arduino IDE Settings:
If you want to upload the sketch code to the ESP32, use the following settings in the Tools menu:
- Built using ESP32 Board Version 1.0.5
