Build guides
- ESP32 Wi-Fi Motion Sensing: Build Guide — two-board experimental build, firmware, source download and repeatable test workflow. Hardware validation is pending.
- ADS-B Feeder Kit: Ethernet-First Setup Guide — antenna, power, network setup and reception checks. Pre-beta setup guidance.
Field faultfinding
Open the Linux and RF faultfinding roadmaps: initial triage, Linux connectivity and tracing, RSSI and noise, VSWR, antenna placement, and cable / connector loss. Each check leads to a next action, recovery verification or an evidence-based handover.
