EMWaver Air

EMWaver Air

EMWaver Air is the ESP32-S3 all-in-one EMWaver board. It combines a CC1101 radio (with a 433 MHz chip antenna) for ISM Waver support and an IR receiver + IR LEDs for infrared RX/TX. It’s built around an ESP32-S3 dual-core 240 MHz MCU with native USB 2.0, enabling USB device emulation while also providing fast wireless BLE connectivity to the EMWaver iOS/Android and desktop apps. Expansion headers include an 8-pin GPIO row (ideal for add-ons like the RC522 RFID board) and a 2×4 header that also fits NRF24L01 modules. A USB-C port is used for power, programming, and USB communication.
