CC1101 on an FT232H: a 433 MHz scanner in the terminal
Summary
A HomeLab guide detailing how to build a 433 MHz scanner using a CC1101 radio module and an FT232H adapter, controlled from a laptop with Python and pyftdi. It provides hardware requirements, wiring, installation steps, and live testing to sweep and listen for signals, with a focus on decoding simple 433 MHz remotes such as copy remotes and later gate remotes. The project demonstrates practical RF analysis on inexpensive hardware and previews further exploration of KeeLoq based remotes.
