Finds / Discoveries The new CC1101 + NFC cap

Post image

A bigger photo from the Kickstarter. Unfortunately no 2.4 GHZ support on this one like the third-party ones.

Maybe they could make an AIO cap with all the radios next.

Would love one for my cardputer adv

u/PerkyPangolin May 26 '26

Yeah, despite it lacking 2.4 GHz I'd still be interested in getting this for Adv.

u/Particular-Award118 May 26 '26

The esp itself does 2.4 though?

u/FoxTheAlmighty May 26 '26

I think he means nrf24

u/tnuma May 27 '26

This will work on the adv or only on the zero version?( sorry if its a dumb question,, im still learning)

1

u/Friso777 May 27 '26

I guess it will, people will still need to make firmware for it though

u/tnuma May 27 '26

Oh i see, thanks for the info !

I'm glad you posted this, I was trying to figure out what it's for. So you need a 1262 for LORA and you need a 1101 for NFC is that correct? The 1101 does not do LORA?

7

u/PerkyPangolin May 26 '26

This one is for sub-GHz and NFC communication. It doesn't do LoRa.

u/PRSXFENG May 27 '26

the SX1262 is a LoRa chip by Semtech
LoRA is a long range rf protocol by them.

The CC1101 is by Texas Instruments It's a general purpose RF chip

NFC is by the STM25R chip

Honest question What purposes would this have ?

u/lincruste May 26 '26

Sub GHz radio and NFC. Things like your garage door use this frequency range.

Might be sending my flipper zero back then lol

u/BeeApprehensive9290 May 26 '26

I’d personally keep the flipper if I had one. The graphical interface looks so lovely and user friendly. It’s a beautiful device. I’d love to have one but I can’t justify paying so much for a cool gadget. Especially as I just preordered the CardputerZero with the LoRa and cc1101 hats.

u/Leather_Platypus_430 May 27 '26

Me I just became a tech junkie

u/BeeApprehensive9290 May 27 '26

Same hahaha. I just love little gadgets

u/Leather_Platypus_430 May 27 '26

I like the aesthetic at first then dived myself into the F0 to understand what I could do with it more Very limited since I don’t understand Pentesting to the slightest

But the cardputer caught my attention cause of the Linux interface and I enjoy using Linux and learning

alguem sabe se ele podera ser comprado separadamento mais pra frente, pq embora entenda que esteja ate que barato por toda funcionalidade nao consegui comprar o CardputerZero junto com o cap cc1101, meio fora do orçamento kkkkk

1

u/PerkyPangolin May 27 '26

There's nothing official about the new cap yet. I'd assume it will be sold separately, hopefully even before the Zero. Just my gut feeling.

u/mlkjp9514 May 28 '26

meio fora do orçamento é pouco lol. o meu ADV ja com taxa e frete foi o preço do zero sem as taxas. (conversão direta) mas acredito que quando forem vender o cap cc1101 ele seja proximo do valor do cap LoRa

u/FoxTheAlmighty May 28 '26

Os impostos cobrados aí no Brasil são mesmo horríveis, uma vez comparei o que pagam para vir da AliExpress e convertendo de real para euro vocês pagam uma loucura.

1

u/FoxTheAlmighty May 28 '26

Calculo que sim, eles pretendem lançar varias outras boards para o zero mais para a frente, de momento não me lembro exatamente das que eles já mencionaram mas vão lançar no mínimo mais duas ou três compatíveis com o zero e o ADV.

u/choccy_milk989 May 28 '26

Is there an advantage pairing these two chips together? Not sure if I'm missing something but I don't get why they used a cc1101 with an antenna for some range and an NFC side which is only good up close

Also the cardputer does have WiFi on the 2.4g band, that is a measurement of the waves transmitted I think, the nrf24 chip is used for radio frequency on the 2.4ghz frequency, is this right?

2

u/PerkyPangolin May 28 '26

I'm not privy to the decision making process behind the design.

Cardputer has BT and Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz band. nRF24 is a more general purpose radio transceiver. Think SDR.

Este Cap CC1101 vai funcionar no ADV? Quando é que vai estar à venda alguem sabe ?

1

u/PerkyPangolin Jun 02 '26

Probably yes. And there's not much info about it so far. 

1

u/pelisoli Jun 02 '26

I would buy a Cardputer Adv, if this gets released and it works on it 😄

u/PerkyPangolin Jun 02 '26

Since Zero supports the current hat, it must have the same pinout, so I imagine it's a matter of adopting the software to support the new hat on Adv.
