Wireless observation
Passive Wi-Fi observation on 2.4 and 5 GHz, plus Bluetooth LE. One master coordinates nine removable scanner modules.
Multi-Node Wireless Research Platform
HELLZGATE C5 FULLGATE
One master · Nine scanners · Wi-Fi + BLE
A standalone platform for observing the wireless world around you. Ten removable ESP32-C5 modules, with a design built around local logging and onboard positioning—no required cloud account or subscription.
Coming to market. C5 FullGate Core Board is in development. Hardware and power validation continue before sales open.

The Platform
Observe. Locate. Log locally.
FullGate brings multiple radios together for wireless research, education, and authorized testing. Its firmware foundation observes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE; complete standalone operation is still being verified.
Local records
Four nine-scanner field runs saved 423,592 observations across I²C and ESP-NOW. CSV structure and timestamps checked; startup rows without valid coordinates remain identified.
Connected locally
I²C is the primary communication backbone within FullGate. ESP-NOW provides a secondary wireless path. Both transports completed nine-scanner bench and field logging. A historical 20-scanner bench result is documented on the Development page; current-firmware scale testing remains pending.
Current status · October 11, 2026
A working foundation. More to prove.
Nine-scanner bench and field logging completed on both transports. Power-input retesting, current-source hardware validation and production-board qualification remain in progress.

One radio was never enough.
HellzGate started with a question: what if a whole cluster of radios could work together and report to one place? A sketch became a breadboard, then custom engineering boards, and now the FullGate design.
V1 and V2 · Retired prototypes
Real boards. Real lessons.
These working engineering platforms helped prove the multi-node concept and expose the power, communication, integration, and mechanical work needed for FullGate.
