Cardputer ADV RF Devboard Setup Guide

This guide is for the Cardputer ADV RF Devboard with NRF24 + CC1101. The module is designed for M5Stack Cardputer ADV and Bruce firmware.

Quick Start

1. Flash or update your Cardputer ADV to a recent Bruce firmware build.
2. Power on the device and open Files → WebUI → My Network, then connect to the Wi-Fi network shown on the Cardputer.
3. Open the WebUI address in your browser. Default login is usually admin / bruce.
4. Open SDcard → brucePins.conf. If you do not use an SD card, check LittleFS → brucePins.conf.
5. Update the CS and IO0 pin settings according to your board version. Save the file and restart the Cardputer ADV.

Using the RF Module

CC1101 Sub-GHz

In Bruce, go to RF → CONFIG → RF MODULE and select CC1101. Use this mode for authorized Sub-GHz learning, testing and lab work.

NRF24 2.4 GHz

Open a compatible NRF24 tool in Bruce and select the correct SPI mode if prompted. If the module is not detected, re-check brucePins.conf and restart the device.

Troubleshooting

• Module not detected: edit brucePins.conf in both SD and LittleFS if needed, then restart.
• Settings do not save: back up your files, format the SD card, then reflash Bruce firmware.
• Unexpected reboot during heavy recording: this can happen on Cardputer because of shared SPI traffic and storage load. Test again without SD card or reduce concurrent operations.
