## Description

## Overview

The LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 Plus is an enhanced version of the T-Embed CC1101, adding an nRF24L01 2.4GHz wireless module to the existing CC1101 sub-GHz radio platform. The ESP32-S3 dual-core processor drives a 1.9-inch ST7789V IPS LCD (170×320) and manages multiple wireless protocols simultaneously: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, BLE 5, CC1101 sub-GHz (315/433/868/915MHz ISM bands), and nRF24L01 2.4GHz. An IR transmit/receive module enables universal remote control capabilities. With 16MB flash and 8MB SRAM, the device is suited for RF signal analysis, remote sensing, and multi-protocol wireless research.
