Case study

Exway X1 Pro: sniffing skateboard remote telemetry

The Exway X1 Pro study investigates radio traffic between an electric skateboard and its remote. An Arduino sniffer using an nRF24L01+ transceiver listens to packets and exposes direction, gear and throttle readings; accompanying notes describe the remote hardware and radio investigation.
