Hi all,

I am a begineer of ESP's IC. Recently, I want to design a wifi sniiffer with ESP8266EX as the Wi-Fi core. I wish i can verify the hardware effeciency through PER preliminarily, so I download the RF test FW、EspRFTestTool、manual for EspRFTestTool from official website(please refer to the following link).
https://www.espressif.com/en/support/do ... ther-tools

After I download the RF test FW for ESP8266 to ESP8266's flash and try to run the TX packet and RX packet test through EspRFTestTool. Nothing is output from the EspRFTestTool. The FW is confirmed to be downloaded into ESP8266's flash. Does anybody knows what's going on with this kind of situation?

BR.

There are Arduino IDE sketches to configure the ESP8266 as a wifi scanner.
Here are 3 sketches that do basic through to advances scanning :- https://robojax.com/learn/arduino/?vid= ... _wifi_scan
