(Please don't actually rate it, this is literally my first time soldering and it's tiny and not great haha.)
PCBs by https://colonelpanic.tech but the soldering is me, don't blame that on them LOL.

This is running the Flock You detection code, from here: https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/oui-spy
With some minor edits by me because I have an ESPS3-C6 board and the software is designed for either an S3 or C3.
I'm not actually sure if my edits work but it compiles and does the boot beeps, so we'll see next time I'm out.

Fun fact, the pin to make the beeps is different on the C6 than both the S3 and C3.
on the C6, it's GPIO2 / BUZZER_PIN 2
Figured that out thanks to this issue: https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/flock-you/issues/23#issuecomment-3764325935

The other necessary bit was to update the dependencies to work with the C6, which is weirdly difficult?
I had to use an alternate espressif32 package and update h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino to 2.1.0 which deprecates NimBLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks, so that has to be modified in the code to NimBLEScanCallbacks

Eventually maybe I'll proper fork the repo and make this available, if I test the thing and it works.
Could I have just ordered an ESP S3 or C3? Yes. But that would be too easy.

I put all my skill points in software and 0 into hardware, so the hardest part of this for me may have been figuring out how to read a pinout diagram and figure out which pin the buzzer is mapped to.
Feeling good about figuring that out lol
