Wireless Regulatory Notice
This device incorporates an ESP32-S3-PICO-1 wireless module that transmits in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, making it an intentional radiator under radio-frequency regulations worldwide (including FCC Part 15 Subpart C in the United States, and the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU in the European Union).
Although the ESP32-S3-PICO-1 module itself carries pre-existing regulatory certifications (FCC, CE, and others), those module-level certifications do not automatically extend to a finished product that incorporates the module. The pre-certified module exemption permits individual hobbyists to build a limited number of devices for personal, experimental, or educational use without obtaining separate equipment authorisation.
Important Limitations
- Assembled devices must not be sold, offered for sale, gifted, or otherwise distributed to third parties unless the finished product has been independently tested and granted its own equipment authorisation (e.g. FCC ID, CE marking with a Notified Body assessment) in the relevant jurisdiction.
- Building this project for personal use in limited quantities is generally permitted under hobbyist and experimental-use provisions (e.g. FCC §15.23), provided the device does not cause harmful interference.
- Regulatory requirements vary by country. Builders outside the United States should consult their national radio-frequency authority for applicable rules.
Builder's Responsibility
It is the builder's sole responsibility to ensure that any device constructed from these designs complies with all applicable radio-frequency regulations in their jurisdiction. The author provides these designs for personal, educational, and hobbyist use and makes no representation that a device built from them satisfies the regulatory requirements for commercial distribution.
