Hello World From Gallus Gadgets

Make It Yours, Make It Gallus

Right then. Welcome to Gallus Gadgets.

If you’ve stumbled across this site, you’re probably the kind of person who’d rather build something than buy it. You enjoy soldering at midnight, you’ve got a drawer full of ESP32s in various states of consciousness, and you think the best way to understand a technology is to break it, fix it, and break it again.

Good. You’re in the right place.

What We Do

Gallus Gadgets is a small Scottish maker brand with a simple idea: put interesting hardware in the hands of people who want to do interesting things with it.

We sell:

  • Project PCBs: bare boards for our own open-source projects, ready for you to populate yourself
  • Kits: PCB plus all the components you need, bagged and ready to solder
  • Pre-flashed MCUs: microcontrollers with firmware already loaded, for when you just want to get building
  • Assembled units: fully built and tested, for when you want the result without the iron
  • Components: displays, batteries, switches, connectors and bits we use ourselves and trust

Everything we sell, we build ourselves first. If it’s in the shop, it’s been through the workshop.

First Out the Door: WiFuxx

Our first project is WiFuxx – an autonomous dual-band Wi-Fi deauthentication tool built around the XIAO ESP32-C5.

WiFuxx is a self-contained security research tool with two modes. Boot it up and it goes straight to work in autonomous attack mode: scanning for nearby networks, filtering by signal strength, and running continuous deauthentication across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneously. A small OLED shows live status, AP counts per band, current targets, and elapsed attack time.

Hold the BOOT button for two seconds and WiFuxx switches to WebUI mode, spinning up a SoftAP at 192.168.42.42. Connect from your phone or laptop and you get a clean web interface for monitoring and control – no cable, no serial terminal, no faff. It looks great and it works better.

Under the hood it’s running on ESP-IDF v5.5.1 with a patched Wi-Fi library to enable frame injection on the C5’s RISC-V core – something that took a fair bit of digging to get right. Once it’s running, it hits around 2,500 packets per second across all targets, with a 12 ms channel switch delay and batched I2C display updates so the OLED stays snappy without touching CPU headroom.

The firmware is open source and on GitHub. Build from source with ESP-IDF, or grab the pre-built merged binary and flash straight from your browser via ESPConnect – no toolchain needed.

WiFuxx is for testing your own networks, understanding wireless security, and learning how deauthentication works in practice. Use it responsibly and legally. Full disclaimer in the repo.

WiFuxx is available now as:

  • Bare PCB
  • Kit (PCB + components)
  • Pre-flashed XIAO ESP32-C5
  • Fully assembled unit

What’s Next

WiFuxx is the first of several projects making their way through the workshop. More hardware is coming, more kits, more open-source firmware. We’ll be posting build guides, project write-ups, and the occasional thing that didn’t go to plan – because that’s how you actually learn this stuff.

Make it yours. Make it gallus.
