The full story
WiFiBroadcast (WFB) is a technique for long-range, low-latency video links, popular for FPV drones, that uses cheap Wi-Fi adapters in a special broadcast mode. wfb-link is a Rust userspace radio stack that brings it to macOS using RTL8812AU USB adapters, with no kernel driver needed. The author is a software engineer but new to radio, and built it with AI help.
