 # Vulpes
+An ESP32-based radio orienteering controller.
 
-## Access Point
+## What
+Radio orienteering, or amateur radio direction finding (ARDF) is a 
+sport where people run around and look for hidden transmitters. One
+necessary component is a controller on each transmitter that tells
+it when and what to transmit. 
+
+This is my attempt at a simple, easy-to-use controller with a low 
+parts count. Rather than programming a microcontroller and/or 
+using DIP switches, time delays, and sync cables, the ESP32 development
+board lets you set up each controller using a web browser.
+
+[need links here for ARDF resources]
+
+## Hardware
+I designed a simple custom printed circuit board (PCB) to make
+assumbling this controller easy to do. The repo for schematic and
+board design is here: [link to new repo].
+
+Because the ESP32 doesn't track time when it is powered off, and
+I wanted to avoid specific delays (e.g., push a button two hours
+before an event starts), an additional real-time clock (RTC) is 
+included. The RTC runs on a watch battery to track time when the
+controller is not powered on.
