Sharpfin project

The goal of this project is to gather information about the Reciva 'Barracuda' radio module, in order to understand enough of the hardware to be able to provide alternative GPL firmware.

The Sharpfin Project needs the support of keen and enthusiatic hobbyist/engineers - it is a mammoth task in understanding the internal workings of the radio - we have some partial schematics and are begining to analyse the GPL code, but there is lots to do, so
