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

If you would like to participate, or if you have any information to share on this wiki just sign in and start editing.

Technical / development discussions can be found on the Sharpfin Google Groups Pages.
