Love the project, can't wait for the release! I was wondering if you know how well it deals with interference compared to an original Wavebird receiver? I currently live in an apartment and my Wavebird has been dropping a lot of inputs lately (tested on multiple Wavebirds with the same result), and as far as I can tell it's because the 2.4Ghz band is just so congested here. Been driving me nuts, makes my Wavebird basically unusable.

I am losing hope.
Mans is busy with his life, be patient. It exists and works (I even have a prototype of it), so there's no reason to lose hope.

How far along is the project? From the sound of it he sounds pretty far along. I only recently discovered this project and I'm fine with waiting a year of I need to, as long as it's open source.

Very usable, to the point that you could probably roll your own from the information in this thread and CSFworks' beautifully documented reverse engineering effort here: https://github.com/CFSworks/wavebird-reversing

Loopj has even done the work of finding a SoC that supports the Wavebird-flavoured RF comms in hardware.
