[chbot] Chocolate fish challenge: identify the chip

[Mark Atherton]

Unit also may have on-board LCD driver hw - that may narrow things down

Presumably an async channel to the radio, so UART, or USART

Square TQFP, rather than rectangular

868MHz RF indicates a non-US ISM band, but if it could be fitted with 
a 915MHz radio for sale in the US, it might have an FCC number and 
the FCC report may be public.

What device is U2 ?
