I recently purchased a few Arduinos and a pair of nRF24L01 transceivers. I'm trying to get the nRF24L01s working with the Arduinos, and would love to use someone else's already written code as a starting point. I'm completely unfamiliar with SPI and interfacing with such devices. Does anyone have code they would be willing to share? Thanks!
I suggest you have a look at the tutorials.
I've read the tutorials, and by doing so, learned to interface with all sorts of nifty devices (LCD display, servo and motor controller, Wii Nunchuck). It just seems that SPI devices have a fair bit more background knowledge you need before you can start being productive with them.
It's not all that hard, look at the init part and match the parameters to what you can find in the datasheet (speed, MSB/LSB, etc) and then it's just a loop over your data array. But that's for the SPI. I have no idea how your chip works. That's a whole different story. Although that's usually rather straight forward once you get read/write working. Try it out and see what you can come up with. You are welcome to post your code here (or using a pastie) with info about your setup and we'll see what we can do
Yeah I hate SPI too.
I2C is much supported a lot better.
