DorkbotPDX people doing strange things with electricity

I've been attempting to help (or maybe hinder!) Don with a project he's working on. My task is to get a Dorkboard and eventually just the Benito talking to this Nordic nRF2401A breakout board from Sparkfun. After hacking on it a for a few days and today at the Open Lab and even more hacking at home I finally have the example program working! I'm attaching the source for the Arduino sketch for anyone else trying to do the same thing.

Other things to note:

• Link to the Code.
• The Nordic board needs 3.3v. Don is running the Benito and Dorkboard at 3.3v (see here) to make things simple.
• Pin config (Nordic board (Left to Right), Pin on Dorkboard, Arduino Pin Number for digitalWrite)
  • GND, 22, NA
  • DATA, 11, 5
  • CLK1, 6, 4
  • DR1, 5, 3
  • CS, 9, 6
  • CE, 13, 7
  • VCC, 7, NA

DataSheets:

• Nordic RF2401A
• ATMega 168v

Random lesson learned from this project so far: Think about timing, and remember that doing serial debugging statements will really putz up your timings! ;)
