Goals

The goal of this project is to emulate the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite (via it's IEEE 802.15.4 protocol) and interpret the commands from Canon transceiver so that the Paul C Buff - Einstein light can be controlled with the Canon gear.

1 - VCC

2 - GND

3 - CE

4 - CSN

5 - SCK

6 - MOSI

7 - MISO

8 - IRQ

Upon power up the following commands are sent to the CSXCV by the Einstein

001 01010

001 = W_REGISTER

01010 = 0x0A = Register map RX_ADDR_P0

RX_ADDR_P0 = 0xC7B6A5

001 01011

001 = W_REGISTER

01011 = 0x0B = Register map RX_ADDR_P1

RX_ADDR_P1 = 0xFCFBFA

001 01100

001 = W_REGISTER

01100 = 0x0C = Register map RX_ADDR_P2

RX_ADDR_P2 = 0xF1

Flash command from CyberCommander

I figured out how to emulate a Canon 600EX-RT slave registering to a master. Check it out!

Am I doing this right? I'm not getting anything at all. It says "Starting" and then nothing at all... Other NRF24 lib examples work with my arduino, but mine doesn't even print the radio config like it should before it enters the loop.
