97/// \class RH_NRF905 RH_NRF905.h <RH_NRF905.h>
98/// \brief Send and receive unaddressed, unreliable datagrams by nRF905 and compatible transceivers.
99///
100/// This base class provides basic functions for sending and receiving unaddressed, unreliable datagrams
101/// of arbitrary length to 28 octets per packet. Use one of the Manager classes to get addressing and
102/// acknowledgement reliability, routing, meshes etc.
103///
104/// The nRF905 transceiver is configured to use Enhanced Shockburst with 16 Bit CRC, and 32 octet packets.
105///
106/// Naturally, for any 2 radios to communicate that must be configured to use the same frequency
107/// and with identical network addresses.
108///
109/// The nRF905 from Nordic Semiconductor http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Sub-1-GHz-RF/nRF905
110/// (http://www.nordicsemi.com/jpn/nordic/content_download/2452/29528/file/Product_Specification_nRF905_v1.5.pdf)
111/// is a low-cost 433/868/915 MHz ISM transceiver module. It supports a number of channel frequencies at
112/// 100kHz deviation and 50kHz bandwidth with Manchester encoding.
113///
114/// We tested with inexpensive nRF905 modules from eBay, similar to:
115/// http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Free-ship-NRF905-433MHz-Wireless-Transmission-Module-Transceiver-Module-with-Antenna-for-the-433MHz-ISM-band/513046_607163305.html
116///
117/// This library provides functions for sending and receiving messages of up to 27 octets on any
118/// frequency supported by the nRF905.
119///
120/// Several nRF905 modules can be connected to an Arduino, permitting the construction of translators
121/// and frequency changers, etc.
122///
123/// Example Arduino programs are included to show the main modes of use.
124///
125/// \par Packet Format
126///
127/// All messages sent and received by this class conform to this fixed length packet format
128///
129/// - 4 octets NETWORK ADDRESS
130/// - 32 octets PAYLOAD, consisting of:
131/// - 1 octet TO header
132/// - 1 octet FROM header
133/// - 1 octet ID header
134/// - 1 octet FLAGS header
135/// - 1 octet user message length header
136/// - 0 to 27 octets of user message, trailing octets after the user message length are ignored
137/// - 2 octets CRC
138///
139/// All messages sent and received by this driver are 32 octets. The user message length is embedded in the message.
140///
141/// \par Connecting nRF905
142///
143/// The nRF905 is a 3.3V part is is *NOT* 5V tolerant. So you MUST use a 3.3V CPU such as Teensy, Arduino Due etc
144/// or else provide for level shifters between the CPU and the nRF905. Failure to consider this will probably
145/// break your nRF905.
146///
147/// The electrical connection between the nRF905 and the CPU require 3.3V, the 3 x SPI pins (SCK, SDI, SDO),
148/// a Chip Enable pin, a Transmit Enable pin and a Slave Select pin.
149///
150/// The examples below assume the commonly found cheap Chinese nRF905 modules. The RH_RF905 driver assumes the
151/// the nRF905 has a 16MHz crystal.
152///
153/// Connect the nRF905 to Teensy (or Arduino with suitable level shifters) like this
154/// \code
155/// CPU nRF905 module
156/// 3V3----------VCC (3.3V)
157/// pin D8-----------CE (chip enable in)
158/// pin D9-----------TX_EN (transmit enable in)
159/// SS pin D10----------CSN (chip select in)
160/// SCK pin D13----------SCK (SPI clock in)
161/// MOSI pin D11----------MOSI (SPI Data in)
162/// MISO pin D12----------MISO (SPI data out)
163/// GND----------GND (ground in)
164/// \endcode
165///
166/// Caution: Arduino Due is a 3.3V part and is not 5V tolerant (so too is the nRF905 module
167/// so they can be connected directly together. Unlike other Arduinos the Due has it default SPI
168/// connections on a dedicated 6 pin SPI header in the center of the board, which is
169/// physically compatible with Uno, Leonardo and Mega2560. A little dot marks pin 1 on the header.
170/// You must connect to these
171/// and *not* to the usual Arduino SPI pins Digital 11, 12 and 13.
172/// See http://21stdigitalhome.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/arduino-due-hardware-spi.html
173///
174/// Connect the nRF905 to Arduino Due like this
175/// \code
176/// CPU nRF905 module
177/// 3V3----------VCC (3.3V)
178/// pin D8-----------CE (chip enable in)
179/// pin D9-----------TX_EN (transmit enable in)
180/// SS pin D10----------CSN (chip select in)
181/// SCK on SPI header pin 3----------SCK (SPI clock in)
182/// MOSI on SPI header pin 4----------MOSI (SPI Data in)
183/// MISO on SPI header pin 1----------MISO (SPI data out)
184/// GND----------GND (ground in)
185/// \endcode
186///
187/// and you can then use the default constructor RH_NRF905().
188/// You can override the default settings for the CE, TX_EN and CSN pins
189/// in the NRF905() constructor if you wish to connect the slave select CSN to other than the normal one for your
190/// CPU.
191///
192/// It is possible to have 2 radios conected to one CPU, provided each radio has its own
193/// CSN, TX_EN and CE line (SCK, MOSI and MISO are common to both radios)
194///
195/// \par Transmitter Power
196///
197/// You can control the transmitter power to be one of 4 power levels: -10, -2, 6 or 10dBm,
198/// using the setRF() function, eg:
199/// \code
200/// nrf905.setRF(RH_NRF905::TransmitPower10dBm);
201/// \endcode
202///
203/// We have made some actual power measurements against
204/// programmed power for an nRF905 module from www.rfinchina.com under the following conditions:
205/// - Teensy 3.1
206/// - nRF905 module (with SMA antenna connector) wired to Teensy as described above, channel 108.
207/// - 20cm SMA-SMA cable
208/// - MiniKits AD8307 HF/VHF Power Head (calibrated against Rohde&Schwartz 806.2020 test set)
209/// - Tektronix TDS220 scope to measure the Vout from power head
210/// \code
211/// Program power Measured Power
212/// dBm dBm
213/// -10 -16
214/// -2 -8
215/// 6 0
216/// 10 8
217/// \endcode
218/// (Caution: we dont claim laboratory accuracy for these measurements)
219/// You would not expect to get anywhere near these powers to air with a simple 1/4 wavelength wire antenna.
220///
221/// \par Example programs
222///
223/// Several example programs are provided. They work out of the box with Teensy 3.1 and Arduino Due
224/// connected as show above.
225///
226/// \par Radio Performance
227///
228/// Frequency accuracy may be debatable.
229///
230/// \par Memory
231///
232/// Memory usage of this class is minimal. The compiled client and server sketches are about 16000 bytes on Teensy.
233///
