Repository for Arduino >= 2.0.4 and MySensors >=2.3.2 Library for building wireless sensor and activators 
used in home automation 


Files that need to be copied to external folder locations before building sketches:

MyRadio_NRF24.h  	(C:/Users/me/Documents/Arduino/libraries/MyMySensors/MyRadio_NRF24.h)

RF24.cpp			(C:\Users\Me\Documents\Arduino\libraries\MySensors\hal\transport\RF24\driver/RF24.cpp )

MyTransport.cpp 	(C:\Users\Me\Documents\Arduino\libraries\MySensors\core/MyTransport.cpp)


File "MyRadio_NRF24.h"  contains the PAN id and other RF related items such as PA-Level and Frequency.
Place the file in a "fake" library folder so that the arduinon IDE can include it from the various sketches.
All sketches must include the same file. After placing the file, make a link in the sketch folders to access the file conveniently.


	File  C:/user/me/Documents/Arduino/libraries/MyMySensors/MyRadio_NRF24.h


File "RF24.cpp" has the modified function "RF24_sendMessage()" that allows the IRQ line to be used during transmission to detect 
when the transmission of a packet is complete, without hammering on the SPI bus constantly. This reduces noise and allows the 
receiver to catch the HW ack signal sent by the reciving node.

Copy the file RF24.cpp to the active MySensor library for the Arduino IDE. The "#define MY_RF24_IRQ_PIN (2)" controls the use of this feature.
	
Path for the MySensor library 2.3:

	File	C:\Users\Me\Documents\Arduino\libraries\MySensors\hal\transport\RF24\driver/RF24.cpp 
 
File "MyTransport.cpp" has a modified  function "transportProcessMessage(void)" to insert a 4ms delay for rx/tx turn around time 
between the reception of a package and the sending out of the ACK for it. See line 706-712. Without this delay the Serial Gateway 
will intermittendly miss receiving the ack pakage. Change only affetcs networks with RF24 hardware.
