Chat Code NRF

This document describes an nRF serial chat program that allows simple wireless communication between two devices. It reads serial input, chops it into payloads of up to 32 bytes, and sends it over nRF24L01 radios. Received payloads are displayed on the serial monitor and an LCD. The program handles buffer overflow cases when input is longer than the payload size.

nRF Serial Chat

Desc :
I worte this simple interactive serial chat over nRF that can be used for both s
ender
and receiver as I swapped the TX & RX addr during read/write operation.
It read input from Serial Monitor and display the output to the other side
Serial Monitor or 16x2 LCD (if available)... like a simple chat program.
Max payload is 32 bytes for radio but the serialEvent will chopped the entire bu
ffer
for next payload to be sent out sequentially.
