Documented Code

Arduino Nano Code (sketch.ino)

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

This code template provides the basic structure for the Arduino sketch. The setup() function is intended to contain initialization code that runs once at the start, while the loop() function contains code that runs continuously in a loop. Users should add specific code to initialize the SPI interface and handle communication with the NRF24L01 module within these functions.
