Introduction¶
Design Goals¶
This library fork is designed to be…
More compliant with the manufacturer specified operation of the chip, while allowing advanced users to work outside the recommended operation.
Utilize the capabilities of the radio to their full potential via Arduino
More reliable, responsive, bug-free and feature rich
Easy for beginners to use, with well documented examples and features
Consumed with a public interface that’s similar to other Arduino standard libraries
News¶
See the releases’ descriptions on the library’s release page for a list of changes.
