Can you use a nRF2401 without configuring it?

I’ve bought the HT-12D and HT-12E decoder/encoder as suggested below, and have realized how naive I am.

I have no development board to use with the RF-24G and am unable to configure the transceiver to send data or receive data for that matter.

Is there a way to send data with out any configuration of the nRF2401?

Similiar to http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/ … emote.html.

The end goal is to simply turn on and off a device.

I am desperate, any advice is greatly appreciated.

In theory, yes, as long as the PWR_UP pin is active. However, by default, the 2401 chips come up as receivers, so you wouldn’t be able to send any data unless you send at least some configuration.
