Help need with nRF24AP1 and USB ANT stick

Hi everyone,

I am very new to this and I have no idea where to start. what I am trying to do is to be able to establish a connection between two nRF24AP1 units (as a master and slave).

What I have done so far:

  1. Have 2 x nRF24AP1 and 2x USB ANT sticks

  2. Soldered nRF24AP1 to USB ANT stick (tx to tx, rx to rx, gnd to gnd and vcc to 3.3, left RTS on nRF24AP1 free as there is no where to connect it to on the USB ANT stick)

  3. Downloaded the USB drivers from ftdichips.com and installed them

  4. Plugged the USB ANT stick + nRF24AP1 into my computer.

Now how do I begin to program to it?

I have read through most of the documentation and I still dont know what exactly do I need to do to get connectivity to it (HyperTerminal?) and what program do I use to program it?

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be a great help.

Thank you very much

Sincerely,

Laserdude
