I have the following hardware:

Wireless JTAG for MSP430F Programming and Debugging sku: PGM-08684 uses the Nordic nRF24L01 wireless radio coupled with a SAM7 (USB base unit)

- 

RFL Robot Remote sku: ROB-08649 based on the Nordic nRF24L01 2.4GHz chipset. This remote uses a PIC18F2321.

Are there any dll’s in order to use this USB base unit (which is the Transceiver nRF24L01 Olimex USB Dongle sku: WRL-08859) as “work alone as a nRF24L01 USB development board”?

What software and free source code can I use to establish the RF connection and debug?

It would not matter if I cannot program wirelessly the PIC on the gamepad, I can program this one independently. Ultimately I would use this to communicate to the remote controller gamepad.

Thanks a lot for any help/suggestion!
