When I tried the MiRF with a PIC I connected all the signals.
You do need the resistors for SPI, as the nRF2401 isn’t actually SPI-compatible unless you use them. I didn’t use them as I was bit-banging the interface.
THe connections will be similar if you bit-bang the interface instead of using SPI. It’ll be much easier if you use a 3V AVR, as you won’t need the level conversion.
But it is a requirment to use the atmega128 and the stk300 so I have to follow the schematic and need the trully connections to not cause any damage on the 2 unique transceivers I have.
Do you think that it is better to use bit-banged than SPI clocking?
ok, software is simpler using SPI because it is not needed to make a click signal by hand right, but does SPI has any disadvantage when compared with bit-banged?
