#include <RFPowerView.h>
// These define which pins should be used to communicate with the nRF24L01 board
#define RF_CE_PIN 5

#define RF_IRQ_PIN 4
// Copied from Powerview Hub userdata API. Open http://POWERVIEW_HUB_IP_ADDRESS/api/userdata/ and find the field labeled "rfID"

See [PowerViewSniffer](https://github.com/mattyway/PowerViewSniffer/) for a more complete example.

## Protocol

A PowerView packet consists of a header (which contains a variable length address section), a variable length payload, and a two byte checksum at the end. Each packet is limited to being at most 32 bytes due to limitations of the nRF24L01 module.
