Flasher program to be used with optiboot for nRF24L01.
This is a fork of the flasher program provided by @balrog-kun, modified in order to make it compatible with the Arduino IDE.
You can either download directly one the prebuilt .hex files attached in the releases page and manually upload it to your arduino with avrdude.
Or, you can retrieve the sources from this repository on your computer, open the optiboot-nrf24l01-flasher.ino file, and building from the Arduino IDE.

Compiler
This program is to be deployed on an arduino that will serve as gateway between avrdude on your computer and the targetted wireless node.
It expects a nRF24L01 module to be connected to the computer-side arduino as described in the following table. More information on wiring can be found here https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/Nrf24L01-2.4GHz-HowTo, and pin information can be changed in the optiboot-nrf24l01-flasher.ino file.
