| Jan 11, 2016 at 16:26 | comment | added | whatsisname | @ChrisStratton: That doesn't matter, as the Microcontroller on that sparkfun device bridges the USB->SPI gap. | |
| Jan 8, 2016 at 2:43 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | The data sheet clearly specifies that the NRF24L01+ is an SPI device, so the claim that it never specifies a synchronous interface is patently false. And that fact is extremely relevant as the poster's problem is that they are trying to use an asynchronous interface to control a synchronous device... something that obviously won't work. | |

| Jan 6, 2016 at 18:05 | comment | added | whatsisname | Far more likely is that the MegaAVR has some firmware on it that talks to the nordic chip and provides some rudimentary SPI over USB functionality, as the pictured FTDI is the FT232RL which doesn't have SPI capability. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 15:35 | comment | added | Andy aka | @ChrisStratton I neither agree with your conclusion nor see the relevance. At not one point in the pdf for the device does the word "synchronous" appear. So, on what are you basing your comment? | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 15:14 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | The nrf24L01/+ is a synchronous serial device, not an asynchronous one with which a normal USB serial can work. The sparkfun board appears to be using a more advanced ftdi part with the mpssi or whatever they call it to implement spi. | |

| Jan 6, 2016 at 14:07 | comment | added | user3473406 | Thanks for a very detailed answer! Gutted that the Nordic Interface is no longer available would have made life alot easier! | |
