+// SPI function requirements
+//
+// The user must define a function to send one byte of data and also return the
+//   resulting byte of data data through the SPI port. The function used here 
+//   has the function prototype
+//
+//        unsigned char spi_send_read_byte(unsigned char byte);
+//
+// This function should take the argument unsigned char byte and send it through
+//   the SPI port to the 24L01.  Then, it should wait until the 24L01 has returned
+//   its response over SPI.  This received byte should be the return value of the
+//   function.
+//
+// You should also change the include file name below to whatever the name of your

+// Delay function requirements
+//
+// The user must define a function that delays for the specified number of 
+//     microseconds. This function needs to be as precise as possible, and the use
+//   of a timer module within your microcontroller is highly recommended. The 
+//   function used here has the prototype
+//
+//        void delay_us(unsigned int microseconds);
+//
+// You should also change the include file name below to whatever the name of your

+// IO pin definitions
+//
+// Below you will find several definitions and includes.  The first is an #include
+//   for your microcontroller's include file to allow you to use register names 
+//   rather than numbers.  The next three are to allow you to control the pins on
+//   the 24L01 that aren't automatically handled by SPI.  These are CE, CSN, and
+//   IRQ.
+//
+// The general format of these defines is a define for the IO register the pin is
+//   attached to.  The second define is a mask for the pin.  For example, say that
+//   your CE pin is tied to an IO port with the register name IOPORT1. Also, let's
+//   say that the IO port is 8-bits wide, and you have attached the pin to pin 0 of
+//   the port.  Then your define would look like this:
+//
+//     #define nrf24l01_CE_IOREGISTER        IOPORT1
+//   #define nrf24l01_CE_PINMASK        0x01
+//
+// If you have defines in your include file for individual IO pins, you could use
+//   this define in this file, as well.  Using the previous example, assume that in
+//   your microcontroller's include file, pin 0 of IOPORT1 has a define like this
+//
+//   #define IOPORT1_PIN0    0x01
+//
+// Then, you could make your defines for the CE pin in this file look like this:
+//
+//     #define nrf24l01_CE_IOREGISTER        IOPORT1
+//   #define nrf24l01_CE_PINMASK        IOPORT1_PIN0
+//
+// You should also change the include file name below to whatever the name of your 
+//   processor's register definition include file is.
