RGB Matrix with wireless control

[brad]

Hi everyone!

Well I am on holidays at the moment from work and I have had a small amount of time to work on a project. I have been working on a simple little 5cm x 5cm module that plugs into a 32x32 pixel or 16x32 pixel RGB LED display. It takes care of drawing whatever you want on the display, plus it has an nRF24L01+ wireless transceiver module built in and some analog and digital inputs as well. I am programming it all in Swordfish Basic.

These are the displays I am talking about:

And this is the wireless nRF24L01+ module:

Now my plan is to be able to update the screen wirelessly, maybe to update a scrolling message on it, or to play a wireless game on it and so forth. The only problem is that I haven't ever used these wireless modules before and wanted to see if anybody had experience with them?

They interface to the micro controller by SPI which I have had limited experience with. So I guess my initial question here is, has anyone successfully used these wireless devices before?

This is a nice project idea!..
My experience with these are only with Arduino, I was going to get something made up for Swordfish but the project didn't get finished
I do have some great videos which are really worth watching, and very helpful.. I will link below, they should help get you started

Also maybe worth checking out these website links too:

Thanks for that bitfogav, i'll have to give them a good look. I also had a friend I used to work with send me some of his SPI code that he had used in a project last year so I'll put all of this together and see what I can come up with
