 *
 * Most standard Arduino based boards are supported:
 * - ATMega 328 based boards (Uno, Nano, etc)
 * - Mega Boards (1280, 2560, etc)
 * - Arduino Due: Must use one of the hardware SS/CSN pins as extended SPI methods are used.
 *  Initial Due support taken from https://github.com/mcrosson/RF24/tree/due
 * - ATTiny board support initially added from https://github.com/jscrane/RF24
 * Note: ATTiny support is built into the library. Do not include SPI.h. <br>
 * See the included examples for more info on using ATTiny with RF24 <br>
 * See https://github.com/TCWORLD/ATTinyCore/tree/master/PCREL%20Patch%20for%20GCC for ATTiny patch
