8. IRQ: Interrupt (optional, can be used to notify the host microcontroller of events)

Usage Tips:

1. Connecting the Module:
   • Connect the VCC pin to a 3.3V power supply.
   • Connect the GND pin to the ground of your system.
   • Connect the CE, CSN, SCK, MOSI, and MISO pins to the corresponding SPI pins on your microcontroller.
   • The IRQ pin is optional and can be connected to an interrupt pin on your microcontroller if needed.
2. Communication Protocol:
   • Use the SPI protocol to communicate with the NRF24L01+ module. Ensure the microcontroller’s SPI settings match the module’s requirements.
3. Power Considerations:
   • The NRF24L01+ operates at 3.3V. If using a 5V microcontroller, use a level shifter to interface the SPI pins.
