##Intro
The Ansluta line of Ikea lamps only let u use one remote controller for each light.
The Ansluta (OMLOP) line of Ikea lamps only let u use one remote controller for each light.
I wanted to use multiple remote's to control one string of lights.
Another caveat of the original remotes is that it can only cycle through the different brightness levels. It cycles though: 0% - 50% - 100% - 50% - 0% - ....
I would like to turn it on to 50% brightness and turn it off without cycling to 100%.

###Sniffing SPI
I had a look inside an orginal Ansluta remote, it uses an texas instrument uC ([MSP430G2221](http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/msp430g2131.pdf)) and an CC2500.

The prototype code simply sends the necessary signals to turn the lights on and off in an endless loop (for testing purposes).
Now that the prototype works it's time to make a couple of remote's to control the light.
It's needed to remark that the givven code uses the addres that my original Ikea remote has. Somewhere within the 8 bytes that are sent in a burst will be an unique identifier. Without another remote to compare it to I don't know what the identifier is. (Probably there will also be a sort of error detection like CRC).
