RX and TX in Raspi0

This python code implements a RX and Tx for the RF24 module.

The code implements two diiferent transmision types:

Single point to point communication: It transmites a compressed file from rx to tx using a basic stop&wait with the builtin ACK
Network comunication: Several nodes try to collaborate to transmit the file, the nodes do a network discovery. You can check the protocol specification on the pdf.
