Having a slow day at work I decided to work on the pin settings and a test sketch for this set up. It really is only a blown-up blink sketch with inputs. While it does not sound like much, this is something I normally do on putting it together, realizing I failed too remember that I can't place those leds on the SPI and so on... 

[updated] I integrated the code bits of the rf24 library and wrote some bits for the channel selection by the dip switch.
