/**
 * Example RF Radio Ping Pair which Sleeps between Sends
 *
 * This is an example of how to use the RF24 class to create a battery-efficient system.
 * Write this sketch to two different nodes,
 * connect the role_pin to ground on one.  The ping node sends the current time to the pong node,
 * which responds by sending the value back.  The ping node can then see how long the whole cycle
 * took.
