[TriEmbed] Failed transmission with NRF24L01+

[Nick Meyer]

Well, it didn't fix it.  But something interesting is happening now.  It
fails very predictably now.

When pressing one button at at time, it will fail when pressing the button
and succeed when releasing the button.  When pressing multiple at once, it
fails completely.  I tried this over and over and this was the case every
time.

At least its predictable now!
