Very simple communication using transciever MRF24J40MA with pic 16F690

Hello,

Did siomeone already made an application interfacing the MRF24j40MA transciever from microchip with a pic 16f?
I would need to implement a start topology for very simple data transmission.

For my lasergame I would need all guns to contact the main/central device to check if the gun operator is still enabled/alive and if not then the gun can't be operated.

So my PIC16F690 based equipment should use very simple protocol to communicate with other modules. I don't need Zigbee or Miwi protocols.
I just need to transmit one byte, not even encrypted.

I've checked the web for some examples but found none. Before starting to study the whole stuff I would need to k,ow first if this transciever is the stuff I need or if I should find an alternate communication system.

Any ideas are welcome.
