You don't actually _need_ the SPinTerface, but without it you need a
separate power source. It would be handy, though.

This is the easy part of the electronics, just some simple logic. The
transmitter and receiver are much harder, believe me. They aren't just
single parts but complex circuits that somehow modulate and demodulate
the data.
