Chapter 4 Basic operation

Hardware design

DC regulated power supply is recommended to power the module, the ripple coefficient of the power supply should be as small as possible, and the module should be reliably grounded;
Please pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles of the power supply, such as the reverse connection may cause permanent damage to the module;
Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended power supply voltage, if the maximum value is exceeded, it will cause permanent damage to the module;
Please check the stability of the power supply. The voltage should not fluctuate greatly and frequently;
In the design of power supply circuit for modules, it is often recommended to retain more than 30% of the allowance, which is conducive to long-term and stable work;
The module should be far away from the power supply, transformers, high-frequency wiring and other parts with greater electromagnetic interference;
High-frequency digital wiring, high-frequency analog wiring and power wiring must avoid the Bottom Layer of the module. If it is really necessary to pass through the Bottom Layer of the module, assuming that the module is welded on the Top Layer, the Top Layer in the contact part of the module must be copper paved (all copper paved and well grounded), close to the digital part of the module and wire in the Bottom Layer;
It is also a mistake to assume that modules are soldered or placed in the Top Layer and that random wiring in the Bottom Layer or other layers will affect module stray and reception sensitivity to varying degrees; If there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module, it will also greatly affect the performance of the module. According to the intensity of the interference, it is recommended to stay away from the module appropriately. If the situation permits, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done;
If there are wires (high frequency digital, high-frequency analog, power supply wiring) around the module that have large electromagnetic interference, it will also greatly affect the performance of the module. According to the intensity of the interference, it is recommended to stay away from the module appropriately. If the situation permits, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done;
Try to stay away from part of the TTL protocol which is also 2.4GHz physical layer such as USB3.0;
Antenna installation structure has a great impact on module performance, be sure to ensure that the antenna is exposed, preferably vertical upward. When the module is installed inside the housing, the antenna can be extended to the outside of the housing by using the high-quality antenna extension cord;
Antenna must not be installed inside the metal shell, will lead to the transmission distance greatly weakened.

Programming

This module is CMT2300A, and its drive mode is SPI. Users can operate in accordance with the CMT2300A chip book;
GPIO1/GPIO2/GPIO3 is a general I/O port, see CMT2300A manual for detail

Hardware design & schematics

Chapter 6 FAQ

Transmission distance

When there is a linear communication barrier, the communication distance will decay accordingly;
Temperature, humidity and the same frequency interference will lead to the increase of communication packet loss rate;
The ground absorbs and reflects radio waves, and the test results are poor near the ground;
Sea water has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so the seaside test results are poor;
If there are metal objects near the antenna or placed in a metal shell, the signal attenuation will be very serious;
Power register set wrong, air speed set too high (the higher the air speed, the closer the distance);
At indoor temperature, the power supply low voltage is lower than the recommended value, the lower the voltage, the smaller the power;
The use of antenna and module matching degree is poor or the quality of the antenna itself.

Module damage

Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended power supply voltage, if the maximum value is exceeded, it will cause permanent damage to the module;
Please check the stability of the power supply. The voltage should not fluctuate greatly and frequently;
Please ensure anti-static operation during installation and use, and high-frequency devices are static sensitive;
Please ensure that the humidity during installation and use is not too high. Some components are humidity sensitive devices;
If there is no special requirement, it is not recommended to use at too high or too low temperature.

Bit error

If there is interference of the same frequency signal nearby, keep away from the interference source or modify the frequency or channel to avoid interference;
SPI clock waveform is not standard, check whether there is interference on SPI line, SPI bus wiring should not be too long;
Power supply is not ideal may also cause garbled code, be sure to ensure the reliability of the power supply;
Poor or too long extension line, feeder quality, will also cause high bit error rate.
