Hardware and Software Notice

Hardware Notice

• It is recommended to use a DC stabilized power supply to supply power to the module. The power supply ripple coefficient is as small as possible, and the module needs to be reliably grounded
• Please pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles of the power supply, such as reverse connection may cause permanent damage to the module;
• Please check the power supply to ensure that it is between the recommended power supply voltage, if exceeding the maximum value will cause permanent damage to the module;
• Please check the power supply stability, the voltage cannot fluctuate significantly and frequently;
• When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30%of the margin, so that the whole machine is conducive to long-term stable work;
• The module should be as far away as possible from the power supply, transformer, high-frequency wiring and other parts with large electromagnetic interference;
• High-frequency digital traces, high-frequency analog traces, and power traces must be avoided under the module. If it is absolutely necessary to pass under the module, it is assumed that the module is soldered to the Top Layer, and copper is laid on the Top Layer of the module contact part (all copper And well grounded), must be close to the digital part of the module and the wiring is on the Bottom Layer;
• Assuming that the module is soldered or placed on the Top Layer, it is also wrong to randomly route on the Bottom Layer or other layers, which will affect the module’s spurs and receiving sensitivity to varying degrees;
• It is assumed that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module that will greatly affect the performance of the module. It is recommended to stay away from the module according to the intensity of the interference. If the situation permits, proper isolation and shielding can be done;
• It is assumed that there are traces with high electromagnetic interference around the module (high-frequency digital, high-frequency analog, and power traces), which will greatly affect the performance of the module. It is recommended to stay away from the module according to the intensity of the interference. Isolation and shielding;
• Try to stay away from the TTL protocol which is also 2.4GHz in some physical layers, for example: USB3.0;
• The antenna installation structure has a great impact on the performance of the module. Make sure that the antenna is exposed, preferably vertically. When the module is installed inside the chassis, you can use high-quality antenna extension cords to extend the antenna to the outside of the chassis;
• The antenna must not be installed inside the metal shell, which will greatly weaken the transmission distance.

Software Notice

• The chip of this module is CMT2300A, and its driving mode is SPI, and users can operate according to the CMT2300AchipDatasheet.
• GPIO1/GPIO2/GPIO3 are general-purpose I/O ports, see CMT2300A Datasheet for details.

FAQ

Communication range is too short

• The communication distance will be affected when obstacle exists.
• Data lose rate will be affected by temperature, humidity and co-channel interference.
• The ground will absorb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when testing near ground.
• Sea water has great ability in absorbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when testing near the sea.
• The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal case.
• Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the distance).
• The power supply low voltage under room temperature is lower than 2.5V, the lower the voltage, the lower the transmitting power.
• Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.

Module is easy to damage

• Please check the power supply source, ensure it is 2.0V~3.6V, voltage higher than 3.6V will damage the module.
• Please check the stability of power source, the voltage cannot fluctuate too much.
• Please make sure antistatic measure are taken when installing and using, high frequency devices have electrostatic susceptibility.
• Please ensure the humidity is within limited range, some parts are sensitive to humidity.
• Please avoid using modules under too high or too low temperature.

BER(Bit Error Rate) is high

• There are co-channel signal interference nearby, please be away from interference sources or modify frequency and channel to avoid interference;
• Poor power supply may cause messy code. Make sure that the power supply is reliable.
• The extension line and feeder quality are poor or too long, so the bit error rate is high;
