Detailed Functions
1.1   Fixed-point launch

Broadcast launch

5.3 Broadcast address
For example: Set the address of module A as 0xFFFF or 0x0000, and the channel as 0x04; When the module is the transmitter (transparent transmission), all modules under channel 0x04 will receive the data, the purpose of broadcast is realized.
5.4 Monitor address
For example: Set the address of module A as 0xFFFF or 0x0000, and the channel as 0x04; When module A is the receiver, it can receive the data sent from all modules under channel 0x04, the purpose of a monitor is realized.
5.5 STB details
STB is used for wireless sending &receiving buffer instructions and power- on configuration instructions. STB indicates whether the module with data has not been transmitted by wireless, or whether the received wireless data has not been totally transmitted through the serial port, or whether the module is powered up during the configuration process.
5.5.1 Instructions during configuration
The module is powered will be in configuration mode automatically, at which stage STB is high until the configuration mode is exited
5.5.2 Wireless transmit an instruction
The wireless is in the sending state and the sending light will light up. The wireless is in the receiving state and the received light will be lit.

Hardware design

• It is recommended to use DC regulatory power supply to power the module, the power ripple coefficient is as small as possible, the module needs to be reliably grounded;
• Please notice that the correct connection of the power supply positive and negative poles, such as back-linking, may cause permanent damage to the module;
• Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended supply voltage, if the maximum value is exceeded, the module will be permanently damaged;
• Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not fluctuate significantly and frequently;
• When designing power supply circuits for modules, it is often recommended to retain more than 30% of the residual amount and the whole machine is good for long-term stable operation;
• The module should be kept as far away as possible from the power supply, transformers, high-frequency wiring, and other parts of the electromagnetic interference;
• High-frequency digital wiring, high-frequency analog wiring, the power cable must avoid the module below if you really need to go under the module, suppose the module is welded under the Top Layer, in the module contact part of the Top Layer paved copper (all copper paved and well-grounded), must be close to the module digital part and the wire in The bottom Layer;
• Assuming that the module is welded or placed on Top Layer, it is also wrong to walk freely on the bottom Layer or other layers, which can affect the stray and reception sensitivity of the module to varying degrees;
• Assuming that there is a large electromagnetic interference around the module of the device will also greatly affect the performance of the module, with the intensity of interference recommended appropriately away from the module, if circumstances permit to do appropriate isolation and shielding;
• Assuming that there is a large electromagnetic interference around the module (high-frequency digital, high-frequency analog, power cable) will also greatly affect the performance of the module, with the intensity of interference recommended appropriately away from the module, if circumstances permit to do appropriate isolation and shielding;
• If the communication line uses a 5V level, the 1k-5.1k resistor must be connected in series (not recommended, there is still a risk of damage);
• Try to stay away from some physical layers also 2.4GHz TTL protocol, e.g. USB 3.0; Antenna installation structure has a great impact on module performance, it is necessary to ensure that the antenna is exposed and preferably vertical upward;
• When the module is installed inside the enclosure, the antenna can be extended to the outside of the enclosure using a high-quality antenna extension cable;
• The antenna must not be installed inside the metal case, which will result in a significant reduction in transmission distance.

10 FQA
10.1 The transmission distance is not ideal

• When there is a straight-line communication barrier, the communication distance will be attenuated accordingly;
• Temperature, humidity, same frequency interference, will lead to an increased loss rate of communication;
• Ground absorption, a reflection of radio waves, close to the ground test results are poor;
• The seawater has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so the seaside test effect is poor; there is a metal object near the antenna, or placed in a metal shell, the signal attenuation will be very serious;
• The power register is set incorrectly and the air rate is set too high (the higher the air rate, the closer the distance);
• The low voltage of the power supply at room temperature is lower than the recommended value and the lower the voltage, the lower the power;
• Using the antenna to match the module poorly or the quality of the antenna itself is a problem.

10.2 Module is easy to be damaged

• Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended supply voltage, if the maximum value is exceeded, the module will be permanently damaged;
• Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not fluctuate significantly and frequently;
• Make sure that the installation process is anti-static operation, high-frequency device static sensitivity;
• Make sure that the humidity of the installation process should not be too high, some components are humidity-sensitive devices; If there are no special needs, it is not recommended to use at high or low temperatures.

10.3 BER(Bit Error Rate) is high

• There is the same frequency signal interference nearby, away from the source of interference or modify the frequency, channel to avoid interference;
• The power supply is not ideal may also cause garbled code, it is necessary to ensure the reliability of the power supply;
• Extension cords, feeders of poor quality or too long, will also result in a high error rate.
