5.2 Broadcasting transmission

5.3 Broadcasting address

 For example: Set the address of module A as 0xFFFF or 0x0000, and the channel as 0x04;

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E32 -868T20D user manual

 When 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

monitor is realized.

5.5 Reset

 When the module is powered, AUX outputs low level immediately, conducts hardware self-check and sets the

operating mode based on user’s parameters. During the process, the AUX remains low level. After the process

completed, the AUX outputs high level and starts to work as per the operating mode combined by M1 and M0.

Therefore, users need to wait the AUX rising edge as the start of module’s normal work.

5.6 AUX description

 AUX Pin can be used as indication for wireless send & receive buffer and self-check.  It can indicate whether there are data that are not sent yet via wireless way, or whether all wireless data has been

sent through UART, or whether the module is still in the process of self-check initialization.

Description

1

For function 1 & function 2 mentioned above, the priority should be given to the one with low level output, which means if it

meets each of any low level output condition, AUX outputs low level, if none of the low level condition is met, AUX outputs high level.

2

When AUX outputs low level, it means the module is busy & cannot conduct operating mode checking. Within 1ms since AUX outputs high level, the mode switch will be completed.

3

After switching to new operating mode, it will not work in the new mode immediately until AUX rising edge lasts for 2ms . If AUX stays on the high level, the operating mode switch can be effected immediately.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E32 -868T20D user manual

more details on parameter specification.

6.1 Mode switch

 The user can decide the operating mode by the combination of M1 and M0. The two GPIO of MCU can be used to

switch mode. After modifying M1 or M0, it will start to work in new mode 1ms later if the module is free. If there

are any serial data that are yet to finish wireless transmitting, it will start to work in new mode after the UART

transmitting finished. After the module receives the wireless data & transmits the data through serial port, it will

start to work in new mode after the transmitting finished. Therefore, the mode-switch is only valid when AUX outputs 1, otherwise it will delay.

 For example, in mode 0 or mode 1, if the user inputs massive data consecutively and switches operating mode at the

same time, the mode-switch operation is invalid. New mode checking can only be started after all the user’s data

process completed. It is recommended to check AUX pin out status and wait 2ms after AUX outputs high level

before switching the mode.

 If the module switches from other modes to stand-by mode, it will work in stand-by mode only after all the

remained data process completed. The feature can be used to save power consumption. For example, when the

transmitter works in mode 0, after the external MCU transmits data “12345”, it can switch to sleep mode

immediately without waiting the rising edge of the AUX pin, also the user’s main MCU will go dormancy

immediately. Then the module will transmit all the data through wireless transmission & go dormancy 1ms later

automatically, which reduces MCU working time & save power.

 Likewise, this feature can be used in any mode-switch. The module will start to work in new mode within 1ms after

completing present mode task, which enables the user to omit the procedure of AUX inquiry and switch mode

swiftly. For example, when switching from transmitting mode to receiving mode, the user MCU can go dormancy

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E32 -868T20D user manual

before mode-switch, using external interrupt function to get AUX change so that the mode-switch can be realized.

 This operation is very flexible and efficient. It is totally designed on the basis of the user MCU’s convenience, at the

same time the work load and power consumption of the whole system have been reduced and the efficiency of

whole system is largely improved.

6.2 Normal mode (mode 0)

When M1 = 0 & M0 = 0, module works in mode 0

Transmitting

The module can receive the user data via serial port, and transmit wireless data package of 58 bytes. When the data inputted by user is up to 58 byte, the module will start wireless transmission. During which the user can input data continuously for transmission. When the required transmission bytes are less than 58 bytes, the module will wait 3-byte time and treat it as data termination unless continuous data inputted by user. Then the module will transmit all the data through wireless channel. When the module receives the first data packet from user, the AUX outputs low level. After all the data are transmitted into RF chip and transmission start , AUX outputs high level. At this time, it means that the last wireless data package transmission is started, which enables the user to input another 512 bytes continuously. The data package transmitted from the module working in mode 0 can only be received by the module working in mode 0 or 1.

Receiving

The wireless receiving function of the module is on, the data packet transmitted from the module working in mode 0 & mode 1 can be received. After the data packet is received, the AUX outputs low level, 5ms later the module starts to transmit wireless data through serial port TXD pin. After all the wireless data have been transmitted via serial port, the AUX outputs high level.

6.3 Wake-up mode (mode 1)

When M1 = 0 & M0 = 1, module works in mode 1

Transmitting

The condition of data packet transmission & AUX function is the same as mode 0. The only difference is that the module will add preamble code before each data packet automatically. The preamble code length depends on the wake-up time set in the user parameters. The purpose of the preamble code is waking up the receiving module works in mode 2. Therefore, the data package transmitted from mode 1 can be received by mode 0, mode1 and mode 2.

Receiving

The same as that in mode 0.

6.4 Power-saving mode (mode 2)

When M1 = 1 & M0 = 0, module works in mode 2

Transmitting

UART is closed, the module cannot receive any serial port data from outside MCU. Hence the function of wireless transmission is not available for the module working in this mode.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E32 -868T20D user manual

Receiving

In mode 2, it is required the data transmitter works in mode 1. The wireless module monitors the preamble code at regular time. Once it gets the preamble code, it will remain as receiving status and waiting for the completion of receiving the entire valid data package. Then the AUX outputs low level, 5ms later the serial port is open to transmit received wireless data through TXD. Finally, AUX outputs high level after process completed. The wireless module stays in “power-saving – monitoring” working status (polling). By setting different wake-up time, the module will have different receiving response delay (2s in maximum) and average power consumption (30uA in minimum). The user needs to achieve a balance between communication delay time & average power consumption.

8. Hardware design

 It is recommended to use a DC stabilized power supply. The power supply ripple factor 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. Reverse

connection may cause permanent damage to the module；

 Please check the power supply to ensure it is within the recommended voltage otherwise when it exceeds the

maximum value the module will be permanently damaged；

 Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not be fluctuated frequently；  When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30% of the

margin, so the whole machine is beneficial for long-term stable operation.；

 The module should be as far away as possible from the power supply, transformers, high-frequency wiring and other

parts with large electromagnetic interference.；

 High-frequency digital routing, high-frequency analog routing, and power routing must be avoided under the

module. If it is necessary to pass through the module, assume that the module is soldered to the Top Layer, and the

copper is spread on the Top Layer of the module contact part(well grounded), it must be close to the digital part of

the module and routed in the Bottom Layer；

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E32 -868T20D user manual

 Assuming the module is soldered or placed over the Top Layer, it is wrong to randomly route over 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. It is recommended to keep them away from the module according to the strength of the

interference. If necessary, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done；

 Assume that there are traces with large electromagnetic interference (high-frequency digital, high-frequency analog,

power traces) around the module that will greatly affect the performance of the module. It is recommended to stay

away from the module according to the strength of the interference.If necessary, appropriate isolation and shielding

can be done.

 If the communication line uses a 5V level, a 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 such as TTL protocol at 2.4GHz , for example: USB3.0；  The mounting structure of antenna has a great influence on the performance of the module. It is necessary to ensure

that the antenna is exposed, preferably vertically upward. When the module is mounted inside the case, use a good

antenna extension cable to extend the antenna to the outside；

 The antenna must not be installed inside the metal case, which will cause the transmission distance to be greatly

9.1 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.

9.2 Module is easy to damage

 Please check the power supply to ensure that it is between the recommended power supply voltage. If the maximum

value is exceeded, the module will be permanently damaged.

 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.

9.3 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;

10 Production guidance

This type is DIP module, when the welder welds the module, he must be welding according to the anti-static

regulation. This product is allergic to static, randomly welding the module will have the chance of damaging it

permanently.
