4. Basic Operation

4.1 Hardware Design

 It is recommended to use DC stabilized power supply to s upply 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 posit ive and negative poles of the power supply. If the reverse

connection is connected, the module may be permanently damaged.

 Please check the power supply to ensure that between the recommended supply voltage, if exceeding the maximu m,

the module will be permanently damaged.

 Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage can not be significantly frequent.  When designing the power s upply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30% of the

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. E73-2G4M04S1D User manual

6

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

 The module should be as far away as possible from the power s upply, transformers, 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 neces s ary to pass through the module, as s ume that the module is soldered to the Top Layer, and the copper is

spread on the Top Layer of the module contact part(All copper-covered and well grounded), and must be close to the

digital part of the module and routed in the Bottom Layer.

 As suming the module is s oldered or placed in the Top Layer, it is also wrong to randomly route the Bottom Layer or

other layers, which will affect the module's s purs and receiving sens itivity to varying degrees.

 As sume that there are traces with large electromagnetic interference around the module (high -frequency digital, high-

frequency analog, power trace), which will greatly affect the performance of the modu le. It is recommended to stay

away from the module according to the strength of the interference. If possible, you can do it properly. Isolation and

shielding

 If the communication line us es a 5V level, a 1k-5.1k resistor mus t be connected in series (not recommended, there is

still a risk of damage).

 Try to s tay away from some phys ical layers and also have a 2.4GHz TTL protocol, for example: USB3.0  The antenna mounting s tructure has a great influence on the performance of the module. It is necess ary to ensur e that

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

extens ion cable to extend the antenna to the outside of the case.

 The antenna must not be installed inside the metal case, which will greatly reduce the transmiss ion distance.

4.2 Software Programming

 The core of this module is nRF52832, which is completely equivalent to nRF52832. Users can operate according to

the nRF52832 chip manual (see nRF52832 manual for details).

 Because the officially provided programming tool nRFgo Studio has poor compatibility, it is recommended to use J-

LINK-V8 or above for program burning.

 About the issue that the old model can be programmed, while the new model can't be programmed, It is because the

new model being added with read/write protection during production. It needs to be properly connected to the line

and then use the official nRFgo Studio for Recover (Jlink s upports the official nRFgo). Studio), as shown below:

5. FAQ

5.1 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 abs orb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when tes ting near ground.  Sea water has great ability in abs orbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when tes ting near the sea.  The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal cas e.  Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the d istance).  When the power s upply at room temperature is lower than the recommended low voltage, the lower the voltage is,

the lower the transmitting power is.

 Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.

5.2 Module is easy to damage

 Please check the power supply and ens ure it is within the recommended range. Voltage higher than the peak will lead

to a permanent damage to the module.

 Please check the stability of power supply and ens ure the voltage not to fluctuate too much.  Please make sure anti-static measures are taken when installing and using, high frequency devices have electrostatic

susceptibility.

 Please ensure the humidity is within limited range for some parts are sensitive to humidity.  Please avoid us ing modules under too high or too low temperature.

5.3 High bit error rate

 There are co-channel signal interference nearby, keep away from interference sources or modify frequency, channel

to avoid interference.

 Unsatisfactory power supply may also cause garbled characters, and ensure the reliability of the power supply.  If the extens ion cable or feeder is of poor quality or too long, the bit error rate will be high.
