5.3 Broadcast address

 Example: Set the module A address to 0xFFFF and the channel to 0x04.
 When module A is used as a transmitter (same mode, transparent transmission mode), all receiving modules under the 0x04
channel can receive data to achieve the purpose of broadcasting.

5.4 Listening address

 Example: Set the module A address to 0xFFFF and the channel to 0x04.
 When module A is used as a receiver, it can receive all the data under the 0x04 channel to achieve the purpose of monitoring.

5.5 Module reset

 After the module is powered on, AUX will output a low level immediately, perform hardware self-test, and set the working mode
according to user parameters. During this process, the AUX keeps the low level, and after the completion, the AUX outputs the
high level, and starts to work normally according to the working mode formed by the combination of M1 and M0. Therefore, the
user needs to wait for the rising edge of AUX as the starting point for the normal operation of the module.

5.6 Detailed AUX

 AUX is used for wireless transceiver buffer indication and self-check indication.
 It indicates whether the module has data that has not been transmitted wirelessly, or whether the wireless data has been received
and not all sent through the serial port, or the module is in the process of initializing and self-checking.

5.6.1 Serial port data output indication

 Used to wake up the external MCU in sleep ;

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. E32-433T20D User Manual

5.6.2 Wireless transmission indication

 Buffer empty: The data in the internal 512-byte buffer is written to the wireless chip (automatic sub-packet).
 When AUX=1, the user continuously initiates data less than 512 bytes without overflow. When AUX=0, the buffer is not empty:
the data in the internal 512-byte buffer has not been written to the wireless chip and the transmission is started. At this time, the
module may be waiting for the end of the user data to time out, or the wireless packet transmission is in progress. .
 [Note]: When AUX=1, it does not mean that all serial port data of the module has been transmitted wirelessly, or the last packet
of data may be being transmitted.

5.6.3 The module is being configured

 Only at reset and when exiting sleep mode

5.6.4 AUX Notes

 For the above functions 1 and 2, the output low level is given priority, that is, if any one of the output low level conditions is
satisfied, the AUX outputs the low level; when all the low level conditions are not satisfied, the AUX outputs the high level.
 When AUX outputs a low level, it means that the module is busy, and the working mode detection will not be performed at this
time; when the module AUX outputs a high level within 1ms, the mode switching work will be completed.
 After the user switches to the new working mode, the module will enter this mode at least 2ms after the rising edge of AUX; if
AUX is always at a high level, the mode switching will take effect immediately.
 When the user enters other modes from mode 3 (sleep mode) or during the reset process, the module will reset the user
parameters, during which AUX outputs a low level.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. E32-433T20D User Manual

 Due to the characteristics of the LoRa modulation method, the information transmission delay is much longer than that of FSK.
For example, at 1.2kbps airspeed, the transmission delay of 100 bytes is about 1.5 seconds. It is recommended that customers do
not transmit large amounts of data at low airspeeds. , so as not to cause communication exceptions due to data loss caused by
data accumulation.

working parameters.

6.1 Mode switch

 Users can combine M0 and M1 with high and low levels to determine the working mode of the module. 2 GPIOs of MCU can be
used to control mode switching; ,
When M0 and M1 are changed: the module is idle, and after 1ms, it can start to work according to the new mode;
If the module has serial port data that has not been transmitted wirelessly, the new working mode can only be entered after the
transmission is completed;
If the module receives wireless data and sends out data through the serial port, it needs to be sent to the new working mode;
Therefore, the mode switching can only be effective when the AUX output is 1, otherwise the switching will be delayed.
 For example: in mode 0 or mode 1, if the user continuously inputs a large amount of data and switches modes at the same time,
the mode switching operation is invalid at this time;
The module will only perform new mode detection after processing all user data;
So the general suggestion is: Detect the output state of the AUX pin, wait for 2ms after the AUX output high level, and then
switch.
 When the module is switched from other modes to sleep mode, if there is data that has not been processed;
The module can only enter sleep mode after processing these data (including receiving and sending);
This feature can be used for fast sleep to save power consumption; for example: the transmitter module works in mode 0, the
user initiates serial port data "12345", and then does not need to wait for the AUX pin to be idle (high level), and can directly
switch to sleep mode, The main MCU of the user is put to sleep immediately, and the module will automatically go to sleep
within 1ms after sending all the user data wirelessly, thereby saving the working time of the MCU and reducing power
consumption.
 Similarly, any mode switching can use this feature. After the module processes the current mode event, it will automatically enter
the new mode within 1ms;
This saves the user's work of querying AUX, and can achieve the purpose of fast switching;
For example, switching from the transmit mode to the receive mode; the user MCU can also go to sleep in advance before the

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. E32-433T20D User Manual

mode switch, and use the external interrupt function to obtain the AUX change to perform the mode switch.

 This operation mode is very flexible and efficient, and is completely designed according to the user's MCU operation
convenience, and can reduce the workload of the entire system as much as possible, improve system efficiency, and reduce

power consumption.

6.2 General Mode (Mode 0)

type When M0 = 0, M1 = 0, the module works in mode 0

The module receives user data from the serial port, and the length of the wireless data packet transmitted
by the module is 58 bytes. When the amount of data input by the user reaches 58 bytes, the module will
start wireless transmission. At this time, the user can continue to input the data to be transmitted; when
the user needs When the transmitted bytes are less than 58 bytes, the module waits for 3 bytes. If no user
data continues to be input, the data is considered to be terminated. At this time, the module sends all data
emission
packets wirelessly; when the module receives the first user data , the AUX output is low level, when the
module puts all the data into the RF chip and starts the transmission, the AUX output is high level; at this
time, it indicates that the last packet of wireless data has been started to transmit, and the user can
continue to input up to 512 Byte data; data packets sent through mode 0 can only be received by the
receiving module in mode 0 and mode 1.
The module has always turned on the wireless receiving function, and can receive data packets from
mode 0 and mode 1;
take over After receiving the data packet, the module AUX outputs low level, and after a delay of 5ms, it starts to
send wireless data through the serial port TXD pin. After all wireless data is output through the serial
port, the module outputs AUX high level.

6.3 Wake -up Mode (Mode 1)

type When M0 = 1, M1 = 0, the module works in mode 1

The conditions for the module to start data packet transmission and the AUX function are equivalent to
mode 0; the only difference is that the module will automatically add a wake-up code before each data
emission packet, and the length of the wake-up code depends on the wake-up time set in the user parameters; the
wake-up code The purpose is to wake up the receiving module working in mode 2; therefore, the data
transmitted in mode 1 can be received by modes 0, 1, and 2.
take over Equivalent to mode 0.

6.4 Power saving mode (mode 2)

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

The module is in a dormant state, the serial port is closed, and it cannot receive serial port data from an
emission
external MCU, so this mode does not have a wireless transmission function.
In mode 2, the transmitter is required to work in mode 1; monitor the wake-up code regularly, once a
valid wake-up code is received, the module will continue to be in the receiving state and wait for the
entire valid data packet to be received; then AUX outputs a low level , after a delay of 5ms, open the
serial port to send the received wireless data through TXD, and output AUX high level after completion;
take over
the wireless module continues to enter the "sleep-monitoring" working state (polling); by setting
different wake-up times, the module With different receiving response delay (maximum 2s) and average
power consumption (minimum 30uA); users need to achieve a balance between communication delay
time and average power consumption.

Sleep mode can be used for module parameter setting, use serial port 9600, 8N1, and set module working
configure
parameters through specific command format.
When entering other modes from sleep mode, the module will reconfigure parameters. During the
Notice configuration process, AUX remains low level; after completion, it outputs high level, so it is
recommended that users detect the rising edge of AUX.

8 Hardware Design

 It is recommended to use a DC regulated power supply to supply power to the module, the power supply ripple coefficient
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 reverse connection
may cause permanent damage to the module;
 Please check the power supply to ensure that it is between the recommended supply voltages, if exceeding the maximum value
will cause permanent damage to the module;
 Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage should not fluctuate greatly 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 can work stably for a long time;
 The module should be kept away from parts with large electromagnetic interference such as power supply, transformer, and
high-frequency wiring as far as possible;
 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, assuming that the module is soldered on the Top Layer, the top layer of the
contact part of the module should be covered with ground copper (all copper). And well grounded), it must be close to the digital
part of the module and routed on the Bottom Layer ;
 Assuming that the module is soldered or placed on the Top Layer, it is also wrong to arbitrarily route wires on the Bottom Layer
or other layers, which will affect the stray and receiving sensitivity of the module to varying degrees ;
 Assuming that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module, it will also greatly affect the
performance of the module. It is recommended to stay away from the module according to the strength of the interference. If the
situation allows, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done;
 Assuming that there are traces with large electromagnetic interference around the module (high-frequency digital,
high-frequency analog, power traces), it will also 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;
 If the communication line uses 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 TTL protocols whose physical layer is also 2.4GHz, for example: USB3.0;
 The antenna installation structure has a great influence on the performance of the module, and it is necessary to ensure that the
antenna is exposed and preferably vertically upward;
 When the module is installed inside the casing, a high-quality antenna extension cable can be used to extend the antenna to the
outside of the casing;
 The antenna must not be installed inside the metal shell, which will greatly reduce the transmission distance.

9 Frequently Asked Questions

9.1 The transmission distance is not ideal

 When there is a straight-line communication obstacle, the communication distance will be correspondingly attenuated ;
 Temperature, humidity, and co-channel interference will increase the communication packet loss rate ;
 The ground absorbs and reflects radio waves, and the test effect close to the ground is poor ;
 Seawater has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so the seaside test effect is poor ;
 If 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 speed is set too high (the higher the air speed, 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 output power ;
 The antenna and the module are poorly matched or the quality of the antenna itself is a problem.

9.2 Modules are easily damaged

 Please check the power supply to ensure that it is between the recommended supply voltages, if exceeding the maximum value
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 components are electrostatically sensitive ;
 Please ensure that the humidity during installation and use should not be too high, and some components are humidity-sensitive
devices ;
 If there is no special requirement, it is not recommended to use it at too high or too low temperature.

9.3 Bit error rate is too high

 There is co-frequency signal interference nearby, stay away from the interference source or modify the frequency and channel to
avoid interference;
 If the power supply is not ideal, it may also cause garbled characters. Be sure to ensure the reliability of the power supply;
 Poor quality or too long extension cables and feeders can also cause high bit error rates.
