4.Basic operation 

4.1

 

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 
maximu m  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

 

 

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 affe ct 
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 
weakened. 

4.2 Software editing 

 

This module is based on SX1280,same  drive way as SX1280,user  can refer  to SX1280  datasheet. 

 

DIO  is general I/O port

see more  in SX1280  datasheet. 

 

GDO  2 is generally configurated as IRQ  function, IRQ  pin can also be disconnected. The SPI query mode can be used
