Remark
1
Users can combine M1 and M0 with high and low levels to determine the operating mode. Two GPIOs of the MCU can
be used to control mode switching;
After changing M1 and M0: If the module is idle, after 1ms, it can start working according to the new mode;
If the serial port data of the module has not been transmitted through the wireless, the new working mode can be
switched after the transmission is completed;
If the module receives the wireless data and transmits the data through the serial port, it needs to finish transmission
before switching the new working mode;
Therefore, mode switching can only be valid when AUX output is 1, otherwise it will delay switching
2
For example, users continuously input a large amount of data and simultaneously performs mode switching. At this
time, the switching mode operation is invalid; the module will process all the user data before performing the new mode
detection;
Therefore, the general recommendation is to detect the output state of the AUX pin and switch after 2ms when the
output is high.
3
When the module is switched from other modes to sleep mode, if the data has not been processed yet;
The module will process these data (including receiving and sending) before entering sleep mode. This feature can be
used for fast sleep, which saves power; for example, the transmitter module works in mode 0, the user transmits the
serial port data "12345", and then does not have to wait for the AUX pin to be idle (high level), and can directly switch
to sleep mode. And the user's main MCU immediately sleeps, the module will automatically transmit the user data
through the wireless, and automatically enters sleep within 1ms;
This saves MCU's working time and reduces power consumption.
4
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; thus, eliminating the need for the user to query AUX and achieve the
purpose of fast switching;
For example, switching from the transmit mode to the receive mode; the user MCU can also enter sleep before the mode
switch, and use the external interrupt function to acquire the AUX change, thereby performing mode switching.
5
This operation mode is very flexible and efficient, and is designed according to the user's MCU's operation convenience,
and can reduce the workload of the entire system as much as possible, improve system efficiency, and reduce power
consumption.
