3.1 Hovedparametre

3.2 Fysiske dimensioner

The E32-915T30D module has compact dimensions, making it suitable for integration into various projects. Its physical size is 43.00mm x 24.00mm.

4. Opsætning og installation

Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance of the E32-915T30D module. This section outlines the basic steps for installation.

4.1 Komponentidentifikation

The module incorporates high-quality components for stable and reliable operation:

• Krystaloscillator: 1ppm TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) for high frequency stability.
• RF IC: Original imported SX1276 from SEMTECH, the core of the LoRa functionality.
• Wire Wound Inductor: From Germany Wurth, ensuring high Q value and low attenuation.
• LNA: Lav støj Amplifier, improving receiving sensitivity.
• PCB: 4-layer PCB design for improved EMC performance.

4.2 Fysisk installation

The E32-915T30D is a UART DIP module. It is designed for easy integration into your circuit board. Ensure proper pin alignment when inserting the module into a DIP socket or soldering it directly.

For securing the SMA antenna connector, utilize the provided nuts and washers to ensure a stable and reliable connection. This prevents loosening and maintains signal integrity.

4.3 Strømforsyningstilslutning

Connect the module to a stable power supply within the range of 3.3V to 5.2V. A 5.0V supply is recommended for optimal performance. Ensure correct polarity to prevent damage to the module.

4.4 UART Interface Connection

Connect the module's UART pins (TX, RX, GND, VCC) to your microcontroller or host system. Ensure that the UART baud rate and other parameters are correctly configured on both the module and the host device for proper communication.

5. Operating Modes and Data Transmission

The E32-915T30D module supports various data transmission modes to suit different application requirements.

5.1 Transparent Transmission (Point-to-Point)

In this mode, data is sent transparently between two modules. Both modules (Module A and Module B) must have the same address and channel configured. Data sent by one module is received directly by the other, acting as a simple wireless serial link.

5.2 Transparent Transmission (Broadcasting)

Each module can act as a transmitter to send out data to multiple receivers. In this mode, a single transmitting module sends data that can be received by any other module within range, regardless of their specific address, as long as they are on the same channel.

5.3 Broadcast 0xFFFF Transmission

To broadcast data to all modules on a target channel, set the sending address to 0xFFFF. This allows a single module to transmit data that will be received by every module configured for that specific channel, enabling a one-to-many communication setup.

5.4 Fixed Transmission

This mode allows each module to connect with other modules in different addresses and channels. This is useful for more complex network applications, such as repeating or routing data, where specific modules need to communicate with designated partners across different network segments.

8. Fejlfinding

Hvis du støder på problemer med dit E32-915T30D-modul, kan du overveje følgende fejlfindingstrin:

• Ingen kommunikation:
  • Bekræft strømforsyningen voltage og polaritet.
  • Check UART connections (TX, RX, GND) and ensure they are correctly wired.
  • Confirm that the UART baud rate, parity, and stop bits are correctly configured on both the module and the host device.
  • Ensure both transmitting and receiving modules are on the same frequency and channel.
• Poor Range/Signal Strength:
  • Check the antenna connection; ensure it is securely attached and the correct type (SMA-K).
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal objects) between the transmitting and receiving modules.
  • Verify that the transmitting power is set to the desired level (up to 1W).
  • Minimér elektromagnetisk interferens fra andre elektroniske enheder.
• Modulet svarer ikke:
  • Power cycle the module.
  • Check for any short circuits on the PCB.
  • Ensure the module is not overheating.
