* Loop test time delay means the duration from the time of, after conducting short circuit on TX and RX pins of one module
and sending serial port data to the other module,starting to send serial port data to the other module to the time that the
returned data appear at TX pin of the other module.
Precautions:
1. If the distance between two modules is too close (less than 50cm), it would
be better that the transmitting power of two modules are set to low. Otherwise,
receiving will be saturated and communication between modules will fail. If the
distance is only several centimeters, communication cannot be ensured even more.
2. Do not connect LED between TX line of module and power to increase
resistance as the serial communication of module will be affected.
3. The following circumstances usually can be ignored, and they shall be
noticed when using dynamic parameters of microcontroller (MCU).
After the device sends the serial port data of last byte to
module, only after more than 28ms, can the operation performance of
entering AT mode be valid.
After lowering (connect to GND or 0V) SET pin, AT
command can be sent to module only after 30ms. After pulling up (connect
to Vcc or high) SET pin, module can work normally only after 50ms.
4. Except when entering command mode, SET pin cannot be connected to low
level at the early stage of energizing (resetting) in other work mode.

5. HARDWARE
Generally, there are two operation modes: Transparent UART and Wireless IO control.
5.1 Transparent UART
Below in examples connection between 434MHz RF Transceiver and Arduino UNO. This is a
transceiver (Transmitter and Receiver) module, user needs 1 pair of this module for wireless
communication. This wireless module cannot intercommunicate with the 1KM meters version
(RF-UART-433-1KM) as the frequency is not the same, not to forget, it is not compatible
with the low cost RF transmitter and receiver too.
Example of full tutorial for this RF Transceiver Module can be referred to this link Wireless
UART with Arduino and 433MHz or 434MHz module
The UART pins are cross connected; RX of Arduino should be connected to TXD of wireless
module and vice versa for TX of Arduino.

The UART pins are cross connected; RX of UC00A should be connected to TXD of wireless
module and vice versa for TX of UC00A.
Example connection between RF Transceiver module and UC00A

5.2 Wireless IO Control
Below is an example connection of Wireless IO control. Send AT+FCMF (or AT+FCMT) to a
module to change to be wireless IO controller (input). Send AT+FCSF (or AT+FCST) to
another module to change to be IO controlled (output).

S1, S2 and S3 correspond to control D1, D2 and D3 respectively. For example, press switch
S3 and LED D3 will be illuminate; release switch S3 and LED D3 will be off (the situation
of FCxT is: press and release it, and the LED will light on, then press and release it again and
the LED will be light off.

6. SOFTWARE
6.1 Wireless UART Transparent Transmission
Wireless point to point communication between two devices

When the device(MCU) on the left of the above figure sends UART data to wireless module,
and the RXD pin of the left wireless module receives the serial port data, it will automatically
send the data through the air by means of radio wave. The right wireless module will
automatically receive the data via the air, and restore it, transmit the data out via its TXD pin,
and device (MCU) on the right will receive the data originally sent by the left device (MCU).
It is the same from right to left. This can happen if and only if the settings of wireless
modules are correctly done.
The wireless module has four types of UART transparent transmission modes (this function is
valid from V1.8) expressed from FU1 to FU4. All modes are only responsible for receiving
and sending serial port data, it is very convenient to use. The default mode is FU1 mode. All
wireless modules must be in same mode in order for communication to happen. Different
modes cannot transmit data to each other. User could select the optimal mode according to
practical circumstances.
The modules are usually used in pairs, and transmit data by means of half duplex (full
duplex is available for FU3 mode). The baud rate, communication channel and address of two
paired modules shall be set to be same. Modules of different serial port modes, channels and
address cannot transmit data to each other.
6.2 Wireless IO Control Function
This wireless module can be set to be wireless IO control function through AT command. For
the module set to be controller - becoming input to sensors (AT+FCMF), RX, TX and SET
pin can be directly connect to negative or positive terminals of power supply to control the
status level of corresponding pin of remote module.
15
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE

For the module set to be controlled - becoming output where it will have driving capability of
RX,TX and SET pin. When the output is driven high (logic 1), each pin will have capability
to source current at maximum of 18mA. When the output pin is driven low (logic 0), it is
connected to ground through 180R resistance. Pay attention to reducing the output current of
IO port as much as possible, and if the output current is extremely high, normal working
mode of module cannot be ensured.
This wireless I/O control function provides two working modes: Momentary and toggle.
Momentary or Level Follower
Please sends AT+FCMF to controller, and sends AT+FCSF to receiver module. After
these commands are sent, the pin level of latter module (receiver which we send AT+FCSF)
will keep consistent with the pin level of controller module (transmitter which we send
AT+FCMF). For the controller module, the interval between two level (logic High and Low)
of IO port shall be at least 50ms and of course this interval can be ignored if the module is
connected to buttons.
Toggle
By sending command of AT+FCMT to controller wireless module and sends AT+FCST
to the receiver module (output), these modules will be working in toggle mode. When falling
edge detected at RX,TX or SET pin of the controller module (input) ( it only responds to
falling edge), the level of corresponding pins of remote wireless module (output) will be
turned over (from 0 to 1,or from 1 to 0, toggle). The output level of receiver module is 0
when it is just energized.
6.3 AT Command
Command is used to set the module parameters and switch the module functions, and
modification of parameters and functions will not be lost in case of power failure.
1. Entering Command Mode in Transparent UART (two methods):
In normal use (powered), pull SET pin to low level (pull down or connect to
GND, 0V)
Disconnect power supply, connect SET pin to low level then power it again.
Wait for 1 second and module will enter command mode.
Either of the above two ways can make the wireless module enter AT command mode.
Release the SET pin (leave it disconnect to pull to high) and it will exit command mode. If
the module function is changed during command mode (example baud rate), the module will
switch to corresponding functional status.
In V1.8, the module enters AT in the serial port format of 9600, N, 1 constantly.
2. Wireless IO control function command mode entering
If the wireless module is being configured in wireless IO control mode, only the following
method can force the module to enter command mode:
Disconnect power supply, connect SET pin to low level then power it again.
16

Wait for 1 second and module will enter command mode. When exiting from this
mode, the module will switch to the status modified by the command.

4. AT+C
Change the wireless communication channel of module, optional from 001 to 127, and the
default value is 001. 0 cannot be omitted, there must be 3 digits. Example if you want to set
to channel 12, you will need to send 012, not 12. If this value is too high, data over the air
might be lost, and there are around 20 clear channels available, from 001 and 020. Both
module must be configured to same channel to communicate.
Example:
Send AT+C015 to module to set module channel to be 015
Return: OK-C015
5. AT+Eyx
This command is used to set remote module. When remote module enters AT command
mode, the parameter y will be changed to x, and it will be valid after exiting from AT mode. y
is one parameters among ABC, respectively representing address, baud rate and channel, x
value can be seen in the instruction of commands Bx, Ax and Cx. The meaning of returned
value is as follows:
EyE - parameter error
EyR - set correctly
EyF - command error
