The test suite

It is suggested that we can first use our testing base e78-tbl-01 specially made for E78 module, which

is convenient for users to use, and users can decide according to their own needs.

6.Basic operation

6.1 Hardware design

It is recommended to use dc stabilized voltage power supply to supply power to this module. The ripple coefficient

of the power supply should be as small as possible and the module should be grounded reliably.

Please pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles of the power supply.

Please check the power supply to ensure that it is between the recommended power supply voltage. If the maximum

value is exceeded, the module will be permanently damaged.

Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage cannot fluctuate greatly and frequently;

When designing power supply circuit for modules, it is often recommended to keep more than 30% allowance,

which is conducive to long-term stable work of the whole machine.

Module should be as far as possible away from the power supply, transformers, high frequency wiring and other

electromagnetic interference large part;

High frequency digital wiring, high frequency analog wiring and power supply wiring must avoid the Bottom of the

module. If it is really necessary to pass the Bottom of the module, assume that the module is welded to the Top

Layer and copper is laid on the Top Layer in the contact part of the module (all copper is laid and well grounded). It

must be close to the digital part of the module and wired on the Bottom Layer.

Assuming that the module is welded or placed in Top Layer, it is also wrong to randomly line Bottom Layer or other

layers, which will affect the spurious and receiving sensitivity of the module to varying degrees.

It is assumed that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module, which will greatly

affect the performance of the module. According to the intensity of interference, it is suggested to stay away from

the module appropriately. If possible, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done.

It is assumed that the wiring around the module with large electromagnetic interference (high frequency digital,

high frequency analog, power supply wiring) will also greatly affect the performance of the module. According to

the intensity of interference, it is suggested to stay away from the module. If possible, appropriate isolation and

shielding can be done.

If 5V level is used for communication line, 1k-5.1k resistance must be connected in series (not recommended, there

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co.,Ltd E78-400M22S user manual

is still risk of damage);

As far as possible away from some physical layer also 2.4GHz TTL protocol, such as: USB3.0;

Antenna installation structure has a great impact on the performance of the module, it must be ensured that the

antenna is exposed and preferably vertical;

When the module is installed inside the housing, a high-quality antenna extension cord can be used to extend the

antenna to the outside of the housing.

The antenna must not be installed in the inner part of the metal shell, which will greatly weaken the transmission

distance.

7.FAQ

7.1 Communication range is too short

The communication distance will be affected when obstacle exists.

Data lose rate will be affected by temperature, humidity and co-channel interference.

The ground will absorb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when testing near ground.

Sea water has great ability in absorbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when testing near the sea.

The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal case.

Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the

distance).

The power supply low voltage under room temperature is lower than 2.5V, the lower the voltage, the lower the

transmitting power.

Due to antenna quality or poor matching between antenna and module.

7.2 Module is easy to damage

Please check the power supply source, ensure it is 2.0V~3.6V, voltage higher than 3.6V will damage the module.

Please check the stability of power source, the voltage cannot fluctuate too much.

Please make sure antistatic measure are taken when installing and using, high frequency devices have electrostatic

susceptibility.

Please ensure the humidity is within limited range, some parts are sensitive to humidity.

Please avoid using modules under too high or too low temperature.

7.3 BER (Bit Error Rate) is high

There are co-channel signal interference nearby, please be away from interference sources or modify frequency and

channel to avoid interference;

Poor power supply may cause messy code. Make sure that the power supply is reliable.

The extension line and feeder quality are poor or too long, so the bit error rate is high;
