Specifications of 433MHz module for transmitting and receiving
wireless data

During data transmission, “Busy” output remains low level, so please don’t use serial port
for data transmission. Otherwise, it will be processed as invalid. When “Busy” indicator is
not in use, appropriate delay might be added prior to the transmission of the next frame
data after the transmission of the previous frame data is finished.
This module supports both transmission and reception of any hex data including ASCII
characters, Chinese character, etc. The data amount of single frame for this module is
limited into a threshold of 1byte~64 bytes. Any data that beyond this range will be ignored.
“Busy” output is “strong pull-down” type which could bear a maximum current of up to 20mA.
It is allowed to insert LED and current-limiting resistor as indicator for data transmission and
reception between “Busy” port and VCC.
Frequency Settings
PIN 8 shall remain low level during frequency settings.
The frequency settings of module can proceed during either data transmission or reception.
It accepts 64 frequencies on this module and numbered from channel 0~63. The setting
parameter is “not so easily lost on power down”. Over 100,000 operations shall be
guaranteed, the frequency that the module is working on next time shall be subject to the
settings of last time. Set PIN8 to low level when the working frequency is to be set, then,
feed hex command “0xaf” and channel number continuously from serial port, the channel
number ranges from 0-63 in decimal (corresponding to 0x00-0x3f in hex). Numbers input
that exceed 63 will automatically be modified as 63. The results of frequency setting will be
returned from serial port which serves as the basis of valid operation. After the frequency
setting parameters are feed into serial port of module, PIN 6 (Busy) will indicate as low level
and will resume to high level after setting is finished. Setting PIN8 to high level after the
frequency settings been finished (you may monitor Busy indication) will lead you to the new
status of data transmission and reception on newly-selected frequency.
Frequency settings on each channel are shown as follows:
433M: 430.26M-439.71M
868M: 860.50M-869.95M
915M: 915.18M-924.63M
The difference between channels is 150 kHz, detailed channel frequency calculation (take
915M channel as an example, other frequency settings have the same calculation method
