• Masse: Boden.

2.2 Anzeigestatus

The module includes an indicator light to show its operational status:

• Arbeits status: Red light blinking.
• Ruhezustand: Light off when hibernating, red light flashing when waking up.

3. Operating Modes and AT Commands

The LR02 module supports various working modes and is configured using a comprehensive set of AT commands via its UART serial interface. This allows for flexible integration into different applications without requiring custom LoRa programming.

3.1 Supported Working Modes

The module can operate in three primary data transmission modes:

1. Module and Module Transparent Transmission: Requires the same channel for both sender and receiver to transmit data.
2. Module and Module Fixed-Point Transmission: Communicates with modules using specified addresses and channels. Data format is hexadecimal: receiving address + receiving channel + data.
3. Modules and Module Broadcast Transmission: Communicates with designated channel modules. Data format is hexadecimal: receiver channel + data.

3.2 AT Command Set

AT commands are used to configure and query the module's parameters. A serial port testing software can be used for this purpose.

Abbildung 3.2: Screenshot of a UART Assistant Tools software demonstrating serial port testing and a table of common AT commands. This image shows how to interact with the module using AT commands and a software interface.

Zu den gängigen AT-Befehlen gehören:

• BEIM: Test command (responds with OK).
• +++: Enter/exit AT command mode.
• AT+BAUD: Set/query baud rate.
• AT+MODE: Set/query operating mode.
• AT+SLEEP: Set/query power consumption mode.
• AT+CHANNEL: Set/query working channels.
• AT+MAC: Set/query device address.
• AT+POWE: Set/query transmit power.
• AT+IQ: Setting the IQ signal flip-flop.

For a complete list and detailed usage of AT commands, please consult the product information packages and technical documentation provided by DX-SMART.

4. Wartung

The DX-Smart LR02 module is designed for robust operation. To ensure its longevity and reliable performance, consider the following general maintenance guidelines:

• Umgebungsbedingungen: Betreiben Sie das Modul innerhalb der angegebenen Temperatur- und Feuchtigkeitsbereiche. Vermeiden Sie den Kontakt mit extremen Temperaturen, Feuchtigkeit oder korrosiven Umgebungen.
• Physische Handhabung: Handle the module with care to prevent physical damage to components or solder joints. Avoid excessive force when connecting or disconnecting antennas and cables.
• Stromversorgung: Ensure a stable and clean power supply within the specified voltage range (3.3V-5.5V). Unstable power can affect performance and module lifespan.
• Reinigung: Reinigen Sie das Modul bei Bedarf vorsichtig mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch. Vermeiden Sie die Verwendung von Flüssigkeiten oder scharfen Chemikalien.
• Firmware-Updates: Überprüfen Sie regelmäßig die Herstellerangaben. webAuf dieser Website finden Sie alle verfügbaren Firmware-Updates, die die Leistung verbessern oder neue Funktionen hinzufügen können. Befolgen Sie die bereitgestellten Anweisungen für alle Aktualisierungsvorgänge sorgfältig.

5. Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your DX-Smart LR02 module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/Indicator Off:
  • Überprüfen Sie die Lautstärke der Stromversorgungtage liegt im Bereich von 3.3 V bis 5.5 V.
  • Prüfen Sie alle Stromanschlüsse auf korrekten Kontakt und richtige Polarität.
  • Ensure the module is not in hibernation mode (indicator light off).
• Communication Failure (UART):
  • Confirm TXD and RXD lines are correctly connected (TX of one device to RX of the other).
  • Verify that the baud rate settings on both the module (via AT commands) and the host device match.
  • Prüfen Sie, ob Verbindungen locker sind oder Kabel beschädigt wurden.
  • Ensure the module is not in sleep mode, which would prevent communication.
• Poor Wireless Range/Connectivity:
  • Ensure the antenna is securely connected and appropriate for the operating frequency.
  • Check for obstructions between modules (e.g., thick walls, metal objects).
  • Verify that both modules are configured to the same frequency and channel.
  • Confirm transmit power settings using AT commands.
• Module Not Responding to AT Commands:
  • Ensure you are sending the correct AT command prefix (e.g., '+++' to enter command mode).
  • Check serial port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits).
  • Confirm the module is powered on and not in a deep sleep state.

If problems persist after following these steps, please refer to the technical support section for further assistance.
