5.1 പിൻഔട്ട് ഡയഗ്രം

ചിത്രം 5.1: തിരികെ view of the HC-12 module, clearly showing the pin labels for VCC, GND, RXD, TXD, SET, and ANT connections.
The HC-12 module features six pins for connection. Refer to the diagram above for pin identification:
- വിസിസി: Power supply input (3.3V).
- GND: ഗ്രൗണ്ട് കണക്ഷൻ.
- RXD: Receive Data pin (connects to TXD of microcontroller).
- TXD: Transmit Data pin (connects to RXD of microcontroller).
- സജ്ജമാക്കുക: Configuration pin (pull low to enter AT command mode).
- എന്റ്: Antenna connection point (for external antenna if not using the spring antenna).
5.2 പവർ സപ്ലൈ കണക്ഷൻ
Connect the VCC pin to a 3.3V power source and GND to ground. If the module will be operating for extended periods in emission mode and your power supply voltage is greater than 4.5V, it is recommended to connect a 1N4007 diode in series with the VCC line to prevent overheating of the module's built-in LDO (Low Dropout Regulator).
5.3 Serial Communication Connection
Connect the TXD pin of the HC-12 module to the RXD pin of your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, ESP32) and the RXD pin of the HC-12 module to the TXD pin of your microcontroller. Ensure that the logic levels are compatible (3.3V). If your microcontroller operates at 5V logic, use a logic level shifter for the RXD and TXD lines to prevent damage to the HC-12 module.
5.4 ആന്റിന കണക്ഷൻ
The module typically comes with a spring antenna pre-soldered. If you wish to use an external 433MHz antenna, ensure it is properly connected to the ANT pin. For optimal performance, the antenna should be positioned away from metal objects and other electronic components.
6. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
6.1 Default Operation Mode
Out of the box, the HC-12 module operates in FU3 mode with a serial baud rate of 9600 BPS and communication channel CH001 (433.4 MHz). In this mode, the module acts as a transparent serial bridge, meaning any data sent to its serial input (RXD) will be transmitted wirelessly, and any data received wirelessly will be output through its serial output (TXD).
6.2 AT Command Mode for Configuration
To change the module's parameters (e.g., baud rate, communication channel, transmit power, operating mode), you need to enter AT command mode. This is done by pulling the SET pin low (connecting it to GND) before powering on the module, or by pulling it low while the module is already powered on (wait for a short delay after pulling low).
- Enter AT Command Mode: Connect the SET pin to GND.
- Connect to Serial Terminal: Use a USB-to-Serial converter (e.g., FTDI adapter) connected to your computer. Ensure the serial terminal is set to 9600 BPS (default for AT commands).
- Send AT Commands:
AT: Returns "OK" if successful.AT+Bxxxx: Sets the serial baud rate (e.g.,AT+B115200).AT+Cxxx: Sets the communication channel (e.g.,AT+C005for 433.8 MHz).AT+FUx: Sets the operating mode (e.g.,AT+FU1for FU1 mode,AT+FU3for FU3 mode).AT+Px: Sets the transmit power (e.g.,AT+P8for +20dBm,AT+P1for -1dBm).AT+RX: Reads current parameters.AT+DEFAULT: Resets to factory default settings.
- Exit AT Command Mode: Disconnect the SET pin from GND. The module will then operate with the newly configured settings.
പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ടത്: Always ensure that both transmitting and receiving HC-12 modules are configured with the same communication channel and air baud rate for successful communication.
6.3 Operating Modes (FU1, FU2, FU3)
- FU1 (Low Power Mode): Suitable for applications requiring very low power consumption and shorter communication distances. Data transmission rate is lower.
- FU2 (Standard Mode): A balance between power consumption and communication distance/speed.
- FU3 (High Power/Long Range Mode): Default mode, offering the longest communication distance and highest transmit power. This mode has higher power consumption.
7. പരിപാലനം
