4. Налаштування та інтеграція
The E220-400M22S is a pure RF transceiver module, meaning it requires an external microcontroller (MCU) for operation. Integration involves connecting the module to an MCU via its SPI interface and developing firmware to control its functions.
4.1 Підключення обладнання
- Connect the VCC pin to a stable power supply within the 1.8V to 3.7V range. Ensure the power supply can provide sufficient current.
- Connect all GND pins to the system ground.
- Connect the SPI interface pins (NSS, SCK, MOSI, MISO) to the corresponding SPI pins on your MCU.
- Connect the DIO1 and DIO2 pins to GPIOs on your MCU for interrupt handling and status indication.
- Connect NRST to an MCU GPIO for hardware reset control.
- Connect RXEN and TXEN to MCU GPIOs for controlling the receive and transmit enable states.
- Attach a suitable 433MHz or 470MHz antenna to the IPEX connector or stamp отвір.
4.2 Розробка програмного забезпечення
Controlling the E220-400M22S module requires an MCU driver or a specialized SPI debugging tool. This involves:
- Initializing the SPI communication.
- Configuring the LLCC68 chip registers for desired operating mode (LoRa™ or FSK), frequency, power, and spread spectrum factor.
- Implementing routines for sending and receiving data packets.

5. Принципи роботи
The E220-400M22S module operates primarily using LoRa™ modulation, which is optimized for long-range, low-power communication. It also supports FSK modulation for higher data rates over shorter distances.
5.1 LoRa™ Mode
LoRa™ (Long Range) is a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. It offers significant advantages in terms of range, interference immunity, and power efficiency. Key parameters in LoRa™ mode include:
- Коефіцієнт розтікання (SF): Determines the data rate and range. Higher SF values increase range but decrease data rate. The module supports SF5 to SF11.
- Пропускна здатність (ЧБ): Affects data rate and noise immunity.
- Швидкість кодування (CR): Adds redundancy for error correction, improving robustness at the cost of data rate.
5.2 FSK Mode
FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) is a traditional modulation scheme that provides higher data throughput compared to LoRa™ for applications where range is less critical. The module supports FSK mode with data rates up to 300kbps.
