JDY-41 Wireless 2.

4G Serial Port Module

External antenna PCB Onboard antenna

1. Function introduction
JDY-41 is developed by 2.4G technology, with a visual distance of 160 meters, serial port
transparent transmission, switching value control, low power remote control and learning remote
control. In particular, JDY-41 and JDY-40 are only compatible with each other on PCB package,
while the communication protocol is completely different. For JDY-41 long-distance transparent
transmission communication, each packet of data is checked, the receiver will not receive random
code data, and the communication distance has been greatly improved. The measured
communication distance is 160 meters, and the transparent transmission does not lose packets. It
supports the serial port to send instructions to control the high and low level of GPIO pin at the
receiving end, serial communication supports the transparent serial port communication, and
communicates with the sending instruction serial port. Serial port transparent communication
means that there is no format for the serial port communication between the transmitter and the
receiver. The receiver will receive all the data input from the serial port of the transmitter.
Instruction serial communication supports device communication with target address in front of
data, and transparent communication supports ack response communication. The transmitter
transmits the data to the receiver, and the transmitter will know whether the receiver has received
the data. The learning remote control supports the receiver to learn the ID code of the transmitter.
After successful learning, the receiver of the remote control will only accept the specified remote
control.

7.1 Wiring diagram when configuring parameters

When configuring MCU or USB to serial port tool, the CS and SET pins must be pulled down, and
the default baud rate is 9600
Note: The configuration instruction should be issued in hexadecimal format

Configuration parameters FAQ

1、Is transparent ACK application configured through this circuit?
Answer: As long as it is the parameter in the configuration module, it needs to follow the wiring of this
circuit for instruction configuration.
2、The transmitter of the remote control is C0 or C1, or the receiver of the remote control is C2-C7. After the
configuration of this circuit, it need to press the circuit wiring of the remote control, right?
Answer: Yes, after the circuit is configured, connect the transmitter or receiver of the remote control. The
wiring mode is to pull up the CS and SET pins or suspend them.
Note: when configuring parameters of serial port, CS and SET pins need to be connected to low level

7.2 Serial port transparent communication wiring diagram

The factory default CLSStype is A0. If it is not A0, it needs to be configured according to the
wiring diagram when configuring parameters.

CS pin grounding and SET pin suspended means transparent transmission wiring application. MCU pin can
also pull SET pin up and CS pin low. Through the above pin configuration, the two modules can be transparently
transmitted. After the transparent transmission is completed, if you need deep sleep, directly pull up the CS pin,
and the module immediately enters deep sleep with a current of several UA.
Transparent transmission FAQ
1、Is there a byte limit for sending and receiving data through serial port?
A: There is no byte limit. Just write the data directly to the serial port.
2、In transparent transmission, we need to know whether the receiving end has received data and how to
configure it?
A: You just need to turn on the ack of the transmitter, so that each packet of data sent by the transmitter
can get a response.
3、When the distance is far, will the receiver receive the error code?
A: Receiving and sending data are checked, and random code data will not be received. When the air data
is disordered, the receiving end will not receive it.
Note: CS is grounded and SET pin is suspended during transparent transmission connection.
When configuring parameters, CS is grounded and SET pin is also grounded.

7.3 Serial communication wiring diagram of designated address

Device A (ID 11112222) needs to send AABBCCDDEE data instructions to target B device (ID 88889999)
as follows:
B1CA88889999AABBCCDDEE0D0A
Device A (ID 11112222) needs to broadcast AABBCCDDEE data instructions to all devices as follows:
B1CAFFFFFFFFAABBCCDDEE0D0A
Note: serial port designated address communication transmitter needs to know the device ID number of the
receiving end, specify the ID number for communication, use broadcast communication (target address is
FFFFFFFF), all devices under the same channel and wireless ID number can receive the broadcast data.

Device A (ID 11112222) needs to control GPIO1 and GPIO2 of target B device (ID 88889999) as high level,
and other GPIO as low level instruction: B1CA88889999E7FF3F
Device A (ID 11112222) needs to control GPIO7 and GPIO8 of target B device (ID 88889999) as high level,
and other GPIO as low level instruction: B1CA88889999E7FFF3
Note: the communication wiring diagram of specified address of serial port is the same as that of
configuration parameter wiring diagram, CS and set pins need to be connected to low level.
In particular, the serial port instruction for querying device ID is: F2AD0D0A
