5. Käyttöohjeet

Once the RD-01 module is powered and configured, it can perform its intended functions. The operation involves utilizing its radar, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities.

• Radar Operation: The 24GHz FMCW radar continuously emits and receives signals to detect presence, motion, and distance of objects within its ±60 degree field of view and up to 5-meter range. The module processes these signals to provide raw data or processed information via its interfaces.
• Wi-Fi-yhteys: The module can connect to a Wi-Fi network (Station mode) or create its own access point (SoftAP mode). This allows for data transmission, remote control, and integration into IoT systems. Refer to the SDK documentation for Wi-Fi configuration and communication protocols.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Usage: BLE 5.0 enables low-power wireless communication. It is particularly useful for initial setup, configuration, and intelligent parameter adjustment of the radar module using a compatible mobile application or host device.
• Tietojen lähtö: Data from the radar, Wi-Fi, or BLE functions can be accessed through the UART, SPI, or I2C interfaces. The specific data format and commands will be detailed in the module's programming guide or SDK.

6. Huolto

The RD-01 module is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure its longevity and performance:

• Ympäristöolosuhteet: Operate and store the module within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (-40°C to 85°C operating, -40°C to 125°C storage at 90%RH). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high moisture.
• Fyysinen käsittely: Handle the module with care to prevent physical damage. Avoid bending or stressing the PCB. When soldering, ensure proper techniques to prevent damage to components.
