Module Testing

1. Make sure the UART path work
1. Pull high for both M0 and M1(sleep, mode 3)
2. Connect the module to your PC with UART or USB-TTL cable
3. Configure the UART port as 9600 8N1.
4. Send "0xC3 0xC3 0xC3" to retrieve the module versions
5. You should see the module send back data like, 
2. Set up another module with above instructions, name it host and another for client
3. Client
1. Configure with C0 command set
• C0 12 34 1A 17 44
• C0: keep configuration after reset
• 12 34: address
• 1A: 
• UART mode: 8N1
• UART baud rate: 9600 bps
• Air speed: 2.4K bps
• 17: Channel 433Mhz
• 44: 
• transparent mode 
• wake-up time: 250ms
• FEC on
• power: 20dBm
2. Set to mode 0 (M0M1=00)
4. Host 
1. Configure with C0 command set, C0 12 34 1A 17 44
2. Set to mode 0 (M0M1=00)
3. Send any text
4. Check the client side, if the client receives the same text
