HC-12 Module: Long-Range Wireless Solution

The HC-12 module is a wireless serial communication module that operates between 433.4-473MHz with 100 channels spaced at 400KHz intervals. It has a maximum transmission power of 100mW and receiving sensitivity of -117dB at 5kbps with a communication range of up to 1km in open spaces. Configuration of the HC-12 module is easy as it operates in transparent transmission mode for serial data. Testing showed the module can replace Bluetooth for serial communication and provides long communication ranges of up to 1km when an antenna is used, though it only supports half-duplex communication and has a higher cost than some other serial modules.

Document on HC-12 Module.

Introduction:
HC-12 wireless serial port communication module is a new-generation multichannel embedded
wireless data transmission module. Its wireless working frequency band is 433.4-473.0MHz,
multiple channels can be set, with the stepping of 400 KHz, and there are totally 100 channels.
The maximum transmitting power of module is 100mW (20dBm), the receiving sensitivity is -
117dBm at baud rate of 5,000 bps in the air, and the communication distance is 1,000m in open
space.

There is MCU inside the module, and user don’t need to program the module separately, and all
transparent transmission mode is only responsible for receiving and sending serial port data, so it
is convenient to use. The module adopts multiple serial port transparent transmission modes, and
user could select them by AT command according to use requirements. The average working
current of three modes FU1, FU2 and FU3 in idle state is 80μa, 3.6mA an 16mA respectively,
and the maximum working current is 100mA (in transmitting state).

Testing information:

I have used(tested) this module to test, can it replace HC-05 bluetooth module for serial
communication. This module works in half duplex mode for data transmission. And configuring
this module is very easy. It gives very long distance range for communication.If antenna is used
then it gives range upto 1KM (LOS).

Advantages:

1) Configuring this module is very easy and quick.

2) HC-12 gives very long distance range for communication.

3) Small in size.

Limitations:

1) Works in half duplex only unlike HC-05

2) Cost is more as compared to other serial modules.

Testing Circuit:

2
I have used above circuit to test HC-12 module on Transmitter side i have used one switch

to control LED at receiver. And at receiver side i have used Potentiometer to control servo

on transmitter side.
