If you encounter issues with the HLK-LD8001 module, consider the following:
- Unexpected Performance: If the module's performance is not as expected, especially after integrating it into a custom housing, the shell structure may need fine-tuning. It is recommended to send the shell structure to the factory for testing and adjustment of reference settings.
- дахолат: Ensure proper spacing (>0.5 meters) and orientation (antennas not facing each other) if multiple modules are used to avoid mutual interference.
- Тафсири маълумот: If you are receiving raw data but cannot convert it into meaningful readings, verify your software's data interpretation logic. Specific software or firmware may be required to convert HEX data into actual water level readings.
- Ҳаҷми вуруди аналогӣtage: For analog inputs (AI01 on J2), ensure the voltage does not exceed 1.35V. The range of 0.5-0.8V is a non-linear region and should be avoided for accurate measurements.
