It should be few ms.

Can you try it from HyperTerminal or similar program?

I don't really know why it behaves like this.

Yes, exactly it's terminal from here: https://sites.google.com/site/terminalbpp/

Weird thing is I tested two ATZB modules and both behave the same.

May be you have local echo enabled and module does not receive anything?

How can I check or change it? Is it in configuration of the module or you mean TXD and RXD are connected together somewhere?

No, module should work fine as is. You can't configure it without getting access first anyway. It should be in the configuration of the terminal program.

BTW, do you see the same characters if you disconnect the module?

No, when module is disconnected there is nothing in receive window. And it's the same when module is connected to FTDI converter but there isn't SerialNet programmed.

Do you press <Enter>? Try different settings for End Of Line character, like CR, LF and CR+LF.

You are the best Wink So small detail... But in this terminal is written that after pressing <ENTER> there is inserted CR character in the end of sending expression, but it wasn't work. When I send 'AT#013' everything works great. Thanks a lot for help.

I've just remembered one more question. Do you know what is the approximate range of ATZB-24-A2? I've looked for this information in the datasheet and some forums but without success.

That depends on how you design your board. You can expect anything from 5 to 50 meters. Sometimes even more, but not really reliable and not in all antenna orientations.

Hi again.

I have a question about PCB for ATZB-24-A2. My PCB is filled by ground, even in area occupied by the module. I wonder it may influence on the range of the module. Or maybe you have some other tips how can I increase the range?

There should not be ground plane under the antenna part of the module. That will affect the range (technically you are just shielding the antenna).

Ground plane under the module itself is not recommended, but acceptable.

Generally antenna on ATZB-24-A2 gives better performance if if is located flush with the PCB side (not hanging over from the PCB).

It helped a lot. The range is much bigger now. Thanks again Wink
