-
PS Pin: Connect the PS pin to ground. After power-down and restart, the module will enter I2C mode. In this mode, the customer can directly operate the sensor. The module’s MCU will not interact with the sensor, ensuring no power consumption from the MCU.
-
TTL Level: The module uses TTL level (1/0), which can be directly connected to a microcontroller’s UART or chips such as CH340, FT232, etc. However, it should not be directly connected to a computer’s 9-pin serial port.
