Pinout description

Pinout for the DT-06 TTL-WiFi module:

Pin 1: STATE (I/O – GPIO4)

This pin serves as the status indicator. It is used to display the network connection status. When the module is connected to a wireless router in STA mode, STATE is at a low level (typically low voltage).

Pin 2: RXD (I/O – GPIO3)

This pin is for receiving data. It can be connected to the UART Rx (receive) pin of an external microcontroller or device.

Pin 3: TXD (I/O – GPIO1)

This pin is for transmitting data. It can be connected to the UART Tx (transmit) pin of an external microcontroller or device.

Pin 4: GND (Power)

This is the ground connection for the module, providing the reference voltage.

Pin 5: VCC (Power)

This is the power supply pin for the module. It operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 6.0V, with the recommended voltage being 5.0V.

Pin 6: EN (I – Enable)

This pin controls the enable/disable state of the module. A high level (logical 1) enables the module to operate normally, while a low level (logical 0) shuts down the module.

Please note that the pins are labeled according to their functions and their corresponding GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) numbers. You can connect these pins to other devices or microcontrollers as needed to establish communication and control with the DT-06 module.

Buttons and LED

SW1 (Button 1):
- Function: This button is used for firmware updates and configuration.
- Connection: It is connected to GPIO0.
- Usage: To download firmware updates, you would typically press SW1 first and then press SW2, followed by releasing both buttons. The exact procedure may vary based on the specific firmware update process.
SW2 (Button 2):
- Function: This button is also used for firmware updates and configuration.
- Connection: It is connected to the RST (reset) pin.
- Usage: Like SW1, SW2 is involved in firmware update processes. You would press SW2 after pressing SW1 as part of the firmware update procedure.
LED: is connected to GPIO4 (General Purpose Input/Output Pin 4). The GPIO4 pin is used to control and indicate the status of the LED on the module.

Original firmware LED Indicators

The DT-06 module has several LED indicators, each with its own function:

LED Indicator 1 (Always On):
- Function: This LED is typically always on.
- Indication: It indicates a successful connection to the wireless router when the module is in STA (Station) mode or STA+AP mode.
LED Indicator 2 (Slow Blinking):
- Function: This LED blinks slowly at regular intervals.
- Indication:
  - In AP (Access Point) mode, it indicates that the module has unsuccessfully connected to the wireless router.
  - In STA mode, it indicates that the module is attempting to connect to a wireless router.
  - In AP+STA mode, it indicates that the module is trying to connect to the wireless router.
LED Indicator 3 (Fast Blinking):
- Function: This LED blinks rapidly.
- Indication: When SW1 or the Flash button is pressed and the module receives data via the serial interface or over the network, this LED will blink rapidly.
LED Indicator 4 (Off):
- Function: This LED remains off.
- Indication: This LED will be off if the WiFi module isn’t functioning due to abnormal power conditions or if it doesn’t have the transparent transmission firmware installed.
