Can be configured as open-drain or pull-up input.4TXDOutputTTL UART outputs, connects to external RXD (MCU, PC) inputpin. Can be configured as open-drain or push-pull output5AUXOutputTo indicate module’s working status & wakes up the external MCU. During the procedure of self-check initialization, the pin outputs low level. Can be configured as open-drain output orpush-pull output (floating is allowed).6VCCPower supply 2.3V~5.5V DC7GNDGroundAs you can see you can set various modes via M0 and M1 pins.ModeM1M0ExplanationNormal00UART and wireless channel is good to goWke-Up01Same as normal but a preamble code is added to transmitted data for waking-up the receiver.Power-Saving10UART is disable and wireless is on WOR(wake on radio) mode which means the device will turn on when there is data to be received. Transmission is not allowed.Sleep11Used in setting parameters. Transmitting and receiving disabled.As you can see there are some pins that can be use in a static way, but If you connect It to the library you gain in performance and you can control all mode via software, but we are going to explain better next.Fully connected schemaAs I already say It’s not important to connect all pin to the output of microcontroller, you can put M0 and M1 pins to HIGH or LOW to get desidered configuration, andif you don’t connect AUX the library set a reasonable delay to be sure that the operation is complete.AUX pinWhen transmitting data can be used to wake up external MCU and return HIGH on data transfer finish.LoRa E32 AUX Pin on transmissionWhen receiving AUX going LOW and return HIGH when buffer is empty.LoRa e32 AUX pin on receptionIt’s also used for self checking to restore normal operation (on power-on and sleep/program mode).LoRa e32 AUX pin on self-checkesp8266 connection schema is more simple because It work at the same voltage of logical communications (3.3v).LoRa E32 TTL 100 Wemos D1 fully connectedIt’s important to add pull-up resistor (4,7Kohm) to get good stability.M0D7M1D6RXPIN D2 (PullUP 4,7KΩ)TXPIN D3 (PullUP 4,7KΩ)AUXD5 (Input)3.3vGNDArduino working voltage is 5v, so we need to add a voltage divider on RX pin M0 and M1 of LoRa module to prevent damage, you can get more information hereVoltage divider: calculator and application.You can use a 2Kohm resistor to GND and 1Kohm from signal than put together on RX.LoRa E32 TTL 100 Arduino fully connectedM07 (Voltage divider)M16 (Voltage divider)RXPIN D2 (PullUP 4,7KΩ & Voltage divider)TXPIN D3 (PullUP 4,7KΩ)AUX5 (Input)VCC3.3vGNDGNDBasic configuration optionADDHHigh address byte of module (the default 00H)00H-FFHADDLLow address byte of module (the default 00H)00H-FFHSPEDInformation about data rate parity bit and Air data rateCHANCommunication channel（410M + CHAN*1M）, default 17H (433MHz),valid only for 433MHz device00H-1FHOPTIONType of transmission, pull-up settings, wake-up time, FEC, Transmission powerSPED detailUART Parity bit:  _UART mode can be different between communication parties|7|6|UART parity bit|Const value|

The module changes its address and channel when transmit. And it will revert to original setting after complete the process.7Fixed transmission enabling bit（similar to MODBUS）Constant value0Transparent transmission modeFT_TRANSPARENT_TRANSMISSION1Fixed transmission modeFT_FIXED_TRANSMISSIONIO drive mode: this bit is used to the module internal pull- up resistor. It also increases the level’s adaptability in case of open drain.

Only the data from transmitter that works in mode 1 can bereceived.543wireless wake-up timeConstant value000250ms (default)WAKE_UP_250001500msWAKE_UP_500010750msWAKE_UP_7500111000msWAKE_UP_10001001250msWAKE_UP_12501011500msWAKE_UP_15001101750msWAKE_UP_17501112000msWAKE_UP_2000FEC: after turn off FEC, the actual data transmission rate increases while anti- interference ability decreases.
