Z-Uno RF Test Mode

Z-Uno is a radio emitting device and requires certification in different countries. To help you certify Z-Uno based devices we have added RF Test Mode.

To enter in RF Test Mode you need to connect TX0 and RX0 pins together (see Z-Uno pinout), hold Service button and press Reset button. Repeat the process to switch to next RF Test Mode. The LED will let you know which test mode is currently running.

To go back to normal operational mode of Z-Uno disconnect TX0 from RX0 and press Reset without touching Service button.

Z-Uno 2 can be also turned in RF test mode using zme_make command line tool from the Z-Uno package. The tool is located in .arduino15/packages/Z-Uno2/tools/zme_make/x.y.z
