Description of Components

① TWELITE

TWELITE is a wireless microcontroller module used for communication with other TWELITE modules.

② ESP32

Wireless LAN module by Espressif Systems.

③ 7P Interface (TWELITE)

Interface used for updating the TWELITE application. Normally not used.

This is the terminal to connect to TWELITE R3 / R2. Please connect with the correct orientation. Incorrect connection may cause damage.

Power supply is not provided from here. Power is supplied from the USB-C connector.

The following is the signal pin correspondence table:

Name	Signal Name	TWELITE	Description
GND	GND	20, 28, 30, 31, 32	GND
TXD	DIO6	8	UART (PC RX)
PRG	SPIMISO	2	Enter program mode at startup when Low level
RXD	DIO7	9	UART (PC TX)
RST	RESETN	21	Reset at Low level
VCC	-	-	Not connected (Power supplied from side)
SET	DIO12	13	Extended control signal

④ 7P Interface (ESP32)

Interface used for writing ESP32 applications. Normally used for firmware development.

This is the terminal to connect to TWELITE R3 / R2. Please connect with the correct orientation. Incorrect connection may cause damage.

Power supply is not provided from here. Power is supplied from the USB-C connector.

The following is the signal pin correspondence table:

Name	Signal Name	ESP32	Description
GND	GND	1, 38	GND
TXD	IO1	35	UART (PC RX)
PRG	IO0	25	Enter program mode at startup when Low level
RXD	IO3	34	UART (PC TX)
RST	EN	3	Reset at Low level
VCC	-	-	Not connected (Power supplied from side)
SET	IO2	24	Extended control signal

⑤ Reset Switch (TWELITE)

Resets TWELITE.

⑥ Reset Switch (ESP32)

EN switch of ESP32. Resets ESP32.

⑦ Boot Switch (ESP32)

BOOT switch of ESP32.

Pressing this switch while resetting puts ESP32 into programming mode.

⑧ LED (TWELITE)

Status LED for TWELITE.

In the parent/relay app, the LED lights up at startup or when receiving the command from the super-easy! standard app to pull DO1 Low.

⑨ LED (ESP32)

Status LED for ESP32.

In MWings, passing pin number 18 as the second argument to Twelite.begin() lights this LED at startup, on packet reception, and command transmission.

⑩ USB-C Connector

Power supply only. No signal lines connected.

⑪ Grove I2C Connector (ESP32)

Connected to ESP32’s I2C port (IO21, 22). Can be used to connect OLED displays, etc.

⑫ TWELITE PCB Antenna

MW-A-P1934 PCB antenna.

TWELITE dedicated 2.4GHz inverted F-type antenna formed by circuit patterns on the board.

⑬ Antenna Direction Mark

Indicates the polarization direction of the antenna.

Please align the antenna direction mark with that of the TWELITE series device you are communicating with as much as possible.

Precautions

Changing TWELITE Settings

Frequency channels and other settings are changed from the ESP32. Unlike other products, interactive mode cannot be used from the 7P interface. Settings are done using the TWELITE dedicated Arduino library prepared for ESP32.

The 7P interface on the TWELITE side is only used for updating the SPOT dedicated parent app.

About the 7P Interface

Power supply is not provided from the 7P interface. When connecting TWELITE R series, please supply power from the USB-C connector.

About USB Power Supply

Please use an AC adapter that can supply 5V / 1A or more with low noise.

Connecting to a PC

When rewriting the ESP32 firmware, remove the cover of the TWELITE SPOT and connect the TWELITE R3 / R2 to the 7P interface (side marked ESP) as shown below.

Connect the TWELITE R3 / R2 in the same orientation as shown below. Incorrect connection may damage the TWELITE SPOT or TWELITE R3 / R2.

Installation

Please satisfy the following conditions as much as possible.

Point the antenna direction mark vertically (up/down)
- It is preferable to install with the antenna direction mark facing up, but facing down does not cause significant impact.
Align the antenna direction mark of TWELITE SPOT and the child device.
Do not place obstacles between TWELITE SPOT and child devices.

For detailed installation methods of the TWELITE series, please refer to the Installation Guide - For Good Communication.

Disposal

When disposing of this device, please follow the ordinances and regulations of your local government. For details, please contact your local government.
