This module is a versatile and popular choice for wireless communication projects, especially in scenarios where you need longer-range communication.

The HC-12 is a wireless transceiver module that operates in the 433MHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band. It is known for its ease of use and versatility in wireless communication projects. Here are some key features and details about the HC-12 module:

1. Frequency Range: The HC-12 module operates in the 433MHz frequency range, specifically from 433.4MHz to 473.0MHz. This range is popular for long-range communication and is well-suited for various applications.

2. Communication Range: The module's communication range can vary depending on factors such as antenna quality, power supply voltage, and interference. In open field conditions, it can achieve a range of up to 1000 meters when properly configured.

3. Adjustable Baud Rate: The HC-12 module supports adjustable baud rates, typically ranging from 1200bps to 115200bps. You can choose a baud rate that suits your specific application requirements.

4. Multiple Communication Channels: It offers up to 100 communication channels, allowing you to set different modules to different channels to avoid interference when multiple modules are used in the same vicinity.

5. Low Power Consumption: The HC-12 module is designed for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. However, the power consumption may vary depending on the operating mode and transmission power.

6. Built-in Error Correction: The module includes error correction mechanisms to improve the reliability of data transmission.

7. Configuration Modes: The HC-12 module has different configuration modes, including a transparent mode and a command mode. In transparent mode, it acts as a wireless UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter), allowing you to send and receive serial data wirelessly. In command mode, you can configure various settings using AT commands.

8. Firmware Updates: Some versions of the HC-12 module support firmware updates, enabling you to keep the module up to date with the latest features and improvements.

9. Compact Size: The module is relatively small, making it easy to integrate into various projects and devices.
