　Matrix(n=2) - 5m<br />
　Lite(n=2) - 8m, 10m</p>
<p dir="auto">And also, I found the IO0 port driven by CH552 is 3.9V@ESP32. This level is NG in Absolute Maximum Ratings of ESP32. With another ESP32 device - Wemos D1 R32 - I found same issue and reported it to espressif github issue :<br />

<p dir="auto">Just an experiment (NOT solution), I connected IO0 to 3.3V of Lite, then the effective range was expand from 8m(purple) to over 14m(light blue) (n=1).</p>

<p dir="auto">I wish the improvement by CH552 VCC 5V-&gt;3.3V on next board rev of ATOM lite and matrix.</p>
