Can only guess

  • usb port doesnot provide enough power
  • faulty cable
  • sketch problem
#3

discard the two first. i already tested the cable and the usb port.

I have exactly the same problem.

It is resolved in this thread: LoRaWAN Library doesn´t work

You need to install the Heltec boards using this repository: https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series. Download the repository in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware

Then unzip it and execute this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\WiFi_Kit_series\esp32\tools\get.exe

After it finished the instalation, open arduino and choose the correct board (in my case it appears two heltecs LoRa Wifi V2 boards). It should appear something like this when you choose the board:

Once you do all of this it should work. At least for me did it and I had the same problem.

I hope it works also for you!
