Having problems with LoRa on V3 Wireless stick

#1

Do I need to download any new Libraries or Factor test?

Yes, you need to look at the V3 factory test for details on how to configure LoRa on the V3 boards—they use a different LoRa chip (SX1262 vs SX1276) and require a different library (which also requires different function calls to use LoRa).

Thanks Pete, can you give me the links for V3 factory test. And the link for the different function to use LoRa. GitHub etc. There’s no factory test on Arduino for the esp32-s3 Heltec chip. Also the LoRa examples on Arduino for this board can’t compile

The factory test is in the IDE examples for the V3 boards—File > Examples > Heltec-Example > Factory_Test > Wireless_stick_lite_V3_FactoryTest. I don’t know if there’s a more recent version of the Heltec support code than 0.0.7 that I’m using that includes a Wireless_stick_V3_FactoryTest, but the ‘lite’ version should do everything other than the display in any case.

If you can’t see the examples, you probably need to update your support software—see
