I have been trying to get my 2 Heltec V3 Lora 32 devices to work for the last week. I am TOTALLY FRUSTRATED since I CANNOT connect the board serially (fails each time. Have installed correct driver), cannot COMPILE any sketch with the same error message (shown below) unless I try using a Lora32 V2 board and then I get a wrong ESP32 error message and have tried 2 PCs, new type-c cables, deleted Arduino IDE and re-installed IDE about 25 times, gone through your protocol to install the V3 software and have COMPLETELY RUN OUT OF IDEAS. I cannot believe I am the ONLY person having these issues. If I CANNOT get this device working soon, the devices are going back to AMAZON for a complete refund. I have NEVER had an Arduino experience like this and I am NOT HAPPY. I am too old (79 years) to have to put up with this incompetence (am a retired Electrical Engineer with years of computer experience!!).
Here are my error messages:
