Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3 RadioHead library

#1

Hey, does anyone know how to get the RadioHead library working with the Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3?

Doubtful LoRaWAN will let you stream a Rock Band from the 90s:rofl:

Not sure what you’re fully asking, what IDE are you using?

  1. Arduino IDE -> Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries -> Search Radiohead and Install

  2. Tools -> Board -> Heltec ESP32 … -> Wifi LoRa 32 V3

  3. Files -> Examples -> Scroll down to Examples from Custom Libraries and fine RadioHead

Well… one quick read through the README of RadioHead shows it expects the RFM95 chip ≠ SX1262 so you’re out of luck on that one. You’ll need to use another library.

I’m trying to get the RadioHead library to work with the SX1262 chip on the Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3 because I want to create a mesh network. The problem is that every time I use the init() function, it returns false and doesn’t initialize the driver.

I’m using PlatformIO as my IDE.

From the documentation, it’s written that RadioHead also supports SX126x drivers, but there’s no example to follow to make the chip work. I would like to use RadioHead because it provides many features for creating a mesh network.

I’m using the latest version of the library: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/

Judging from these words, I wouldn’t be too optimistic.

hello

any updates on it?
