LoRa Not Working Please provide a correct license

[bm1001]

I have a Heltec Wi_Fi LoRa 32 V3 board and I’m having trouble getting the LoRa part working with my own code and with the examples.

I can’t get the LoRa.h library working always failed to start LoRa using LoRa.begin(868E6)

The LoRaWan_APP.h library output…

The heltic library fails to start LoRa
#include <heltec.h>

void setup(){
Heltec.begin(true /DisplayEnable Enable/, true /LoRa Disable/, true /Serial Enable/, true /PABOOST Enable/, 868E6 /**/);
}

I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.5

The LoRa library doesn’t support the SX1262 chip in the V3 modules, so it will never work in that environment. The same goes for the ‘heltec’ library. This and other V3 ‘issues’ have been discussed on numerous occasions in this forum—e.g.

Heltec LoRa 32 V3 nightmares

Heltec LoRa 32 V3 in the Arduino 2.0.3 environment has been a nightmare. I did a fresh install of the IDE then added only the latest (0.0.7 & 1.1.1) board manger file and library for this board. I cannot compile anything with bluetooth all though all of the includes seem to be ok.

It is only available for the …

The LoRaWan_APP library always reports the ‘comparison failed’ error but, in my experience, this is of no consequence. I’ve never seen the ‘Please provide a correct license!’ when just using LoRa (as distinct from LoRaWAN), so I can’t comment on that, but there is also plenty of discussion on this subject (LoRaWAN license requirements) if you scan through or search for related forum posts.
