Need help clarifying the Heltec I have for Arduino

#1

Hey everyone , I recently bought A Heltec wireless stick V3. This one to be exact https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07S5XLP6Q?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image . Do I use “Heltec wireless stick” board even though It’s not saying V3 or should I just go with the one that says
“Heltec Wifi LoRa 32 (V3)/ Wireless shell (V3) / Wireless stick lite (V3)”

. I tried to do a factory test on Arduino and while uploading it said fatal error occurred:This chip is Esp-S3 not esp32. I had the board manager on wireless stick.

You must use “Heltec Wifi LoRa 32 (V3)/ Wireless shell (V3) / Wireless stick lite (V3)” as this is effectively what specifies the ESP32-S3 chip. And you must make sure that any libraries you use support the ESP32-S3 and SX1262 LoRa chips.
