I bought a few "Seamuing LoRa GPS modules from Amazon, and assume that it is designed by Heltec Automation, but i am not sure anymore, as i cannot find that (GPS) module version on their site. I followed all installation guidelines for use on Arduino IDE, but the IDE keeps giving the error “A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header”
What is "SEAMUING" in the Seamuing LoRa GPS module
You can reference this page.

Forget “SEAMUING”, and use the CUBECELL library for this (ASR650x core) HELTEC module!!! It was terrible to find the correct library, as there is NO paper included in the package, NO link on this or other sales sites, and terrible, unsatisfactory support answers from seller, Heltec and Amazon. It is NOT a (Heltec) esp32 module, (so you cannot upload code from Arduino IDE with that library), but a (GPS) type of the Heltec “Cubecell” range of modules. Works now fine, and in the Cubecell pages (of Heltec) you can find great examples, like the (factory) installed “Test program”, including GPS info on the display, and LoRa package transmission result info. Nobody was able to tell me what the () name “Seamuing” is in the Amazon title, so better forget that
