Summary

 
Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V4 is a fully upgraded version of the classic LoRa development board. Since its
 
initial launch in 2017, this product series has been highly favored by developers and makers. Building
 
upon the powerful features of its predecessors, the V4 version introduces comprehensive optimizations
 
in Transmit Power, power management, expandability and other hardware design. It is suitable for
 
various IoT applications such as smart cities, agricultural monitoring, smart homes, industrial control,
 
security systems, and wireless meter reading, providing developers with a more efficient and flexible
 
development experience.

FAQ

12.4GHz Antenna

      The default 2.4G FPC antenna is located on the side of the plastic screen bracket.

   If you wish to use an IPEX-connected 2.4G antenna, you need to remove the inductor marked as ① in

   the diagram below, and add a 0-ohm resistor (or other conductive metal or cable) at the position

   marked ② to connect to the IPEX interface.

2What development methods does it support?

       ●Arduino

       ●Micro Python

       ●Platform.io

       ●Espressif IDE

    We strongly recommend using Arduino. We have complete technical support and provide complete

    LoRaWAN code for ESP32 Arduino framework.

3What’s the battery socket type?

      You can find this type of socket by search “SH1.25 x 2”.

4Can I order a version without the OLED display?

      Of course, you can contact our sales staff and provide your ideas.

5Are V3 and V4 compatible?

      They are compatible in most scenarios.

      Since V4 uses the same series of chips as V3, features the same OLED, and has an almost identical

      pin layout, V3 and V4 can be used interchangeably in the majority of cases.

      However, due to the increased transmit power, the transmit power settings in some code may no

      longer correspond directly to the actual output.

6Failed to upload code

      Please try the following steps:

      1.Try using a different USB cable.

      2.Enter BootLoader mode. There are two methods to enter this mode:

      ●Hold down the PRG button, connect the USB-C cable, then release the PRG button.

      ●Connect the USB-C cable, hold down the PRG button, press the RST button once, then release the

        PRG button.
