We are all learning mate, goodjob for getting started. I just bought my 4x heltec V3 recently and I'm open minded to the potential

Many thanks for showing well explain got all mine working.

The devices didin't show up for me. But thanks to your video i found the Silicon Labs CP210x driver that solved the issue.

Now that I have the build of these devices under my belt its time to start experimenting with the modules that can be attached. Since my main device is on the roof and solar powered i want to add a camera if possible to keep an eye on the sky at night. I plan to install a normal outdoor camera but if this works it might be what I am looking for in a cheapo package.

Hi, good video. TLS: secure connection HTTPS:// I have bricked one by accidentally unplugging it during flashing and it is an easy recovery just by flashing it again. I had an IPEX plug with a short cable, it was an antenna for an RC car receiver, I soldered a 47 ohm resistor on it so it works as a dummy load when experimenting, easier and safer than the antenna. I have a GPS and Environment board (£3 eBay) on one of my Heltek boards, gives temperature and air pressure, that one is going on the top of my radio mast as a repeater once IT STOPS RAINING. Tech Minds UKposts has a good video on adding the environment board. Meshtastic is fun and cheap. 73 Ron

I have tried about 8 different cables that all work with other devices to transmit data but I cannot get my computer to recognize my heltec v3. Anyone have any suggestions? Super frustrating

One is missing is the windows drivers for it to format the firmware.

Regarding the V3 vs 3.1 version, apparently 3.1 boards have problems with the OLED compared to the 3.0 version. (Have a google)

What are the pins that come with it used for?

I am discouraged at the moment. My exact heltec v3 will not pair bluetooth no matter what i do. i can't connect to it to set region, etc.

Im in the US.can i communicate with people in the EU?

Do you have a link for the Heltec case seen at beginning? Thanks. I'm kidding, I'm just repeating what everybody is asking on Ringway Manchester's last video about reccommended settings. 🤣😂 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cKR6qXiof2xq2XU.html

Nice, I just ordered one direct, I hope it's 3.1, it just says 3 on the website. Looks like fun :) 73 M0TGK
