Sending data over LoRa with Heltec ESP32 WifiKit. Having two ESp32 boards, the first test that come in mind is to send some packets!

Remember to connect the antenna to the board, as the producer reccomends, to avoid damage on the SX127x chip.

Make sure that you have set the ESP32 board in Arduino IDE. Look on internet or this article.

Next step, install heltec, LoRa (from Sandeep Mistry) and SSD1306 (from Daniel Eichhorn) display libraries:

The program for testing is sourced from alictronix.

Sender program

Receiver program

Upload the code to each board, and then wait for results:

 

Happy blinking!

    Hello. thanks for all the information available. I have a question. is there a function in the library that allows us to confirm that the message has been delivered? Or it is up to us to implement a callback confirming the integrity of the message. Or any other technique that allows the recipient to confirm that every message has been received. So let the sender know that everything is ok. does this have to be implemented by us?

      this messages are not like in TCP protocol, more likely as UDP: the packet is sent without waiting for a confirmation

    An excellent article, I read many articles on this topic and tried various sketches, it does not work, I thought that the module was out of order and then I came across your article. Thank!

    Hello, a question that goes well with the name of your site: How do you get Lora.print() to understand an escaped ” character??
    Let’s say I want to send ‘hello “you”‘, then I’ve tried Lora.print(“hello \”you\””), but on the receive side, it really receives the backslash and the doublequotes, and it will print ‘hello \”you\”‘ instead of ‘hello “you”‘.
