Required Software

Installing the development framework

Heltec provides an Arduino-based development framework that includes basic ESP32 code and sample Wi-Fi HaLow code.

For installation, please refer to this link: Heltec ESP_HaLow Development Framework Installation Guide.

Programming

Once you have the framework and libraries installed, connect your computer to the board and start programming nodes.

Example:

  1. Connect your node to the computer with a USB cable.

  2. Open Arduino IDE -> Tools, correctly select the board.
