Review HELTEC Module (WIFI LoRa 32) 915-868Mhz for LoRaWAN #4

I have been collecting information about functional nodes for basic LoRaWAN tests for a while. This time I present the HELTEC LoRa 32 v1 Wifi module, it collects several interesting functions in IoT applications.

This node is the integration of an ESP32 and a LoRa Chip SX1276 (868-915Mhz) 0.96 inch Oled screen, usb-serial converter CP2102.

Upcoming LoRaWAN integrations

We have done a lot of tests, looking for functional and replicable LoRaWAN possibilities, some time ago I made tests with a library created in ESP-IDF using FreeRTOS, I consider the best implementation that can be found on the Internet, next tutorials we will perform tests.

Conclusions

This module is the mixture of an ESP32 + Oled + SX1276, perfect for those who start in LoRa and the most experienced people who want to start in LoRaWAN, in our case we have carried out tests with LoRaWAN libraries implemented in ESP-IDF of Espressif.
