Big ESP32 + SX127x topic part 2

On the picture below (been taken from this URL), we may see that there are some 0.96 OLED modules that needs no VCC and GND wires crossing.
This item seems to be one of them (with oval mounting holes).

Hello, I can not figure it out. Perhaps someone can make an instruction how to create a device on the EsP32 (heltek board, sx1276) from scratch. I tried, but I do not even compile the code above.

“I cannot figure it out”, figure out what?
You have a Heltec LoRa Wifi 32 board?
What do you mean with “instruction how to create a device”?
Which “above code” did not compile (and in which IDE)?

Have you read the topic start and have you tried running the ttn-abp and ttn-otaa examples first?

I have this board. https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/SX1278-ESP32-LoRa-0-96-Inch-Blue-OLED-Display-Bluetooth-WIFI-Lora-Kit-32-Module-IOT/32825749403.html?src=google&albch=search&acnt=479-062-3723&isdl=y&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&albcp=273906556&albag=7991704636&slnk=&trgt=aud-165594907443:dsa-55226941396&plac=&crea=64152647716&netw=g&device=c&mtctp=b&memo1=1t1&albbt=Google_7_search&aff_platform=google&gclid=CjwKCAjw-8nbBRBnEiwAqWt1zW3aWlVeBkMNChsEcbjbNmd3MCjLGsx-_j1G210JQ7C3JXqZjBhzhRoCcRsQAvD_BwE
I want to make a final device with a configurable SF.

Okay . I roughly realized my mistakes. Sorry for bothering

  1. Learn how to format your posts. Do not simply cut-and-paste code.
  2. If something does not compile, tell us what the issue is. Error messages? Show them.

Does anyone use Micropython to connect this board to the TTN? I cannot find a library that has those functions.

Hey! I have a Heltec Wifi Lora ESP32 board. When I tried running the ttn-abp code, it is able to send the payload once, and it won’t continue to send after that. In the serial monitor output, it never runs the EV_TXCOMPLETE.

In my config.h file, I have set it to #define CFG_us915 and #define CFG_sx1276_radio. I have set the appropriate network session key and application session key. Is there a wiring issue that I might’ve skipped over? Would it be on the TTN side of not configuring something?

const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
    .nss = 18, 
    .rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
    .rst = 14,
    .dio = {/*dio0*/ 26, /*dio1*/ 33, /*dio2*/ 32}

My optional 0.96 OLED front panel is a remix of this Thing .

I found another OLED with 1.3" and has the “strange” pin layout too :wink:
The overall size is high: 33.5mm width: 35.4mm
could you please give me the size of the board? I couldn’t find it. Thanks

My T-Beam’s PCB size is (LxH) : 100x33 mm

It would be nice if you put the files online on Thingiverse and GitHub, too.

Sure I will, but not today.

Where is the best place to buy the Heltec Wifi LoRa 32?

you find it on some amazon sites, probably fastet way to get one. If you not, you can order it on Aliexpress.

Cased my TTGO T-Beam, thanks to the creator of the case! Printed by 3d hubs print service.

Can you say how much 3d hubs charged for the print ?

I paid 17,92€ including shipping (tracked). My order was routed to a print service in norther Germany (Joerg in Schortens).
4 days until delivery.

I see blue light coming from battery status LEDs, so you have one of the very first revisions of the T-Beam, right?
Does the window in the lid match your antenna connector ? I saw this picture before for the board similar to yours:


p2-enc-ant


In the revision (t22_v6 21080705) of the T-Beam’s PCB that I’ve used while doing this enclosure design, antenna connector is in 1 mm off the centerline.

Yes, my TTGO T-Beam is probably an early type. Got it from Liliygo as sample for fitting paxcounter to it. Case matches exactly in all dimensions.
