Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
To utilize the new ESP32-S3 processor and SX1262 LoRa chip, you will likely need updated libraries that support these components. It's crucial to verify compatibility with your existing libraries. Based on experience with the Wireless Stick Lite, the primary change when transitioning from V1 to V3 was the LoRa library. The older Sandeep Mistry LoRa library is not compatible with the SX1262 LoRa chip, necessitating a migration to the Heltec LoRaWAN_APP library, which involves adapting to different function calls.
Imagine monitoring soil moisture in a distant garden plot that lacks Wi-Fi coverage. You could deploy an ESP32 sensor node with a moisture sensor to transmit readings via LoRa once or twice daily to another ESP32 within Wi-Fi range. This second ESP32 could then host a web server to display the moisture data. This illustrates how LoRa technology can bridge connectivity gaps in your ESP32 projects.
