Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V4), ESP32S3 + SX1262 LoRa Node, Meshtastic & LoRaWAN

HelTec V4 best Node board for personal use

The V4 is what the V3 wanted to be...very slick implementation. 600mw on TX and good receiver. Only catch is that with it's current firmware, it turns off the receiver preamplifier when in sleep mode. This makes it unsuitable to repeater use. There are work-arounds, but hopefully it will be fixed in firmware,

Exceeded my requirements.

Great if the software gets its self right

This is my first meshtastic device but I understand its a work in progress, however after flashing the new firmware to it after the first day, the integrated GNSS stopped working due to heltecs special gp10 layout and meshtastics custom tx rx and en inputs requiring specific values. Everything else has worked well and the learning curves small with little to no issues.
