HELTEC AUTOMATION 2A2GJHTIT Wi-Fi BLE LoRa node

 Introduction

The Wireless Stick is an Arduino compatible network development board (LoRa, WiFi, Bluetooth). With ultra mini size, fit in a standard breadboard (with), A tiny 64*32 OLED display and Lithium Battery Management (with SH1.25-2P socket) system also assembled on board. It’s the best choice for your IoT project development. The Wireless Stick had a well-matched RF circuit, providing good and stable RF signal. We also provide an Arduino library for the LoRaWAN stack, makes it can directly connect to any standard LoRa gateway via LoRaWAN protocol. The main control chip of this product is Xtensa LX6 32bit dual-core processor: ESP32. a powerful CPU, provide BLE and state-of-the-art WiFi radio.

 Development environment installation

Driver installation
For Mac OS, Ubuntu, Windows 7 or above operating system, the driver is automatically installed, if not automatically installed or prompted error, please go to Silicon Labs official website to download and install the latest version of the driver： CP210X version driver download address（As we tested, we found that the driver of the CP210x series chip version 6.7.0.0 is the most stable. This version is highly recommended: download link） To Windows operating system, for example, if the drive is installed, you can in the “Device Manager – port” to see a similar message:

Development environment installation
All the operations are based on that your computer had installed the newest Arduino IDE. The Wireless Stick development board belongs to the HelTec WIFI Kit series. For the installation of the development environment, please refer to the Heltec WIFI Kit series development environment:The latest installation method is posted at this address <http://www.heltec.cn/the-installation

-method-of-wifi-kit-series-products-in-arduino-development- environment/?lang=en If everything is ok, you can find the Wireless Stick development board in the Tools – Development Board menu. As shown in Figure 2-1:

You can find the board Arduino routines for various resources in the “Examples” menu, which you can compile directly and download to your WIFI Kit development board. Attention to the corresponding development board model, choose the wrong model may lead to compile errors. As shown in Figure 2-2:

Notice

• Wireless Stick have an SH1.25-2P Lithium battery socket, you may need a normal SH1.25 wire to connect with a battery.
• The LoRa communication function of the Wireless Stick must be used with an antenna with suitable frequency. If there is no antenna, the LoRa chip may be damaged. The IPEX interface is left on the development board, but the antenna is not equipped. Please purchase the antenna separately.
