I created a comprehensive library for those that would prefer to use the Heltec ESP32 LoRa v3 board with RadioLib. Working examples, no more figuring out which half-mandarin repo to use, everything easy-to-use and properly documented. LoRaWAN TTN example with deep sleep between sends, using RTC RAM for medium-term persistence (meaning mostly FCntUp), so the flash doesn’t die on you.
@rop meet Steve @stevencellist , Steve meet Rop…perhaps you might explain what you have been up to wrt RadioLib, LoRaWAN & Heltec boards 
We’ve met, but thanks!
LOL… we’ve… uh… ‘met’ indeed!
It doesn’t compile …
Ah, you may need to briefly uninstall RadioLib because this one (for a limited time only) includes my fork and that might confuse the compiler.

Ah, I’ve only tested with Arduino IDE, not with PlatformIO. RST_LoRa should come from Heltec’s boatrd definitions’ pins_arduino.h if you selected this board. I guess I should just #define these pins and not depend on that. Will fix.
As for the EUI placeholders: They must have fallen off in my last copy-paste, put them back in now.
See if what’s in the repo now works better: I defined the GPIO pins locally, added the EUI placeholders back into the example
Whats the deep sleep current ?
“Ultimate” library is a bold claim given work that needs doing and testing required, plus all the work still being done under the hood by RadioLib team and LW specifics being implemented by others on TTN. Forgive me if title amended as a minuimum…… as Google et al have a habit of picking up incomplete implementations or ones with flaws/incomplete functionality and propagating so considering with team how best to handle whilst not dampening enthusiasm for such efforts and projects.
To be honest I am only really set up here to measure USB power, where the ESP32 deep sleep power would be negligible compared to the USB serial converter and the battery charging IC. I would love to have something like the cheap and simple power-over-time tool I have for USB to exist for 3.7V LiPo.
That said, I was curious also, so I just now hooked up my multimeter in series with the LiPo and am measuring 622 µA with the ESP32 in deep sleep. So that would discharge my 2000 mAh LiPo in 19 weeks. I’ve never before really played with ESPs in deep sleep, but there’s all these peripherals one can keep alive or turn off, so there may be more we can do. I’ll leave it all hooked up so I can maybe play a little.
I’ve had some time with a couple of different Heltec boards - powering them down completely needs a bit of trickery, but I have had their V3 boards down to 19 uA!
Unfortunately, that trick only works when the clock is the only wake-up source; using GPIO wake-up sources so far got me down to about 120 uA. A select few pin & level configurations should allow for powering down the ESP’s peripheral manager and maybe get it below 120 uA, but that’s a theory I did not test yet.
Sure, I’m a bit enthusiastic about it. But seriously, what’s there not to like? This library will get people to working stuff faster than anything else, is far, far, far better documented than what’s out there for this board, has working examples, and includes a working LoRaWAN / TTN example that has deep sleep and doesn’t eat the flash. (The existing examples for ESP32 that use flash write the entire flash “EEPROM” image to NVS storage every send, doing a 400-something byte write every send and a 4k page erase every eight sends.)
I have no ambitions of maintaining a RadioLib fork for long, and will go back to depending on stock RadioLib instead as soon as there’s the mechanism to deal with state with more granularity, which is in the works. The only difference now is the inclusion of my own RTC RAM EEPROM-emulation.
I think that if you want to use RadioLib on this board and get things actually working, this library kicks ass. IMHO it deserves a title that reflects the fact that I did a ton of work to make things easier to use and that it finally properly documents this hardware in one place? Current title sounds a bit bland to be honest. How about:
Well-documented Arduino library for Heltec ESP32 v3, RadioLib, TTN deep sleep example
The use of goto & the setup() as the main function along with the preprocessor constructs are likely to catch out a number of people.
Additionally, RadioLib LoRaWAN support is marked as being in beta and you appear to have copied a version that the developers say have some issues that are being resolved. They appear to be slowed down by your ‘contributions’ that haven’t been accepted so you appear to have gone your own way - this is not how we roll on TTN, we are a community.
By your own admission you are new to LW - perhaps read a bit more, learn a bit more, deploy lots and let things cook before making such bold claims.
I’d be happy to save me some work if you send how you did that as a starting point. Library has #define HELTEC_POWER_BUTTON if people want to use the button for power (long-press to turn off). So if that’s not set, like in the TTN example, I can turn off the GPIO hardware and only wake up on clock.
Responding on iPad so not best environment to give careful considered responses with longer reasoning, let me get to PC later…. But for now I would discourage this as its clear your enthusiasm is running a way with you and whilst I don’t doubt good intent supporting individual requests rather than the core developers focussing on dev/test cycles then doing proper releases for all to consider vs individual information not most efficient way and no doubt, Given you draw on others work in your release, will maybe then see a rushed release from you with “ultimate deep sleep” or some such that is not (by Steve’s admission) yet fully implemented and tested!
Note have been testing in the background on behalf of the team for 4+ months - not a softie or dev, but good at testing/breaking things! - and am in process of doing controlled battery life tests under different modes for Steve at moment and consider it still early days and not yet fully baked with foibles we need to confirm and understand/fix….
Looking back at the complete discussion over on GitHub, I do not see a single “thank you” or “great work, guys!”.
Would you like to take a guess how much time Mr. Gromes spent building RadioLib’s LoRaWAN stack? Would you like to take a guess how much time Mr. Nick here spent testing RadioLib’s LoRaWAN stack? Would you like to take a guess at how much time I spent building RadioLib’s LoRaWAN stack? No, I’m not even going to try to estimate that, because I would go cry in a corner, if not throw my PC out of the attic window.
This is just the roughest of rough indications…:
Yet you come barging in here, claiming to have “the ultimate” library, having hijacked RadioLib into a personal fork because you can do it better, asking for me to send you more stuff. Nah bro.
Maybe consider actually using Heltec forum’s Search button. Oh, no, you wouldn’t know, because you only just signed up there…
I have been trying my best to keep my s**t together, in combined effort with @descartes. And as you can see, this here has been my tipping point.
