Working with LoRa 32 V3

[jolitti]

After working for some time on an expressif ESP32, I formed a preference for micropython over C++ for low-intensity processing. Now I just received a couple of Heltec LoRa 32 V3 boards and I wanted to know if it's possible to use its LoRa capabilities with micropython.

Thanks for the attention

@jolitti Yes, there are a range of different implementations of drivers for the various LoRa chips (e.g. SX126x, SX127x), including one in development in micropython-lib -- micropython/micropython-lib#501.

I can't tell from the product page what chip your board uses.

If you're after LoRaWAN support rather than just direct LoRA then there are other third-party libraries available for this too.

I've looked up the datasheet and the V3 uses a SX1262. Is the library usable at this point or should I wait before trying it?
