Before operation, please make sure Git and Arduino are correctly installed on you computer. If not, please refer to this document: How to install Git and Arduino IDE

 

Executed commands MUST under the [YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino/hardware path!

  • Open a Git Bash session pointing to [YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino/hardware and execute git clone https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series.git heltec

  • The final development framework location should be [YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec
  • Switch to the heltec directory via cd heltec and execute git submodule update --init --recursive

 

Finish Arduino ESP32 support on Windows

Open /Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec/esp32/tools and double-click get.exe

When get.exe finish, the folder should like this:

Connect your ESP32 board to computer via a high quality USB cable and wait for the CP2102 drivers install automatically (or install manually).

  2. Select your board in Tools > Board menu WiFi_Kit_32 or WiFi_LoRa_32, etc.
  3. Select the COM port that the board is attached to
  4. Compile and upload (You might need to hold the PRG button while uploading)

 

Finish Arduino ESP8266 support on Windows

In the /Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec/esp8266/tools, run the following command to finish ESP8266 tools chain install:

python get.py

After get.py running finish, the folder should like this:

Now the ESP8266 based board are available in the Arduino IDE:

Update to the latest code

Open /Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec created start Git Bash and input git pull!

Wait for git to pull any changes and close Git Bash.
