Support for Heltec v4.3?

[ekjf0943vc]

Hi,

it seems Heltec now only sends out the new hardware revision v4.3, which comes with relevant hardware revisions.
Will you also support the v4.3?
A patch is already out: meshcore-dev/MeshCore#1857

Thank you for your effort!

I don't have a Heltec V4.3. Do you have one? Could you test this firmware? Heltec V4 OLED low power - v1.14_0329

I updated my repeater using heltec_v4_repeater_dev_v1.14_0329.bin . After that, the repeater seems to be mute, which is typical for when the v4.3 is not supported. I can only guess, but you probably tried to incorporate meshcore-dev/MeshCore@1935846 which seems to be the correct step.
The v4.3 runs just fine with the firmware generated from https://mcimages.weebl.me/?commitId=heltec_v4.3 , but, of course, with a heavy power draw.
I am happy to test for you and provide additional information as requested.

"repeater seems to be mute", Could you log in to the repeater? If you could, use the CLI 'board' command to check which board is recognized.

board --> Heltec V4.2 OLED
It is most certainly a v4.3.

I added a slight delay before checking which board it is.

board --> Heltec V4.2 OLED
same result :-(

don't worry

This seems to work, the board is correctly identified and I can also talk to and discover surrounding repeaters.
Works great!

I am closing this feature request as resolved. I have now also tested the latest release version, which works as expected. I can also report that LNA can be turned of as advertised.
I can just say thank you, again.
