Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V4
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V4, more commonly known as the Heltec V4, is a development board based around the ESP32-S3 microcontroller and the SX1262 LoRa transceiver. It features a 505 mW increase in output power over its predecessor, the Heltec V3, along with additional memory and a solar panel connector.

Models
There are two models of the Heltec V4. The HTIT-WB32LAF is the original model and features the ESP32-S3R2 microcontroller with 2 MB of PSRAM. The newer HTIT-WBR8H features the ESP32-S3R8 microcontroller with 8 MB of PSRAM. This newer model is also known as the Heltec V4-R8, and was likely introduced due to the ESP32-S3R2 becoming end-of-life.
Firmware
The Heltec V4 is supported by the official RNode firmware as of version 1.84.cite-ref-1[1] It is also supported by the microReticulum firmware as of version 1.85.10.cite-ref-2[2]
