Hi. I got a couple of the above mentioned ESP32 LoRa boards. Does someone know if there is a firmware patch for these somewhere? I can try to make my own, but I have never done it before, so I'm asking first. https://heltec.org/project/wireless-stick-lite-v2/

I somehow managed to patch and flash one of my boards using LiberatedSystems's guide and I think everything went OK. However, rnodeconf is not recognizing my board anyway, and I so can't set it up properly. How should I go on?

No, actually that was just my thought. The actual error is

"Error: Model band and output power capabilities are unknown! The contained exception was: 205"

Well it seems Heltec Lora32 v3 firmware works from rnodeconf --autoinstall. So that's that.

One more question though. Is there a way to see the bluetooth pairing pin without a display, since I don't have one? I could not get it to show up anywhere.

the pairing pin should appear in the command line if you are using `rnodeconf /dev/DEVICE -p` and you attempt to pair with the device

Weird. For some reason it does not appear. I tried bluetoothctl, KDE default gui Bluetooth app, and Sideband (and system settings) on Android.
