Hello,
I am currently using the Heltec Wireless Stick V3 module for a project. This project requires both transmitting and receiving messages via LoRa, as well as using a TFT screen (model 2.0 TFT SPI ver1.1) that operates with the SPI protocol.
However, I have encountered a problem: the default configuration of the Heltec board reserves the pins used by the LoRa module, preventing me from properly connecting the pins of my TFT screen. To work around this, I used alternative pins to connect the screen and modified the SPI bus using the SPIClass class.
When I specify a new SPI bus with the command SPIClass mySPI1(2), the TFT screen does not work, but the LoRa module functions correctly. Conversely, if I do not modify the SPI bus (i.e., I do not define SPIClass mySPI1(2)), the TFT screen works properly, but the LoRa module stops functioning.
For this project, it is essential that I use both the LoRa module and the TFT screen, which share the SPI protocol. As I am new to Heltec boards, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.
