How to Determine If You have the Proper USB Type-C Data Cable for the Heltec V3 LoRa IoT Development Board?

Using the correct data cable for the ESP32 is crucial because not all USB cables are created equal. Some USB cables are designed solely for charging and do not support data transfer. If you use a charge-only cable, your computer will not be able to communicate with the ESP32, leading to issues such as the device not being recognized or failing to upload code.

Additionally, poor-quality or damaged cables can cause intermittent connections, resulting in data packet loss during communication. This can lead to errors like �Failed to connect� or �Timed out� when trying to upload code to the ESP3234. To avoid these problems, it�s recommended to use a high-quality USB cable that supports data transfer and ensure it is securely connected to both the computer and the ESP32.

In this article, we will demonstrate clear methods of determining whether you have the correct USB Type-C cable for ESP32.
