Porting arduino code to platformio

1

Hi, hoping for some help here.

I have a variety of arduino sketches that use lilygo boards (primarily tsim7080g and lora-32 t3_v1. 6.1)

They upload fine using arduino ide, but when I try and upload them using platform io they upload, but certain things don’t work.

For example I am using a lora-32 t3_v1.6.1 with a we-act screen. The arduino sketch works and the screen initialises. When uploading with platformio it uploads correctly but the screen does not work.

Google gemini suggests that it is how platformio handles libraries.

Is there a specific reason why this transition is so complex?

Heltec boards are not well supported in PlatformIO since there is no support for the Heltec modified Arduino core. There are already some topics about that in this forum, e.g., https://community.platformio.org/t/how-to-use-the-heltec-wireless-tracker-esp32s3-sx1262-gps-lora-node-meshtastic-and-lorawan-compatible.
