      Is it possible to delete the firmware of the lopy and use it as esp32?. Or can I put the firmware of the esp32? I want to use it with C++ and PlatformIO code.
      I would very much appreciate any help from you.

        @Arturo-Catano Sure. There are no locks on the device. You can use esptool.py or any other suitable software to handle that. The only hiccup may be, that the Lopy does not support the espressif mode of switching into the bootloader. For that, you have to manually connect P2 to GND and push reset.

            @livius Obviously this is only an option if you want to use a device which you already have purchased. Otherwise it is easier to take any plain vanilla ESP32 board. You can also use the LoRa chip of the LoPy. You just have to tell from the source code which pins are used for the communication to the chip.
