### What libraries do I need?

For MicroPython, Mike Causer is currently developing a comprehensive library for this LoRa E5 Shield. It covers using it with the Helium Network, the Things Network as some P2P stuff as well.

A link to his MP library will be posted here once it’s published.

For Arduino development, Seeed have a library with examples available at [https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Seeed\_Arduino\_LoRaE5](https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Seeed_Arduino_LoRaE5)

There are also CircuitPython examples available if you search on Google.

**NOTE: When using libraries provided by other people, please remember to enable the 3V3 regulator as it is off by default.**
