Upgrading Wio-Tracker-1110-Dev-Board to Meshtastic Firmware

Has anybody tried this yet?

successful… but for some reason have to use a different cell phone to pair to the device… what da?

Had you paired that tracker board with the phone already? You might need to unpair in it’s bluetooth settings (on the phone.)

yeah… i ended up pairing with a different phone… it seems the app will only pair to one device
i paired my primary phone to the Tracker-1000-E and my secondary phone to Tracker-1110 Dev-Board

The newest firmware that works on this device is

firmware-wio-tracker-wm1110-2.3.12.24458a7

newer firmware will not boot correctly

Does the board need to have the other modules that come in the kit in order to boot? Or can you just use the board itself?

I only ask because I just tried flashing that firmware with no luck.

no…

you flashed to

firmware-wio-tracker-wm1110-2.3.12.24458a7

2.3.12 anything newer did not work on my device

then pair to device with meshtastic app on phone

Yes I just flashed that one.

Did you flash via drag and drop?

yes what is it not doing now? I had to use a different phone to do this device because i already paired a T1000-E that was crazy

No lights at all. What lights are supposed to be on if successfully flashed?

check your power… should be red and blue… blue is on all the time which is different … before blue only flashed when LoRa was transmitting… also you can connect via serial monitor and see what it is thinking… connect usb to computer and go to meshtastic flasher page and click serial monitor

i noticed pressing the reset button now does nothing to reset… you have to remove the power

I should have clarified. I have the green charge light on. The battery is connected. But no blue or red lights after resetting.

try reflashing with drag and drop reset should show red power then blue after setup runs

the newer versions do not boot after red for some resaon

try complete power off… no battery or usb

cold reset

are you using the exact board at top of page?

Yes Wio Tracker Dev Board. It’s red?

And I performed the cold reset. After dragging and dropping, the blue light continues to flash even after the device no longer appears as a mass storage device

now you connect to it via bluetooth with meshtastic app
also connect to computer meshtastic flasher page serial monitor or other serial monitor to see if it is awake

How quickly is it supposed to blink?

The app doesn’t show the device and my computer doesn’t detect it as a serial device

Does it boot without the screen attached?

yes i just added the screen because i had one… but it ran before i tried… try flashing the newest firmware… then roll back to 2.3… i think it was 2 firmware newer that hung with red only… if you go to stable 2.3 you get life and blue light

Ok progress. When I flash 2.4 I get the red light, but when I try 2.3 it doesn’t seem to flash correctly because the device disconnects and the blue light continues to flash quickly with no red light.

When I unplug the board and plug it back in, there is no lights (except flashing green)
