## Meshtastic firmware on V1.1 hardware

In hardware version V1.1, the control pin of the GNSS chip power supply was changed to GPIO3, so the official firmware of Meshtatic cannot make it work properly now. Users can temporarily use this version until Meshtastic official accept our PR.

Download the [Temporary Pack for Wireless Tracker](https://resource.heltec.cn/download/Meshtastic/firmware-2.2.15.31c4693-temp.zip), flashing with the CLI by following [this document](https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/esp32/cli-script).

Connect Wireless Tracker to computer, `cd` into the unzipped temporary firmware package and install firmware via this command: `device-install.bat -f firmware.factory.bin`
