Suggested Firmware from sosprz

Check out the features this (closed source) firmware adds on their Github page.

To test it out:

  • Connect tracker to computer via USB, double click upper (reset) button on the left which should bring up 2 new drives in Windows (file) Explorer: XIAO-Sense & TRACKER L1.
  • Go to the latest releases page and download WioTrackerL1_companion_radio_ble-v1.14.0.69-31dd17d9.uf2 directly to Tracker L1, or to your desktop and then to the drive.
  • Just copying a UF2 file will tell the arduino guts to use that as the new firmware, installing & restarting the device automatically.
