Known issues and cautions
From the maker's documentation and the official Meshtastic docs.
- Meshtastic docs: LR1110 radios currently cannot receive Meshtastic packets from older SX127x radios (can via an SX126x relay).
- Meshtastic docs: no reset button; enter DFU by holding button 3 s while powering on or 'meshtastic --enter-dfu'; Seeed-shipped bootloader may need updating.
- Charging via magnetic USB cable (pogo pins).
