 Hey 👋 seems like you are the expert on these Meshtastic devices. I got the driver install on the computer and was able to flash the software. My app picks up the radio but it won’t pair via Bluetooth. Feel like I’m so close lol 

The heltec screen is blank now with a flashing white light https://image.nostr.build/844591b4bdeb331b487b0effff1fd35dc572690fb3e3305c74763f4aa6006ae3.jpg  

 Is it possible you flashed the wrong firmware for your device? Try re-flashing with the webflasher.

 Go into Bluetooth settings and forget the 8a08 device and then try to re-pair them 

 I got it to work. No one to communicate with. 40 +nodes in my area though
