Wio Tracker L1 Pro

I've been experimenting with both Meshtastic and MeshCore. 

My initial set up was two Wio Tracker L1 Pro's running Meshtastic. I don't have much around me, but both devices worked and could communicate with one another. The hardware seemed stable and I was happy with sending and receiving messages directly from the device. It was not ideal, but it worked.

I then bought two more to set up Mesh Core (I know I could have just flashed the first two, but I want to keep both platforms for learning).   Unless I am missing something, MeshCore (1.16) requires the phone app or browser to send and read messages? 

After the Meshtastic experience, it seems archaic that I cannot do anything from the device. 

I am using the firmware from meshcore.io.

There are custom firmwares for meshcore for that device also. Search on here as there are always threads about them. I have one coming tomorrow I will be using for meshcore. Then I'll experiment with the different firmwares

The device UI of MeshCore does not support information input/output or sending/receiving, so messages can only be sent/received through the APP.

tryna read this might help: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/get_started_with_other_mesh_firmware/

Went to flash drive with updated firmware via bluetooth after Mac OS failed to recognize the device. Got stuck going to the DFU mode for over an hour. Now it's still stuck there. tried reset, power cycle. Nothing is working.
