NOTE: The official Meshtastic firmware does not set the main button by default, if you flash a Meshtastic provided firmware you may have to enable it manually after flashing.

  • Luckily it's easy to do, open the Meshtastic app on your phone and after you have paired the R1, go to the Settings page and navigate to DEVICE CONFIGURATION > Device > GPIO > Button GPIO and select Pin 31 (do not select any other option as it can cause erratic behavior or damage your device).
