  1. Link to the schematic of Heltec Wireless Tracker v2.
  2. The Heltec Wireless Tracker v2 previously used the GC1109, but has now been replaced with the KCT8103L.
  3. Since the GC1109 version was not officially released, code related to it will not be provided.
  4. Because the number of times the power is released and the number of times the power is turned on in the GPS code do not match, the screen power will be cut off. Therefore, an additional _claims was added to the GPS to ensure that the number of times the power is turned on and off matches.

Howdy!

I have one of the Heltec Tracker v2.2 boards, which I believe was sent early for testing.

I'm assuming v2.2 is the one with GC1109, which will no longer work and v2.3 is the one these changes are for, and that one will be publicly released?

I'll merge these changes since you mentioned v2 hasn't been released yet :)

Your understanding is correct; v2.3 is about to be released.
