Help with Meshtastic on a LILYGO LoRa32

Bought a pair of these on Amazon (Store page) with the intention to install Meshtastic on them. One of the reviews suggested that the correct firmware to install was the Lilygo T-Lora V2.1_1.6, so I used the web flasher to install it.

I've gotten as far as the screen above, but there's no select button. There are two controls, a momentary switch labelled RST on the store page, and an on/off switch. The on/off switch doesn't seem to do anything at the moment, and the RST switch just reboots the device.

It does not seem to be advertising a wifi network or bluetooth connection.

Is it looking for something connected to a particular GPIO pin?

UPDATE:

It showed up on the phone app despite not showing up on my PC or phone's normal bluetooth menu. Pairing requires you to enter a code shown on the OLED display (not the most accessible method) but once that's done it seems to work.

Download the app on your phone and configure it through the app using Bluetooth.

Did you try a press and hold / longer press on the button that doesn't do anything?

I’ve tried holding the RST button but it does the same as a quick press. The on/off switch can’t be held.

You reached the end
