🔦 Flashing the Wireless PCB

NOTE: The wireless PCB’s cannot be flashed via QMK Toolbox or any other method to flash a QMK firmware. Wireless PCBs uses Wuque Studio's own software named “WuqueDFUUpgradeProgrammer” to flash a new firmware.

Do not attempt to flash the firmware with QMK Toolbox as you may permanently damage the PCB.
