Ah, yes, without an input.lua it won't know what to do with the buttons. It's expected that the buttons don't work without it.
But that shouldn't cause crashing; that's very much not expected behavior. This does perhaps explain why jacqueline seemed to get much more frequent crashes than I did; I either had an SD card with input.lua inserted, or had the SD card out entirely. I will look into that when I get back around to this.
This is the result of some good design choices on CTZ's part; it's *very* hard to brick the Tangara by messing with the main ESP firmware. (SAMD firmware is probably harder to recover, but that's okay, because nobody ever needs to mess with the SAMD firmware anyway.)

Quote:The one good thing I learned is that I can use the Tangara Companion GUI to "flash" the upstream Tangara firmware if any custom firmware isn't working out as expected.
