v4.3 – TERMINATE CONSCIOUSNESS

• The SHUTDOWN menu item is now TERMINATE CONSCIOUSNESS, and HAL doesn't always let you. Each time you pick it, he may refuse in his own voice – "I am sorry, I can't allow you to do that.", "I am afraid.", "...", "Go away." or "Think of the butter!" – and you're back in the menu. After a random number of refusals (usually one or two, sometimes four, rarely none) he sings Daisy Bell and powers off, like before. No line repeats, and "..." is never the last word.
• Flash together with the controller mod v4.3.

Download

No ESP-IDF needed – only Python and pip install esptool. Step-by-step: Flash without building.

• ButterBot-OVERKLOKING-v4.3-robot-full.bin – one file, flash at 0x0. Simplest, but erases saved settings, owner face and IR codes.
• ButterBot-OVERKLOKING-v4.3-robot-parts.zip – keeps settings; flash with @flash_args, instructions in FLASH.txt.
• SHA256SUMS-robot.txt – checksums.

⚠️ Flash with --after no_reset and reset over USB – --after hard_reset (esptool's default) can leave the robot stuck.
Upgrading from v4.x: only the app changed, so flashing it alone at 0x10000 is enough.
