v5.1 – CircuitMess update 1.0.5

I had a lot of fun playing with this robot, but this one (v5+) is hands down the best mod yet. I have the robot on my table turned on non-stop, and to have something that is actually reminiscent of a living Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf in such an elegant (and eloquent manner) is an absolute blast! Do try it!

• Includes the official CircuitMess robot update 1.0.5: a steadier Bluetooth connection to the controller, a workaround for the motors disturbing the proximity sensors, sharper and faster turns when you drive it with the controller, and a face detection fix.
• The proximity sensors work exactly as in the official update (moving only stops for obstacles in front, the OVERKLOKING drive too). Settings → SENSOR still turns them off.
• Flash together with the controller mod v5.1.

Download

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

• ButterBot-OVERKLOKING-v5.1-robot-full.bin – one file, flash at 0x0. Simplest, but erases saved settings, owner face and IR codes.
• ButterBot-OVERKLOKING-v5.1-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 or v5: only the app changed, so flashing it alone at 0x10000 is enough.
