global reset #28

command to RESET crow

clear/reset global state _G to startup condition (pre flash execution = blank slate)
stop metros
reset ADC and DAC activity, midi state, etc

trentgill commented 5 years ago

should this be another version of ^^reset. that currently just reboots the microcontroller (so obviously resets _G), but stops crow from executing flash?

perhaps there could be a lua function to set a 'don't run flash' bit?

that would work if the lua environment is working fine, but is this functionality meant for a non-responsive system-state? unsure what the intended use-case is.

i can't rationalize my original reasoning for needing this... i was thinking too norns-like.

existing ^^reset is great. if a script needs to be bypassed it should just be cleared via ^^clear first. my general feeling is that the crow's flash should not be precious. it's always going to be on disk in some editor somewhere.
