When uploading bootloader and python scripts, Badger freezes and becomes unresponsive. #7

As the title says, when following the directions of putting the Badger in bootloader mode, uploading the new bootloader, then uploading the python scripts, the Badger will become frozen with the original Badger_os menu, but no buttons work or anything. Ideas what I should try?

Do you remember off hand which bootloader you used? I am checking my notes, and it seems that I've been using pimoroni-badger2040-v1.19.6-micropython.uf2. I have some vague memories that this was not the latest release due some bugs in 1.19.7+. Since I published the project, https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases released quite a few changes, and I suspect one of them might be not backward compatible and causing the issue you see.

If you are feeling adventurous, you might want to try the latest version from https://github.com/pimoroni/badger2040. This could be a bit of adventure though :-)

So, there are three paths to explore, ordered by their complexity:

Let me know how it goes, I would like to update README to make sure that it reflects the current state.
