I have found the SAP6 frequently crashes after a it has received a few errors with a memory allocation error. This is very irritating because invariably SexyTopo loses contact with the SAP6.
I let chatGPT loose on the problem and it said the issue is related to allocation of the display error messages, which then can end up fragmenting the memory. It suggested the attached fixes to essentially allocate the memory ahead of time.
It appears that now the display still includes the bluetooth and battery symbol even when displaying the big text, so I modified the error messages slightly so they don't look awful.
I can confirm this does seem to fix the crashing issue. But I am unsure if it creates any others.
