So you had the wind sensors going into a windows laptop that then relayed the wind data via wifi to the tinypilot computer? Or?
I am trying to understand the exact setup. If you had the sensors plugged in by usb to the tinypilot it is possible to cause a hardware reset.
You said the screen went blank on the tinypilot computer. Did it stay blank forever? It is very peculiar. Even if the autopilot itself crashed, it should respawn, and even if it could not, the process that writes to the screen should say "connecting to server..." or something rather than completely blank. A blank screen might indicate rebooting or a power cycle, but then it should boot up again. Could you confirm the exact behavior?
As for 2 sd cards, yes it is possible to have one with each image. The beta has all of the changes and improvements since the stable image but it is still in testing.
