Ok, it isn't totally the software, it is actually a board freaking out and causing the app to crash.

I figured out a way to solve this HOWEVER, I still need to pull the board and figure out why. This sucks in many, many ways. The solution causes a flicker. The board is the board right in the middle. I do have a spare board but it has an Red LED that won't fire on one of the pins for the life of it.

Once again, not the end of the world, but I have to fix that board.
