Best way to detect if a firmata connection is established?

Open sdistefano opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I'm having problems detecting if my firmata connection is established or not. In either case, robot.Running() returns true and I can run log commands from a gobot.Every.

What's the recommended way to constantly check that the connection is established and attempt to restart it otherwise?

The Robot's Start() currently ensures that all the Adaptors are correctly started. However it does NOT do anything about restarts/failover etc.

There is a conversation started in #558 about this very topic. I think this issue can be closed in favor of tracking that one.

Thank you! Is there no known workaround at the moment? I have tried making a digital read as a form of PING, but even this is returning normal values even when I unplug the card after connection
