Document why fabmo can't reconnect to g2 after boot
Right now, if the g2 board and the fabmo controller aren't started up together, fabmo isn't able to connect to a running g2 board. In practice, I'm finding this mildly frustrating. Is there a fundamental technical reason the two need to be started together or is there just a bit of reconnect code that hasn't been written yet?
Is there some documentation I should be reading?
I haven't investigated much yet. When it's installed inside a tool sharing the power switch, it's not much of an issue. But I agree, as a developer it's a pain.
I do not believe there is any technical reason we can't do it. A starting place for you to look might be the firmware upgrade. We reboot the g2 card during an upgrade. (using bossa -R? or maybe a json command. I haven't looked, yet, even though I have wanted to on several occassions - just other priorities still) And it successfully reconnects every time. Try it. You can find old or new g2 code in the fabmo-engine history in git. You'll want to work with the most current but installing an older version using the config page firmware upgrade facility is a worthwhile thing to try. You'll see what happens and can trace it if you like.
