After the firmware uploads, the connection state is shown as disconnected about openrov-software HOT 6 CLOSED

And is everything else returning to work as expected? I mean, battery and running time? The connection becomes red only when there is not ping from the arduino for more than some seconds. Is the BB really loosing connection from the arduino or is it just reported wrong?

from openrov-software.

Hum, don't remember right now if the battery and time comes back. I'll
check tomorrow.
What is done is, the serial connection is closed and once th update is
done, the serial connection is opened. Maybe we might need to initialte
reading from it too.

With the normal arduino, if you restart the device and you had a software on the computer reading/writing to the serial, the connection between the two is lost and must be reinitiated. Maybe the same happens here.

What I do is, I close the serial port and once the firmware update is done,
I open it again. So basically, I restart the connection.
But I don't know about how the heartbeat/battery value is read.
Sending commands (servo, light) works, that's for sure.

I'll look into this.
What the code does is just listening to the "data" event of the serial port library.

And what do you need to do to have it working again? Reload the page? or reboot the BB?

Did some tests:

• commands sent from browser to arduino are working, only messages on the other direction are not
• even a page refresh do not make the messages come back
