Managing Connection Failures

Hi team.... A question for the masses.... is there any way for me to find out if a bluetooth connection to a particular EZ-B board has been dropped? I would like to script a reconnection attempt when a connection is dropped just in case the board has had a momentary brownout.... due to a power fluctuation. Or, here's a thought, installing a return...

Instead "N/A" is displayed. If i run a script getadc(adc0) I can see the value displayed in the script window. It seems the adc...
