Ez-B Automatically Reconnect After Wifi Drop?

Is there a way to set the ez-b to automatically reconnect to wifi after the wifi drops out itself?

For example, im using my 4GLTE hotspot from my phone for internet on my laptop and i have the Ez-b connected in client mode. When a call comes in or i turn the wifi off and then back on, i regain connection to my laptop but i have to cycle the ez-b to get it to reconnect again.

Hopefully this is simple as i plan to use 4GLTE connection primarily with my rover

You could even clock down the arduino to 1 Mhz to reduce power draw even more. It would get you down to about 25ma usage. Turn off other pins and get you down to about 22ma.

PTP, you may have done this. I haven't looked at the code you posted.

I could, but im really hoping when i get my pickit3 and flash PTP's firmware the ez-b will auto reconnect

@clintard_leonard connect an EZ-B v4 to that robot arm and quit wasting time with arduino:)

Thats the plan. Im using an xbox 360 wireless controller with the ARC software to not only drive the robot but to run the arm. The RPI3 has no other use right now than an HD video feed.
