33 * reconnect to problematic FADs
34 *
35 * Dis- and Reconnects to FADs, found to be problematic by call-back function
36 * onchange() to have a different CONNECTION value than 66 or 67.
37 *
38 * @returns
39 * a boolean is returned.
40 * reconnect returns true if:
41 * * nothing needed to be reset --> no problems found by onchange()
42 * * the reconnection went fine.
43 *
44 * reconnect *never returns false* so far.
45 *
46 * @example
47 * if (!sub_connections.reconnect())
48 * exit();

113 // there might be a problem with one/more FADs
114 //
115 // wait until "TakingData":
116 // --> this seems to take even some minutes sometimes...
117 // (might be optimized rather soon, but still in the moment...)
118 // if this takes way too long:
119 // there might be something broken,
120 // so maybe a very high time limit is ok here.
121 // I think there is not much that can go wrong,
122 // when the Thr-Calib has already started. Still it might be nice

124 // in case the threshold finding algorithm does
