This extension tries to automatically reconnect the steno machine if the connection got lost.
Project description
An extension to [Plover](https://github.com/openstenoproject/plover) to automatically reconnect a steno machine if it got disconnected.
How to Use
This plugin enhances plover by automatically reconnecting the steno machine to plover. Without the machine it is necessary to hit the reconnect button in plover in some cases. As soon as the steno machine is connected, the plugin will trigger a reconnect in plover.
Using the plugin, it doesn’t matter any more, if you start plover before connecting the steno machine or the other way round.
The plugin does also allow to unplug and replug the steno machine or to switch devices (unplug machine A, plug in machine B) – as long as they will use the same com port and protocol.
What this plugin does not
This plugin intentionally does not do any kind of auto discover. You need to have your machine correctly configured for this plugin to work.
