is_connected method is not working

[sri331]

Hi

is_connected() returns a wrong state if no other methods are called on the rtde connection. In below example, it is retuning true. but it is actually disconnected. It is not cross checking with the controller and returning the object state.

I would like to handle issue 6 with a getConnection method which returns existing connection and if it is not available, it will create a new connection.

rtde.connect() time.sleep(11) Print(str(rtde.is_connected()))

It looks like there is no easy way to tell if socket is connected: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48024720/python-how-to-check-if-socket-is-still-connected Just catch exception on send or receive
