BroadcastScale connects only once per start of the app #1069

I know you are working on the BroadcaseScale driver. We built a scale using that protocol.

May I ask for a feature that shows the weight continuously while the scale is reporting it? What I mean is that I can see the weight changing while stepping on the scale. When the scale is then stable it would be nice to have a button selecting the current measurement.

Right now, the app starts and takes the first packet it finds over air and uses it. There is no way to repeat the measurement after that. The only way is to close the app and restart it only when you are on the scale and be very quite. It would make it more user friendly using this type of BroadcastScale.

Thanks!

I do not own a broadcast scale and don't know any details about its communication, anyway here some comments/ideas I have regarding this:
