- Persistence doesn't matter then

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused
error with boards. Likely related to BoardRunner dying- https://github.com/sourcebots/robotd/issues/45
- Barton and Collyers have had a problem with their servo boards, (Barton has been getting BrokenPipe but it's likely the same issue.)
- Two solutions:
- Fix the symptoms
- If there's an exception in BoardRunner which gets fixed by restarting BoardRunner, we should silently handle it. We should do it anyways.
- Fix the cause
- We think it might a connection issue? - We can try to reproduce - Action Point (Andy): Get a servo to move, read a GPIO - Action Point (Jake) Ask Collyers to reproduce it too.
- Fix the symptoms
