[Loadstone] Data Testing

[Shawn Kirkpatrick]

I think the problem you describe will be fixed in the next version. There's 
been some work done on the bluetooth logic and it should now connect and 
disconnect a little cleaner. If things do lock up you shouldn't have to wait 
very long to reset, a few seconds should be enough.
