   I Believe it's best to use a timer or some kind of timeout function.

   There is no way to know if bluetooth has lost the connection other than
   using system apis on a host computer.
   If you do two-way-timeout it will be much better.

   For example on your host computer software setup a timer for 500ms. and on
   the arduino use milliseconds in a loop or so.
   Then you might know it has lost connection.

   I'm using this with a Bluetooth module and everything is working great.
   I'd like to be able to detect when the BT serial looses connection though
   so I can stop my robot from moving, is this possible?
