workflow to estabish camera connection (current workaround)

The main problem is that in most cases the camera is stil busy and locked. So as a workaround, you have to do the following steps:

• running npm test
• kill the process of the mocha process with ps aux | grep node
• then run the server and estabish the connection

The fix for the issue will follow in another version soon.

Coming soon
