After a few seconds my BB8 connection is failling On Mac OSX

[ShahNewazKhan]

I am facing the same issue where OSX is unable to get a response back from BB8 once a command is issued:

Unhandled rejection Error: Command sync response was lost.
    at Sphero.handler (/Users/shah/projects/node/ai8/node_modules/sphero/lib/sphero.js:252:21)

I have the same issue, as far as I can tell BB8 is not sending back acks/responses that the framework is expecting. I increased the timeout when initializing the bb8 object but it just waits longer before showing an error.

Here is a very simple ping exhibiting the issue:

var sphero = require("sphero"),                                                           
    bb8 = sphero("368062352763460e9591981b2974cac5", {timeout: 2000});                    
                                                                                          
bb8.connect(function() {                                                                  
  bb8.ping(function(err, data) {                                                          
    console.log(err || "data: " + data);                                                  
  });                                                                                     
});

Same with SPRK+

same with sprk+, ditto
As mentioned here: #37 I don't get this error if I entirely leave sensor streaming turned off.
