When reading from a serial port, there is no EOF between data sets. I may
have to use something else besides a scanner to do this. I have a handler
function called by a goroutine that just monitors incoming data in a for
loop and sends that data coming in back through a channel. If the
connection closes, I need a way to signal this loop to close so that the
function can return and end.
