Waiting on Serial.Begin

Hello. Does anyone know if it is possible to not "hang" waiting on serial.begin.

I would like to occasionally check if there is a serial connection present if not, continue on through the the loop. Right now, I have the Serial.Begin inside of the Setup routine and the code just waits until there is a serial connection made.

Thank you.

Impossible. There are no loops in Serial.begin.

If you'd like help, post your Sketch.

All "Serial.begin" does is set up the baud rate generator - it has no concept of a "connection".
