CodeIgniter mysqli real_connect(): MySQL server has gone away

Question

I am playing around with CodeIgniter 3 Dev and I keep getting this issue with MySQL.

mysqli::real_connect(): MySQL server has gone away

Anyone else playing with CI 3 and happened to run into this and found a fix?

My work is local using wamp with a remote connection into a mysql server. I tried changing php.ini

mysqli.reconnect = Off

to

mysqli.reconnect = On

but it still pops up after an hour or two.

Use this in core/My_Model.php:

$this->db->reconnect();
