Connection to remote device

[hyderabat]

Hi everyone

I am trying to remotely control one NXT from another one. For this reason, I would like to periodically check if the connection still exists. That is why I am using the code down there:

Code: Select all

try {
         
         String blueadd = remo.getBluetoothAddress();
         LCD.drawString(blueadd,0,2);
         if (blueadd == remo.getBluetoothAddress()) LCD.drawString("CORRECT!", 0, 4);
         else LCD.drawString("WRONG!", 0, 4);
         Delay.msDelay(3000);
      } catch (Exception e) {LCD.drawString("ReadingException",0,7);Delay.msDelay(3000);System.exit(1);}

The hallarious thing is, that even though I just said blueadd = the bluetooth address, it keeps saying that its WRONG (I have to check that because I use it in another part of the program).

So what can I do? Does the string cut off some parts of the address, or what doesn't work? PS: It is the same with getName().

I solved it now with the Name:

Code: Select all

      try {
         
         String blueadd = remo.getBrickName();
         blueadd = blueadd.substring(0,4);
         LCD.drawString(blueadd,0,2);
         String name = remo.getBrickName().substring(0,4);
         LCD.drawString(name,0,3);
         if (blueadd.equals(name)) LCD.drawString("CORRECT!", 0, 4);
         
         else LCD.drawString("WRONG!", 0, 4);
         Delay.msDelay(3000);
      } catch (Exception e) {LCD.drawString("ReadingException",0,7);Delay.msDelay(3000);System.exit(1);}

But with the bluetooth address, I don't have a clue what I am doing wrong there...

Hi,
your two examples are not using the same comparison operator, you may want to read the following article == is not doing what you think it is...
