Hi,

I am using the bluetoothDesktop library with the simple bluetooth example. This is fairly close to what I am trying to do..search for and print out the device names picked up onto the screen. The problem I am having is that I want it to do this every 1 or 2 minutes..that it will search and update every 2 minutes. I am quite new to processing and have being trying loops and timers with no success. I would really appreciate if somebody could point me in the right direction on how I should go about this. Thank you.

Eventually got it to keep updating devices being picked up! this is the simpleBluetooth example stripped down a little.. all that is really changed is the   bt.find(); is moved into draw! so if you are out of range or turn off your bluetooth your name disappears from the screen..and if you change your name it will update that too!!!!

import bluetoothDesktop.*;

PFont font;
Bluetooth bt;
//new array for bluetooth devices
Device[] devices = new Device[0];

void setup() {
 //initialize bluetooth
 try {
   bt = new Bluetooth(this, Bluetooth.UUID_RFCOMM); // RFCOMM

     // Start a Service
   bt.start("simpleService");

 }
 catch (RuntimeException e) {
 }
 size(600,300);
 frameRate(100);
 fill( random(200,255), random(200,255), random(200,255), random(200,255));

}

void draw() {
 background(0);
 font = createFont("Courier", 30);
 textFont(font);
 translate(20, 60);

 bt.find();

 if (devices!=null) {
  for (int i=0; i<devices.length; i++) {
   fill (30+i*20,12+i*20,3+i*20);
     text(devices[i].name, 0, 30+i*30);
      println(i);
     
   }
 }
 
}
void deviceDiscoveryCompleteEvent(Device[] d) {

 devices =  d;
}
