Not sure what's going on here, but I'm getting an error while trying to add a string to an OSC message.
My "print" functions are returning the information just fine, but the shoutOut.add(String) method is throwing the error:

"addrpattern: /ping### [2012/8/9 12:49:13] ERROR @ OscP5 ERROR. an error occured while forwarding an OscMessage"

Here's the code thats causing the problem:

1. void ping(){
     for (int i = 0; i <= 255; i ++){
       String pingAddr = baseAddr + i;
      
     if(pingAddr.equals(ip) || pingAddr.equals(touchOSC)){}//println("not pinging self or phone controller");}
       else{
         NetAddress pingLocation = new NetAddress(pingAddr, 8000);
         OscMessage shoutOut = new OscMessage("/ping");
         shoutOut.add(ip);
         print(" ping sends: " + shoutOut.addrPattern() + " with stringvalue:  " + shoutOut.get(0).stringValue());
         println(" to pingAddr: " + pingAddr);
         oscP5.send(shoutOut, pingLocation); //this specifically right here isn't working
       }
     }
     pingSent = true;
     println("ping sent");
   }
   

I imagine I'm just overlooking something rather simple.  Thanks for the help!
