Hi,

i know that the name of a puck is the last 4 byte of the mac address and the prefix "Puckjs. " but is there a function to easily get this name on a puck e.g. to check if the name is equal to a delivered name?

Main idea is to broadcast some messages with destination address and every puck can check if he is meant.

Thanks and KR.

On a puck itself, this. You will need latest firmware - http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/298877/#comment13422997

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
