readString() problem

Hey guys,

Ok I'm having a problem with the readString(). For some reason the length of my received string is going nuts on me. I send a string from my Android and those strings are either 2 long, s0, 4 long, cl25, or 5 long, cl100. So I've setup a Serial.println right after I receive from my Android and I get things like 14 long, 29 long it varies what am I missing?

I'm posting my code just to show you what I have now:

#include <Adafruit_MotorShield.h>
#include "utility/Adafruit_PWMServoDriver.h"
#include <Bridge.h>
#include <Console.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Servo.h>
#include <YunServer.h>
#include <YunClient.h>

Adafruit_MotorShield AFMS = Adafruit_MotorShield();
// Select which 'port' M1, M2, M3 or M4. In this case, M1
Adafruit_DCMotor *frontWheels = AFMS.getMotor(2);
// You can also make another motor on port M2
Adafruit_DCMotor *rearWheels = AFMS.getMotor(1);
// Declaring the servo that controls the webcam
Servo servo1;

// The pin that the LED is attached to
const int ledPin = 13;

// We open the socket 5678 to communicate.
YunServer server(5555);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Attach the LED to pin 13 as output
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);

  // Bridge startup
  Bridge.begin();

  // Create with the default frequency 1.6KHz
  AFMS.begin();

  // Front Wheels initialization
  frontWheels->setSpeed(150);
  frontWheels->run(FORWARD);
  frontWheels->run(RELEASE);

  // Rear Wheels initialization
  rearWheels->setSpeed(150);
  rearWheels->run(FORWARD);
  rearWheels->run(RELEASE);

  server.noListenOnLocalhost();
  server.begin();
}

void loop() {
  YunClient client = server.accept();

  // There is a new client
  if (client) {
    client.setTimeout(5);

    // Declaration of the different variables
    int _speed = 0;
    int lastSpeed = 0;
    String lastDirection = "";
    bool cameraOn = 0;
    String command = "none";

    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);

    while (!command.equals("stop")) {
      if (client.available() > 0) {
        command = client.readString();
        command.trim();

        String _direction = command.substring(0,1);
        String _subDirection = command.substring(1,1);

        Serial.println("Command: " + command);
        Serial.println("Length: " + (String)command.length());
        Serial.println("Direction: " + _direction);
        Serial.println("Direction: " + _subDirection);

        if (_direction.equals("c")) {
          cameraOn = 1;
        }

        if (cameraOn) {
          if (_subDirection.equals("l")) {
            _speed = map(command.substring(2, 5).toInt(), 0, 180, 1000, 1500);
          } else if (_subDirection.equals("r")) {
            _speed = map(command.substring(2, 5).toInt(), 0, 180, 1500, 2000);
          }
        } else if (_direction.equals("f") || _direction.equals("b")) {
          _speed = map(command.substring(2, 5).toInt(), 0, 180, 0, 255);
        }
        else if (_direction.equals("r") || _direction.equals("l")) {
          _speed = map(command.substring(2, 5).toInt(), 0, 180, 130, 255);
        }

        Serial.println("LastSpeed: " + (String)lastSpeed);
        Serial.println("Speed: " + (String)_speed);

        if (_speed > 0 && (lastSpeed != _speed || !lastDirection.equals(_direction))) {
          lastSpeed = _speed;
          lastDirection = _direction;

          if (_direction.equals("f")) {
            Console.println("In f");
            Console.println(_speed);
            //rearWheels->run(RELEASE);
            rearWheels->setSpeed(_speed);
            rearWheels->run(FORWARD);
          }
          else if (_direction.equals("b")) {
            rearWheels->run(RELEASE);
            rearWheels->setSpeed(_speed);
            rearWheels->run(BACKWARD);
          }
          else if (_direction.equals("l")) {
            if (cameraOn) {
              if (!servo1.attached()) {
                servo1.attach(10);
              }
              servo1.writeMicroseconds(_speed);
              delay(50);
            } else {
              //frontWheels->run(RELEASE);
              frontWheels->setSpeed(_speed);
              frontWheels->run(BACKWARD);
            }
          }
          else if (_direction.equals("r")) {
            if (cameraOn) {
              if (!servo1.attached()) {
                servo1.attach(10);
              }
              servo1.writeMicroseconds(_speed);
              delay(50);

              frontWheels->run(RELEASE);
              frontWheels->setSpeed(_speed);
              frontWheels->run(FORWARD);
            }
          }
          else if (_direction.equals("c")) {
            Console.println("In Servo");
          }
          else if (_direction.equals("d")) {
            servo1.writeMicroseconds(1500);
            servo1.detach();
          }
          delay(500);
        }
        else if (_direction.equals("s")) {
          if (!servo1.attached()) {
            servo1.attach(10);
            servo1.writeMicroseconds(1500);
          }
          frontWheels->run(RELEASE);
          rearWheels->run(RELEASE);
          servo1.detach();
        }
        
        //Serial.println("Command: " + command);
      }
    }
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);

    if (servo1.attached()) {
      servo1.writeMicroseconds(1500);
      servo1.detach();
    }
    client.stop();
  }
}

Can you put a Serial.println(command) after the trim() and comment the output?
