Because the strings remain equal, because you're not resetting or clearing the received string?

im not sure what you mean. how do i clear a string. its weird because test 2 works just fine but test 1 just keeps printing? the top half of this code works untill test 1 which just keeps repeating. i though newdata = false; was suppose to take care of that?

void showNewData() {
    if (newData == true) {
        Serial.print("This just in ... ");
        Serial.println(receivedChars);
       if (strcmp(receivedChars, "test 2") == 0) {
       Serial.println("working 2");
  }
        newData = false;
    } 
           if (strcmp(receivedChars, "test 1") == 0) {
       Serial.println("working 1");
  }
        newData = false;
    }
