Accessing custom EV3 name in code.

[ChrisShepherd]

I'm building a project with several EV3s. I've given each of them a unique custom name.

I want to download the same code to all of them, but I want each to pick and choose which code to use based on their name
If EV3 name is "One" then do this code
If EV3 name is "Two" then do this code
If EV3 name is "Three" then do this code

Is there a way to access this info on the brick?

Hi Chris,

Try using this function this to get the hostname:

def hostname():
    with open('/etc/hostname') as f:
        return f.read().strip()

This assumes you used sudo ev3dev-config to give each EV3 a unique hostname.

Worked perfectly! Thank you very much!
