I still don't see how this solves my problem.
In "main" (controller) I have:

public static Thread txToLanThreadRef;

TxToLanThread txToLanThread = new TxToLanThread();
txToLanThread.start();
txToLanThreadRef = txToLanThread.runningNow;

However, when I try to access it elsewhere, this does not work

controller.txToLanThreadRef.

I need to access the handler in the thread so I can send it a message
