Encoding 4-byte signed value

[ukmoose]

did the answer you were given last time you asked this question not work?

How can I convert a buffer [4] into a number value?

Here is a nice reference for reading/writing buffers on the W3Schools site. For instance, if you just want to replace the 4-byte payload buffer with its 32-bit signed big-endian integer value, try this: msg.payload = msg.payload.readInt32BE(); return msg;
