Hi all so, first release of node-red-contrib-buffer-parser The name doesnt do it justice :slight_smile: so I will post snippets from the readme below - to try and explain it. Hope its of use to people. About A dynamic Node-RED node to convert values in a buffer or integer array into the many diff…

In fairness, Its the best of a bad bunch. The name I preferred was node-red-contrib-array-or-buffer-to-any-of-bcd-int-int16-int32-bigint64-float-with-multibyteswapping-and-big-or-little-endian-capabilities as it was more descriptive

Hi all, V2.0.0 now in flows library This adds a full UI to simplify setting up the node [image] Hopefully this makes it a bit more friendly.

[image] Steve-Mcl: [image] cymplecy: Should the node give a choice of output property on the message? - not seen that before 100% I hate having to use a change node after a node to move the payload to another property. Definitely won't be removed. There are plenty of nodes do this for t…

[image] dceejay: Well - none of the core nodes do this Imho, I wish they all would (where sensible). Since the introduction of the typedInput, things have improved (with regards to reducing the need for change nodes before and after) but not all nodes employ them unfortunately. [image] dc…

@dceejay @cymplecy What do you guys think of these tweaks to the UI?... [image] I tried to stick with what was most common in the core nodes... [image] (PS: I knew I'd seen <-- Return somewhere before)
