Passing hex data rather than ASCII

[denisdowney]

I'm interfacing with a device that sends a stream of hex data (starts with 0x02, ends with 0x03). As far as I can tell, ORSSerialPort is configured for ASCII by default. Is there a way to configure for binary/hex ?

Hi Denis,

ORSSerialPort is not configured for ASCII by default. It deals with raw binary data, as represented by instances of NSData (Data in Swift). There are some convenience APIs in a couple places to make sending and receiving strings easier, but they're optional to use and all have (NS)Data-based counterparts. What exactly are you running into trouble with?

Thanks Andrew, I was focused on the NSString references, rather than NSData. Should have dug into the code. Thanks for your explanation. Denis
