return char array

Length of message

read and convert the message into HEX string format

Length of message * 2

IMPORTANT: By default, all data are represented in Little Endian format, typical for embedded devices. If you want to represent data in Big Endian format, add “be” before the data type.

Example

  • In big endian format                        C3896.beint
