Add option/port to select how many bytes to concatenate and how to interpret endianness to "Get Data Bytes". This will enable a wider use for the node. Would give wanted data from the output list without conversion while still enabling direct 1 byte output.

Magneson,

We are thinking it might be more productive to create two new node classes: Convert Data to Integers and Convert Data to Reals, which input Binary Data and output a list of Integers/Reals. Additional inputs for the nodes would control the number of bits per integer/real (option of 8, 16, or 32) and any other factors related to encoding, such as endianness.

Would that meet your needs?

When we (Team Vuo) plan each release, we try to implement as many of the community's top-voted feature requests as we have time for.

If anyone would like to help this happen sooner, we're also accepting open source contributions and commissioned work.
