B4J Question Convert signed byte to int

[Philip Prins]

Hello ,

I get a HEX value that is a temperature reading 16 Hex is 22 degrees.
But when the temperature = -15 the HEX value is F0

How can i convert this HEX value to -15?

Tnx in advance
Philip

Assign the value to a byte first, although F0 should be -16.

  Dim H As String = "F0"
    Dim b As Byte = Bit.ParseInt(H,16)
    Log(b)

What do you mean with hex value? Is it sent as a string?
Why not send it as a byte?

Hello Erel,

It comes from the SIGFOX network, it is sent by their backend as a 12 byte packet in HEX.
