Set device address

const simplecomm = require('simplecomm');

Parse the buffer buffer as a packet

simplecomm.fromBuffer(buffer).forEach((packet) => {

	console.log('\tsource:', packet.source);
	console.log('\ttype:', packet.type);
	console.log('\tdata:', packet.data.toString('hex'));
});

Parse the packet data

const fields = [
	{ 'name': 'byte' }, // default type: 'UInt8'
	{ 'name': 'num', 'type': 'UInt16' },
	{ 'name': 'anotherNum', 'type': 'Int32' },
	{ 'name': 'text', 'type': 'String', 'len': 2 }, // String with fixed length
	{ 'name': 'finalText', 'type': 'String' } // String to the end of the buffer
];
const data = packet.parse(fields);
console.log(data);
