Reading variable length Int

[dderevjanik]

Hello, is it possible to read int with non-standard bytes length? e.g. 4

You can't (afaik) unless doing the trick in the post you link

var decimal = (buffer[0] << 16) + (buffer[1] << 8) + buffer[2];

You could get the buffer from the IOBuffer.buffer and then update the offset. That is of BE and invert it for LE.

I had a similar problem parsing uavcan packets

If the data are not too big and time is not super critical you can convert your data to a BigInteger and then use
