  1. Hello Steve,
    I am new to Node Red & trying to get the data from a gas flow meter. The data type is Float. I have tried few methods by searching the Web, Youtube. Here is the json file of the Flow.
    The problem is I am not getting the correct value of as in the register of the Modbus contrib read.
    The 8 bit buffer from the read data matches the value of the flowmeter register. But when I convert the value is not matching. Please help.
    The correct value is 1242298282-32Bit UInt, 2293227 – Float.
    Please Weld gas Total

    1. Hi
      Can you just send me the part with the register values. The Json file seems to have Javascript code jumbled with it.
      Just copy the buffer values from the debug node.
