I added the ability to read strings by modifying 'parseReadMessageResponse(data)' method. I add this to the case/ switch: case 672: this.controller_value = data.toString('ascii', 8); break;

L83...High power! We're actually actively working on integrating string read/write in a more general way along with UDTs right now. Come join us on gitter for more discussion!

@tjusticeus How exactly were you able to read strings? I really need the ability to just read strings but haven't been able to figure it out yet.

It has been awhile since i looked at this. I will have to refresh my memory. Get back to you soon.

go to ethernet-ip/src/tag/index.js

go to method 'parseReadMessageResponse(data)' //Line 304

under the 'break' of case BOOL, I added another case

case 672: this.controller_value = data.toString('ascii', 8); break;
