Is it possible to transmit an Int16 array using the Binary event type in Publish or is it still necessary to convert to formatted characters ?
Binary publish in Device OS 6.3.0 and later can be used for an array of int16_t. Be careful because the values will be in little endian byte order. The data being sent to the cloud is binary, so it is very efficient.
If the data is being passed to a webhook, then the server will see a base 64 encoded string containing the array of bytes in little endian byte order and will need to convert it appropriately, however.
@rickkas7. Thanks. This will be a very useful capability. Thanks for the warning re the byte order.
