Feature Request: Simple Base64 Decoder

[hpssjellis]

When I send data to Adafruit it is base64 encoded (I don't want to use cayanneLPP). Could we have a simple function here that just shows how to decode base64, or am I missing something that I can do from the console?

Should be something along theses lines

function Decoder(bytes, port) {

  return decoded;
}

// Define the string
var decodedStringBtoA = 'Hello World!';

// Encode the String
var encodedStringBtoA = btoa(decodedStringBtoA);

console.log(encodedStringBtoA);

// Define the string
var encodedStringAtoB = 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh';

// Decode the String
var decodedStringAtoB = atob(encodedStringAtoB);

console.log(decodedStringAtoB);

I sent in a pull request for a base64 decoder

You can run "base64" and use -e to encode or -d to decode in most unix operating systems

Powershell has similar too:
decode
[System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String($EncodedText))

encode
$Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Text)
$EncodedText =[Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
