[chbot] HEX and ANSII ATMEGA and Delphi

[Andrew Starr]

Hi Wallace,

There is support for base64 in the Arduino libraries (if you're using 
them). But with base64 you're encoding 3 bytes with 4, so if you're only 
sending a single byte per transaction it probably isn't much use to you. 
A LUT would certainly be faster, although you're trading code space for 
speed - depends on what your priorities are.

Cheers
