unfortunately I receive this when using node-red-contrib-gpsd which now pulls in 0.3.3:

Exception has occurred: TypeError: The "list[0]" argument must be an instance of Buffer or Uint8Array. Received type string ('{"class":"SKY","device":...)

Thanks for reporting. What version of node are you using?

I've created a patch in branch 'issue-22'. Are you in a position to test that fix?

node v16.15.1, MacOS

yes, will give it a spin and report! thanks!

buf is not visible in line 53:

move up the buf declaration to line 39 and this works for me:

    sock.on("data", function (payload) {
        const buf = Buffer.from(payload, "utf-8");
        if (payload[payload.length - 1] === '\n') {

Thanks for pointing that out.

I just published v0.3.4, including a fixed for the issue above, on npm

[Michael Haberler]

verified to work!
I'll notify the owner of https://github.com/damoclark/node-red-contrib-gpsd to bump the node-gpsd version number

thanks!
