Hello Russel
NLua will use the current Encoding to convert the Lua string to C# string.
There was a minor issue on NLua where wasn't possible to pass a Lua string to a byte [] parameter on C#.
I've fixed the issue. Here is a example how to pass binary data from Lua side to C# side.
Thank you
That's fantastic. It works seamlessly in my test jig. This is going to be perfect for my serial console!
using System;
using System.Linq;
using NLua;
namespace NLuaConsoleTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting Lua");
Lua lua = new Lua();
lua["WriteBinary"] = (Action<byte[]>)WriteBinary;
lua.DoString(@"
print('testing')
local t = {0x5aa5, 0x0600}
str = string.pack('<h<h',t[1], t[2])
print(str)
WriteBinary(str)
");
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static void WriteBinary(byte[] buffer)
{
foreach(var b in buffer)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0:X}", b);
}
}
}
}

^^^^
The string you are generating, 0xA5,0x5A, is not a valid UTF-8 string.
Could that perhaps be the issue?

It very well could be. I'll look into this tomorrow. Thanks Sean!
