Did a little more testing and this is what I discovered.
It is actually three in a row of any character that will shift it, even using readBytes().
any characters of three or more will produce a funny character on the third, and then every other character after.
wwwwwww -> ww÷w÷w÷w÷
or something similar. It is like they are getting shifted, it is confusing though that it only happens to a series of the same characters.
It’s only an issue because some of the data that we need to read is small. eg 0.00005
Not sure what to make of it. Other than this, it works great.
