My code will create a string with exactly 5 bytes.

Use the middle code (note that I had to reverse the array first because you apparently reversed it earlier).

Have you tried? Does it work?

I hope to try the solutions with the hardware this morning.

I've attached your middle solution as a standalone. Did I get that right? Why a string subset with offset of 3?

Because converting to U64 will get you 8 bytes. You only need five of them.

You don't need any hardware to test. Does it otherwise look right currently?

I understand now, thanks. Both solutions produce the same result and seem valid.
