How to convert output hex to decimal in Node.js?

Question

I'm trying to get data from a bluetooth device(heart-rate monitor) where it will show the values of heart rate, pulse rate. when i run the program in terminal the output in comes in hex so any ideas how to display the output in decimal. Thanks..

const bluetooth = require('node-bluetooth');

// create bluetooth device instance

const device = new bluetooth.DeviceINQ();

var num = 0;

device
.on('finished',  console.log.bind(console, 'finished'))
.on('found', function found(address, name){
console.log('Found: ' + address + ' with name ' + name);

device.findSerialPortChannel(address, function(channel){
console.log('Found RFCOMM channel for serial port on %s: ', name,     'channel:',channel);

// // make bluetooth connect to remote device
bluetooth.connect(address, channel, function(err, connection){

console.log('North Vision Patient Monitor')

if(err) return console.error(err);

connection.write(new Buffer([0x55,0xAA,0x00], 'utf-8'), () => {

console.log('Send Data')


connection.write(new Buffer([
  0x0b,
  0x40,
  0x85,
  0xB6,
  0xFB,
  0x10,
  0x3C,
  0xC8,
  0xFF,
  0xB4,
  0x28,
  0x28,
  0x0A,
  0x64,
  0x5A,
  0xB4,
  0x3C,
  0x78,
  0x32,
  0xA0,
  0x32,
  0x6E,
  0x46,
  0xB4,
  0x28,
  0x04,
  0x07,
  0x46,
  0x0A,
  0x0A,
  0x00,
  0x00], 'utf-8'), () => {

    console.log('Receive Data')


    });

});


 connection.on('data', (buffer) => {
 console.log('received message:', buffer,'====',num);
 num++;
 });


});

console.log('finished')

});

 // // make bluetooth connect to remote device
// bluetooth.connect(address, channel, function(err, connection){
// if(err) return console.error(err);

// connection.on('data', (buffer) => {
// console.log('received message:', buffer.toString());
// });

// connection.write(new Buffer('Hello!', 'utf-8'));
// });

}).inquire();

Output:

cons bufferInHex = Buffer.from('some string') // init a buffer
console.log(new Uint8Array(bufferInHex)) // display buffer in decimal format
