value
Outputs N crypto-random bytes encoded as a string: hex (default, 2*N characters) or base64. N comes from the number pin, defaults to 16, resets to 16 when negative, and is clamped to 256; any encoding other than hex or base64 silently falls back to hex.

A typical wiring for random bytes: number feeds the number pin; value feeds the encoding pin; the value out pin feeds convert to uppercase.
