    //each byte in payloadBytes, change the byte (apply the cipher), and then assign that byte to the correct
    //position of txpacket. Remember that you will then need to decrypt/decode after your weather
    //station receives it, so you could do this in mqtt_subscriber.py on weather station
    //or in the POST handler in weather-backend on WWW or anywhere else, it's up to you, as long as the
    //plaintext weather data gets saved in the WWW db and displayed on the website
