Serial Port Read

[syd_b]

Hi,
How can I read 2 bytes from the serial port (USART_READ) and store this value to make a single value?

What I want is to read the bytes and then join them to convert them to a value. For example if I read 11111111 and then 0000001. Join them to make a value of 511

It´s posible to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,
you should check in your uC datasheet about UART.Maybe your uC has only 1 byte buffer and then if your sending 2 bytes at the same time your second byte will be lost.I don't know what do you mean about converting 11111111 with 00000001, please explain it detailed.
