USB Receiving a Word

Help, brain burnout here with Easyhid and words LOL

I want to send a Word value of decimal 1000
I am sending from VB two bytes of data 10 00:

BufferOut(0) = 0
BufferOut(1) = 10
BufferOut(2) = 00

In PBP I am receiving them fine as bytes

Byte1=usbbuffer(0)
Byte2=usbbuffer(1)

Now I want to pop these into a Word Value within PBP code but using

WordData.HighByte=Byte1
WordData.LowByte=Byte2

But it takes the value and stores then as Hex Byte1 gets stored as 0A and Byte 2 gets stored as 00 and hence when I end up with 2560 in Decimal stored and not 1000.

Now the question is, do I have to convert my Decimal 1000 to hex at the VB end and send or can I convert in my PBP code after receiving?.

If using Serial data and Receiving using Hserin I just simply
HSerin [WAIT("$"),DEC4 WordData]
And would love to do that with USB as well!

I am probs missing something so obvious here LOL

Hi,
Have you thought about that 1000 DEC is HighByte=3 and LowByte=232 and not 10 00?
What you get is actually correct if you look at following:

00001010 00000000=2560 HighByte=10 DEC LowByte=0
00000011 11101000=1000 HighByte=3 DEC LowByte=232

My suggestion is to split the word in VB using a different method.

Ah now I see of course.

So in my VB prog I will take the value say 1000

Splt it down to 16bits
0000001111101000

Split again to high and low 8 bits

00000011 = 3
11101000 =232

Then send dec value of each set of 8 bits.

Excellent!
