How to put a 16bit integer into 2 bytes (tip from Matt)

I had to convert a 16 bit integer
into 2 bytes.

these line works.
have fun.


set my16bit to 257
set LSB to (my16bit / 256) as integer
set MSB to my16bit - LSB
display dialog "LSB: " & LSB & return & "MSB: " & MSB

Interesting. Why would you need to do this?

I have written a utility application for making communication with serial hardware easy from AppleScript. It still needs a bit of polish, but I plan on posting a beta in the next few days. It will be handy for communicating with all sorts of serial hardware (thermostats, X10 interfaces not supported by Indigo, etc.). I wrote it to do some custom Crestron communication I needed, but figured I would package it up as a utility application to sell for a few bucks.

I'll let netbox describe why he was wanting the 2 byte integer to byte conversions.

Another cat is coming to the mac,

Ocelot support for Indigo is on the way.

Is the software from yesteryear that supports ADI modules (Serial bridge and the Indigo - Ocelot plugin) compatible with Indigo 6 pro and if so is there any possibility of making this available for those with an investment in ADI kit?

Serial Bridge has been discontinued for 5 years now and doesn't run on any modern Mac OS version, so this solution won't work.
