To clarify...QEI is the quadrature encoder interface.
The register POSCNT is a 16-bit position count register.
The UART has a 4 byte transmit buffer that accepts data one byte at a time.
I use the Microchip ICD2 with MPLAB 7.20 in debug mode to verify that
POSCNT changes correctly when the encoder is rotated.
What I have not been able to figure out is, how do I get a 16-bit value
broken into two bytes to consecutively send via the UART?
I have searched the PICList archives (probably looking for the wrong info)
and Googled, and looked at the Microchip forums. I am not finding what I 
need to learn.
I'm not asking for a coded solution (unless someone is willing).
I just need to find out how to break that 16-bit register into 2 bytes.
Please keep in mind that this is a dsPIC and I am using the ASM30
toolsuite in MPLAB.
TIA
