How do I convert an unsigned short (2 bytes) into a 2 char array?
Does the following code does the trick?

-----------------------------------
char array[2];
unsigned short s = 123; // Initialize it to some sample value first.

array |= s; // OR the bits to copy bit pattern into array.
            // Maybe some casting needs to be done.
-----------------------------------
