How to turn DEC representation of a two-byte variable into HEX?

Question

hex

With a LUA script, I read two bytes from the device. But the problem is that the script outputs the value as a two-byte variable (that is, from zero to 65535), and I need to get two separate bytes (it can be in the form of a string, it can be immediately in the HEX representation). I'm not strong in lua. You can't get into the script, it's in the firmware.

Answer 1

lo = word & 0xFF
hi = (word >> 8) & 0xFF
