I'm using Atmel Studio with Atmega328P.

I'm trying to send the decimal number 876 continuously from the micro-controller. This was just to learn.

To send 876 I need two bytes which is:

0x036C = 00000011 01101100

So I manipulated a code and here is what I use now:

#include <avr/io.h>
#define F_CPU 16000000
#define USART_BAUDRATE 9600
#define UBRR_VALUE (((F_CPU / (USART_BAUDRATE * 16UL))) - 1)


void USART0Init(void)
{
    // Set baud rate
    UBRR0H = (uint8_t)(UBRR_VALUE>>8);
    UBRR0L = (uint8_t)UBRR_VALUE;
    // Set frame format to 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
    UCSR0C |= (1<<UCSZ01)|(1<<UCSZ00);
    //enable transmission and reception
    UCSR0B |= (1<<TXEN0);
}

int main (void)
{
    //Initialize USART0
    USART0Init();
    
    while(1)
    {
        
        UDR0 = 0b00000011;
        UDR0 = 0b01101100;

        
    }
    
}

The problem is at the receiving side the data comes as:

01101100 00000011 00000011 . . .

Here is the screen shot of the binary data at the receiving end:

However it should be received correctly as two byte chunks 00000011 01101100.

And here you can see the problem of the data being received as uint16(not only 876 as desired):

How can I fix this and receive the data properly as two bytes with correct order as 876?
