How to read values greater than 255?

hi,
i started using i2c , want run continuous rotation motor speed implemented user through udp (this part have accomplished).
the master 1 sending "slave" speed should go. however, trying write integer value greater 255 second arduino (i.e 1030).

below snippet of master code:

code: [select]


int right = 0;
int motorspeed = 0;
.............
case 0x00: // motor turning right
 right = 1024 - motorspeed; // 1024 reference point of motor there no speed above 1024 go left below go right.
 wire.begintransmission(2);
 wire.write (right);
 wire.endtransmission();
 break;


below snippet of slave code:

code: [select]


while(wire.available())
 {
   int motorspeed = wire.read();

   if (motorspeed == 0)
   {
     myservo.write (1024); //motor stopped
   }
   else
   {
     myservo.write(motorspeed); //write speed received
   }
 }


thus, clarify problem, have been searching , found out integer big read.
but amateur programmer am, wondering if can me on how go inputting/ receiving values greater 255?

thanks in advance!

send 2 bytes. can split value int 2 bytes this

code: [select]


byte1 = value >> 8;
byte2 = value & 0xff;
