You didn't told if you want to convert in Slate or in C.
Anyway, here is the basic idea:
if the highest bit is 1, then number is negative, to know the number
you change all the bits to the other value by doing the value xor (exclusive 
or)
the value, then you add 1.

An other way, around this, for converting two bytes SInt16, to UInt16
value = 256 * byte[0] + byte[1] ' this concatenates the 2 bytes
if value < 0
  then value = - (65536 - value)
65536 is 1 more than all the bits to 1.

or maybe this is value= 256 * byte[1] + byte[0] (I am confused a bit)

I don't know if this is what you wanted to know.
