Whoops, off by one! That's a bad (read as wrong and possibly even a
security relevant bug). You declared "ch"  to be an array with one
element, that's ch[0]. So you're not allowed to assign anything to
ch[1]. If you need two bytes, just ask for that.

Remember, inside the braces you put number of elements. It's not the
highest useable index (which is one less than number of elements).
