Tesla Challenge 9: Decimal-Binary Converter

Subject: Base 2 converter
From: Joe (周海涛) <joe@longteng-co-ltd.gd.cn>

We need some sort of radio-based converter that calculates decimal numbers into binary and vice versa. It's very tiring to have to open a tab in the CONCEPT-EXPLORE browser just to convert a 6-bit number. I'm surprised nobody has complained about this yet. We're electrical engineers, after all!

Small hint: Take advantage of the fact that you have no fixed-position inputs or outputs.

Big hint: A ROM with all powers of 2 from 2^9 to 2^0 is very useful.

Optimization tip: If you're using a separate microcontroller for binary to decimal and for decimal to binary, hook them up to the same ROM and to the same tx output.
