How can eight switches become a letter?
Flip the tiles, then read the encoded message.
Each bit represents a power of two. Add the weights of the bits that are on to read the number. ASCII assigns numbers to characters; capital A is 65, which is 64 plus 1. The most significant bit is shown on the left.
Unsigned 8-bit value, weights 128 through 1. ASCII mapping for printable codes 32–126 only; this is not the full Unicode encoding system.
Encode the capital letter A: decimal 65.
Encode the capital letter A.
