Create a decoder function

The first component needed is a decoder function that will translate three $8-$bit color values into $24$ consecutive calls to write$\_0()$ or write$\_1().$ The typical method used for this type of serialization of data is called $$mask and shift$,$ but there are many ways to implement it$.$ You will have to choose a method and implement it$.$

Finally, don$$t forget to hold the output low for $>50$us to latch the data into the iLED $($wait$\_100$us$()$;$)$

Write a function that does the above with the following declaration:

void writeColor$($int r$,$ int g$,$ int b$)$;

Simulate your $$hardcoded$$ color loop$()$ function and look at the resulting output on the Logic Analyzer.

QUESTION: How many cycles does your hard coded program take to write $24-$bits?

Replace the hard$-$coded calls to write$\_0(),$ write$\_1(),$ and wait$\_100$us$()$ with your new writeColor$()$ function.

Simulate your new function.

QUESTION: How many cycles does your new function take to write $24-$bits?

Verify your new function operates correctly in hardware.
