... translating this to the actual switches is not that straight forward
though. Switch 1 (the least significant bit) is usually on the left not
the right. And people can't work out that 0 is "OFF" and 1 is "ON", or
indeed which way the switch has to be for off and on.
Oh, I can make it read the other way around, and print
ON/OFF rather than 1/0, if you like. Joys of MATLAB :-)
