Mark Riley did this using MindScript but I don't recall having already seen the
equivalent in NQC.

Rather than use a #define macro (speaking of which, I need to fix the syntax
highlighting of preprocessor macros to account for multiple lines) I would use a
function:

void SetLEDBinary2(const int &x)
{
  SetLED(LED_MODE_ON, x);
  SetLED(LED_MODE_YELLOW, (x >> 6) & 0x01);
  // use SetLED rather than SetLight so that you can pass a variable
  SetLED(LED_MODE_VLL, x & 0x80);
}

In NQC the resulting compiled code will be identical to what you get when using
a preprocessor macro (but it looks nicer, imho).

I feel a little sheepish posting such simple code, but I needed to write this function anyway, and it's a legitimate illustration of a couple functions, which is the goal of "Spybot Studies" and this is a run-on sentence. /* led_8bit_display A (...)
