Convert int to binary Array

Arduino has an implementation of itoa() which can also be used for this purpose

Just a quick example

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  for(byte i = 0; i < 7; i++){
    pinMode(i+13,OUTPUT);
  }

  byte someValue = 20; //For this example, lets convert the number 20
  
  
  char binary[9] = {0}; //This is where the binary representation will be stored
  someValue += 128; //Adding 128 so that there will always be 8 digits in the string
  itoa(someValue,binary,2); //Conver someValue to a string using base 2 and save it in the array named binary
  char* string = binary + 1; //get rid of the most significant digit as you only want 7 bits


  Serial.println(string); //print out our string.
  for(byte i = 0; i < 7; i++){
    digitalWrite(i+13,string[i] - '0'); //write to the pin (the - '0' converts the bit of the string to HIGH or LOW)
  }
}

void loop()
{
}
