Image to Binary Array converter for Photon OLED

I got started with the Maker kit a few days ago, and have been playing around with the OLED display. One of the features of the library is displaying bitmaps, however I couldn’t find any docs on doing this.

I found a tool online to convert images to a hex array, however the library requires binary literals, so I’ve built a quick tool to convert that hex to the required binary and format it nicely.

You can see the code at https://jsfiddle.net/a7anhzLz/2/.

To use it, copy and paste the hex only, without the trailing comma on the last element into my tool and hit convert.
