The way i convert to BCD is as follows. Note: this may not be most
efficient but it works. Also, this is to convert an 8bit into three BCD
digits, but its easily expandable
Start by subtracting 100 from your value. If result is negative, stop,
else increment 100's counter and loop
Next subtract 10. If result is negative stop. else increment 10's counter
and loop
Whats left is the units digit.
