I'm looking for an object or a simple abstraction to decode the bit values of a integer ( Ex: 5 = 101, so bit 0 = 1, bit 1 = 0, bit 2 = 1). If it doesn't exist, I can program a simple external.
I've never seen (or heard of) such an object, but you could use PD's binary bitwise operators &, |, ~ for this purpose, giving them suitable constants (2**n) as arguments / right-inlet inputs.
If you need more bits than will fit into a single t_float (here on linux seems to be ca. 30 bits), it might be easier to program an external which handles lists of floats as long bit-vectors...
