A very simple (and fast) way is to define a 512 byte character string or
256 element 2-character string array and initialize it to contain
'000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f..... etc. (alternatively '00' '01' '02'...)

Then use the decimal value (base10) as an index to do a substring or pick an
array element.
