multipart node to represent a byte

Question

I am trying to create a multipart node to represent a byte

I wish I could write \Byte{0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0} or \Byte {0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0} and obtain

\documentclass[12pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart}

\newcommand{\Byte}{
\node [rectangle split,rectangle split parts=8, rectangle split horizontal,draw ] at (2,2)
{\nodepart{one}0\nodepart{two}1\nodepart{three}0\nodepart{four}0\nodepart{five}1\nodepart{six}1\nodepart{seven}0\nodepart{eight}0};
}
\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\Byte
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Answer 1

Using \def you can write things like \Byte(0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart}

\def\Byte(#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8){
\node [rectangle split,rectangle split parts=8, rectangle split horizontal,draw ] at (2,2)
{\nodepart{one}#1\nodepart{two}#2\nodepart{three}#3\nodepart{four}#4\nodepart{five}#5\nodepart{six}#6\nodepart{seven}#7\nodepart{eight}#8};
}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\Byte(0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1)
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Answer 2

Here's one way to do it with the second of your desired invocations wherein we use a \foreach to built the node contents and thus prepare the node before calling it.

\documentclass[12pt]{standalone}
%\url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/67923/86}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart}

\def\numtext#1{%
  \ifcase#1\or one\or two\or three\or four\or five\or six\or seven\or eight\or nine\or ten\or
eleven\or twelve\or thirteen\or fourteen\or fifteen\or sixteen\or seventeen\or eighteen\or nineteen\or twenty\or Lots\fi}

\newcommand{\Byte}[1]{
\def\nodecontents{}%
\foreach[count=\l] \k in {#1} {
    \xappto{\nodecontents}{\noexpand\nodepart{\numtext{\l}}\k}
}
\node [rectangle split,rectangle split parts=8, rectangle split horizontal,draw ] at (2,2)
{\nodecontents};
}
\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\Byte {0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Result:
