These machines are alittle more difficult to get because of monitor-display-color-differences. Red-orange and darker purple-lilac are the hardest to tell apart on mine.
Tip 1: think of these tiles as little flags. On the left side you have 4 vertical colors that are always the same: Blue, red, yellow, and white. This is where you will be able to tell red from orange. Next, on the right will be the body of the flag ( with a different color). This is the area where you need to look at to match with the numbering system below.
Tip 2: sometimes there will be a bigger block of the same color. This will mean a repeat of the same number.
Tip 3: You read the colors from left to right and enter numbers from left to right. With double and more colors I have used a comma to seperate the numbers to save confusion. You might also like to write down the numbers on paper and use a comma to keep from confusing numbers. This way you won't be looking for the 11th button if I wrote it 11 instead of 1,1. That's red-red on a flag.
This would have been easier to do in colors and not numbers. But monitor colors are different.
With tips in mind this is how I set them up:
Octal system:
white=0-w
red=1-r
orange=2-Or
yellow=3-y
green=4-gr
blue=5-b
dark purple=6-dp
light purple=7-lp
Remember to count left to right starting with "0"
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7
The displays on the opposite walls (left side display) show you the symbols for adding and subtracting.
