I don't know how many bits you're talking about, but consider
supplying
him with a simple look-up table rather than trying to teach him the
system.

As I say Mike, I've given him tables to take home and work out how to
make
the switch number 100 say, and he still gets it wrong most of the time.

I think that what Mike is suggesting is a table with numbers 1 to 128
(assuming 8 switches) and a picture or diagram of the DIP switches in the
correct places for each number. It might take a bit of work to create it,
but, once done, you wouldn't need to teach anybody binary for them to be
able to set the switches properly.

Thanks Colin. I've already started this, but I'm running out of paper
already. :-))
