Those are the instructions for what we are supposed to be doing. I have the GUI setup and everything but is it just supposed to add a particular string into the proper places when Config 1 and 2 and such are pressed? Its so confusing the way its worded. Any help would be appreciated.

2. a medium flashlight;
3. a large flashlight;
4. a radio;
5. a battery charger;

2.4.3 The configurations
Configuration 1:
– Batteries 1 and 3 in device 2;
– Battery 2 in device 6;
– Battery 6, 7, and 8 in device 4;
– Devices 1, 3, and 4 switched on;

Configuration 3:
