Assigning Letters to Dial Positions
For entering a code, I need an Alpha-Numeric (AN) dial and a dial to move down the character positions. On the AN dial Position 1 = A, 2 = B, ... 35 = 8, 36 = 9. Something is escaping me on how to set this up. I have created 36 unique variables with each having a corresponding letter or number. How do I set each dial position on the AN dial so when it is rotated one of the letters or numbers shows?
You will have to use javascript to concatenate a variable

Thank you. I will have to look into that. I am not too familiar with JAVA.

In the box to the right of Password each of the dashes needs to have the ability to display each character. Each time the large Character dial turns clockwise one step the next character can be entered with the AN dial. Each dash has the ability to contain a unique character. I am trying to create a text box for each character. I did this with number for entering a frequency. That was easier since the dial defaults to numbers. (Dial 2 is the character stepper dial.) Variable 123(4) are what I am testing with. Does this help?

The issue is having more than one character and setting a character, moving to the next character, and not having the previous character change also.

Where does it need to show around the dial? or elsewhere. If it is elsewhere could you use one variable and set triggers
When dial = 1 set var to 1 etc
