Ok once you have the needed charactes from the board you will then need to use my encryption method to get the next set of variables. The next set of variables will consist of both integers and characters.
The top set of characters relate to variables in the bottom row.

Once you have the needed variables it it just one more quick calculation to determine the final coordinates.
But wait theres a trick. You cannot just subtitute each hex integer for a decimal integer. You need to covert the entire number from a hex number to a decimal number.
