  There are YouTube videos on this. Personally, the Japanese Soroban was a bit easier to get into. And it can handle both decimal and hexadecimal.

    Thank you, maybe you could share a link or specific search term I should use.

    Because I guess I'm just bad at searching, since none of the text or video guides I've found contain the information I'm looking for.

    (I want a soroban too, but so far I haven't been able to get one yet, atm I just don't use the second heaven bead or the 5th earth bead.)
