Put a simple but unique and relatively prime resistor in each pod. Measure the network resistance and using Thevenin's theorem work out the configuration.

Problem: You cant tell order, as A followed by B in series is equivalent to B then A.

Wow, brilliant! The order may not matter in my case... hm, I'll have to look more into this.
