ADF animation

[gary20]

I'm trying to create an ADF tuner with knobs and dials representing units, tenths, hundreds and thousands.
I've used the same animation for the knobs and dials at 360 keyframes and a mousrect which seems to be ok. I'll post an example below (for the 100 units).
Where I'm struggling is with the <code> section of the animation.
The knobs and dials do turn on mouse clicks and wheel operation, but they're all over the map as far as reading the ADF setting.
Can anyone please explain the sequence after the (A:ADF ACTIVE FREQUENCY:1,KHz), eg what do the following mean in the code : "1000 / 10 % 36 * dnor" and why cant I get this to work !!!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Gary

1000 / is divide the frequency by 1000
10 % is 10 modulo, which is the remainder of the number obtained above divided by 10 (56 modulo 10 is 6)
36* multiplies the result by 36.
Dnor takes any number larger than 360 and subtracts 360 from that.

So since frequencies run between 100 and 1700:

1700 / 1000 =1.7
10 modulo = 1.7
1.7 * 36 =61.2

So that’s the largest key frame you can get.

But many people ignore the top band and limit it to 999. In that case the largest key frame would be 36.

100 / 1000 =0.1
10 modulo = 0.1
0.1 * 36 =3.6

So that’s the smallest key frame.

What you want is a number that goes between 0 and 360, so you have a full rotation. Or between 36 and 360, allowing for frequency numbers between 0 and 100 for appearance sake.

With the 36 * in there, that means a number between 0 and 10. That’s why they used modulo 10, which gives you that result.

But I don’t think that the 1000/ is going to give you what you want? If you limit it to 999, then 100 / would give a maximum key frame of 360, as desired.

That said, my understanding of this kind of stuff is limited and I could be all wrong?

Hope this helps,
