Make an image spin or rotate a full rotation every minute

Hello!

I am new to making watch faces and making images move. I got some help and got a formula which makes the image rotate/spin once every other second.

$#Ds#%2==1?(#DWFSS#*60):0$

I dont understand these formulas and I have been trying to figure it out by manipulating the numbers but I want the image the rotate one full smooth rotation every time a full minute goes by. I wanted it to spin like a coin spinning but I dont think that can be done so it rotating clockwise is fine.

Thanks in advanced for any help!

Welcome to just the right place to ask questions.

We all start with those questions.

So… Let’s start with the tags help:

#Ds# The Second
#DWFSS# Second hand smooth rotation speed.
Then expressions help

%2==1 is odd %2==0 is even

So

  |every odd S |rotate 60 times faster than second hand
$#Ds#%2==1?(#DWFSS#*60):0$
                        | or don't

Now, for a coin rotation like I think you are going for you could have one image shrink x from max to zero on odd/even then another grow, maybe in the last second of a minute and the first second of a minute.
It may not work, just an idea to try, for Harvey.

Thanks for that explanation. So is there a way to make it rotate at the completion of every minute? I am not very good at this kind of math. Would I need to change it to #Dm# and #DWFMM# and set it to even or would that skip the odd minutes?

So (#Ds#==59?#DWFSS#*60:0) in rotation would only apply on the 59th second of each minute.

You can try #DWFM# and #DWFMS#.

The first one completes a 360° in a minute. But the rotation is not smooth. The second one does the same but is smooth.
