One tap rotating timing bezel

A while back I tried out the Pro VAR tags by making several rotating bezels. I just occurred to me that rather than tapping to rotate the bezel by five minutes or one minute to line it up with the minute hand I could just rotate it the same amount as the minute hand with one tap.

The first attempt worked, however I had not considered that there was no way to turn off the tag expression I used. The bezel rotated to the minute hand and then followed it around.

The solution I finally came up with that seems to work is to use this tag expression:

$#VAR_1#>0?(#DWFMS#-((#VAR_1_TE#/1000)*.1)):0$

Rotate the bezel to the minute hand and then keep it in place by subtracting elapsed time, unfortunately only available in milliseconds.

I also took the opportunity to make the tap regions larger. Don’t know why I kept them at 16 radius, which is probably the default. Doubled that.

Well Done . Great fun Pro . Obviously you have found #DNOW# . If you want to Switch off a Tap area you can send it off screen temporatly . Yes 32px Tap Pads are easier to hit .
