Wow, that really helps a lot! Thanks for being so patient with me, complete novice!!!
Now I know NEARLY everything I need.
Last thing I don’t understand is WHERE I enter all these codes? It’s not in the Facer editor, is it? 
Also, if I click the “option icon” next to your watch, I don’t get the “inspection mode”, only “Report” 
Yep, in the editor/creator.
As far as inspection mode goes, you have to click on the name of the watch, if you see a little rocketship on the left, inspect mode is available. Alternately, you can just add /inspect to the url of a watch.

Thanks again dear sir! I do appreciate your kindness, tomorrow I will check it out! Finally I can work on some more complicated faces 
Have a great one @cth4242
Firstly let me say thank you. This is a very easy to understand tutorial. I have a question about the battery dial version.
I have done everything that you have suggested but have noticed an anomaly. When testing the indicator with time lapse, at 4 mins to midnight, the dial hand returns to the upright 12 position rather than remaining at empty and then going straight to full.
To explain it using your pictures, the hand is placed in the dial at the 12 o’clock position. The ±150 work perfectly, but at the 4 minutes to midnight the dial goes from empty to 12 o’clock position and sits there until midnight and then moves to the full position. Have I done something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
well i have read these tutorial 1000s of times and they make less and less sense to me, sorry but making a dial for battery life is not as easy as this tutorial makes out and ive tried every day for months
Hi @jase_nunn, thanks for your feedback. I was just comparing this tutorial with some of my other like
or
In this comparison, maybe you agree too, that this one is very simple.
No I cant agree on any of these being simple, you base the tutorial on the fact that some people have previous knowledge of the coding etc ,some maybe most do not have previous knowledge and as such are beginners , maybe a beginners guide would be more suitable with step by step instructions , the whole of facer can be quite confusing to a beginner things such as #BLN# maybe simple to those that know but a beginner will have no idea what it means or what its for
I cant even get the pointer to align correctly with full empty or 50 % when trying to create a battery dial, ll this before i even attempt to get the dial itself working
Yes that is super simple and whilst I appreciate your efforts you are Somewhat missing the point, I can create a face without any trouble at all however what I want but can’t add are battery dials amongst other things so a Basic more simple tutorial on dials would be appreciated, the one u have is complicated in my opinion when I follow all the steps u list I still have issues hopefully u saw my picture
such a lack of help on this forum , a so called community its actually shocking
Hi @jase_nunn
I have a battery dial in my watch face here:
Inspection mode should be enabled (let me know if not)
If you select the battery dial hand and look at the “rotation” settings you should see how to use.
(-90+(#BLN#*1.8))
- When you initially import your dial-hand image it should be set to the 12:00 position.
- The red tick marker (0% battery) is -90 degrees from the 12:00 position and so this becomes its starting poistion.
- The hand has to rotate 180 degrees from the red marker (0%) to the opposite white marker (100% battery) so we multiply the Battery Level Number (BLN) by 1.8 (180degrees/100 percent).
I hope this makes sense!

Thanks for replying, sadly I find this all very confusing so I’ve given up, shame facer doesn’t have dial templates like some other face making apps
It can seem very confusing at first I agree, but persevere.
-
Firstly you should understand that Facer sees the top point of a dial/circle as 0 degrees.
-
Next, you need to work out the angle position of your markers for 0% battery level and 100% battery level.
In my example above, the 0% marker (red) is -90 degrees from the top of the dial and the 100% marker is +90 degrees from the top of the dial. This means in total the hand has to rotate 180 degrees (90 degrees from -90 to 0, then 90 degrees from 0 to +90) -
Next, the battery is represented as a percentage, which means it has 100 x 1% increments.
To work out how far the hand has to rotate for each 1%, we divide the total rotation amount (180) by 100 which gives us 1.8 degrees (180/100=1.8).
So we now know the hand has to rotate 1.8 degrees for each 1% increment of the battery level. -
Now we can put the formula together:
START ANGLE POSITION + (BATTERY PERCENT NUMBER * 1.8)
or
(-90 + ( #BLN# * 1.8) )

Well, i think this doesn‘t help him a lot.
He want‘s a quick and dirty solution - with predefined hands, bezels, formulae … an easy assembling system without any effort.
That’s a shame.
It can be a steep learning curve for people who may never have used any code before, but I believe with a little perseverance most people can do it.
I agree, but we are nowadays seem to live in a world where people don‘t have endurance. They don‘t want effort, don‘t want to learn.
And besides: the tone of his texts wasn‘t very nice…
„Such a lack of help on this forum , a so called community its actually shocking“
If he asked friendly i maybe would have spend him some of my dials, dials that took me time and effort to create.

I can’t imagine Facer want to turn people away from creating faces just because they can’t make the more complex elements themselves so maybe some of the experienced people on here should start a service for those who can’t/won’t code. There could be a repository of stock modules like dials, gauges, basic animations etc.
A nice way to give back to the community.
A nice idea but i can tell i don‘t have that much time left to run such a service - beside of creating watch faces, writing instructions, develop banner … i do have a life beside facer… I run a whole family and do have a job

I totally understand, I’m in the same boat.
To be honest I was hinting more towards the staff but realistically it probably won’t happen.
