Where is "Do Math" option

[mikecox]

This profile calls another task called "Convert_LOCSPD_MPH." You will need to create that. The task is simply a "Variable Set" of variable %LOCSPDMPH, set that to %LOCSPD*2.23693629. Select the "Do Maths" option. This makes it easier to know how fast you are going. There should be no spaces in the formula.

I very new at this so bare with me

I thought this would be a no brainer but I can't even find "do maths"

Am I even starting in the right place?

I'm unable to view your image (work filter), but there's a Do Maths tickbox on the Variable Set action - right beneath where you set the variable To "%LOCSPD*2.23693629".

I'm unable to view your image (work filter),.

The image shows the Application, Day, Event, Location, State, Time" menu; that pops up right after you give a profile a name. I looked in all those places but haven't stumbled on the screen in you screenshot. Am I looking in the wrong place?

This is my last, I hope, stupid question. I'm studying this Tutorial.

Ah, you need to swipe over to the Tasks tab to create a Task (instead of the Profiles tab). Then click the + Button - Variables - Variable Set.

OK I got it I've also discovered that I can long hold on a Profile to get the profile options.

I think I will study the Tutorial some more before posting any more questions here At lease for now!

Thanks

I certainly nope that is not true.

I can tell you that after years-and-years-and-years in software development that they are all stupid questions. The industry thrives on them.

The only attraction to this whole arena for some of us is that we learn something new every day.
