I have a slide potentiometer connected over a network connection, sadly it only gives out a value randomly (though in order...) between 0 and 1000. I want to turn this so it is a linear count from 0 to 100 as integers.
I have created a flow that pretty much does this however I occasionally get numbers passed through to the debug which have not been round to integers and I can't work out why. I have modified my flow slightly to have a UI slider for ease of sharing but the de bug fault is identical.
Any ideas on why some numbers seem to pass from the easing to the debug without being affected by any of the other node would be greatly appreciated.
