PI number animation
Can someone re-create this in AE?

If you unroll a circle 360 degrees you should end to 3.14 times its size. I’m not good at math but I thought I could make this with a simple expression in AE. The result was not the same… Now I feel even more dumb.
For some reason I’m 1 integer off it seems. I get 2.14 or even 2.30 (not sure) if I position the circle at line 0 (like in the example gif). If I start from 1 instead of 0, then I think I might get 3.14 but that is not the right answer – it’s right if it starts from 0.
Does someone know hot to make it work?
Here are 3 stills from my result:

I’m not sure how you have things set up, but this position expression seems to work for a 100×100 solid:
x = width*(rotation/360)*Math.PI;

Thanks Dan – works great! I got it now.
