Slider (Decimal) to Binary
Hello all,
I would like to control a text layer to read a padded 10-bit binary number, ideally controlled by a slider.
ie.
0 Decimal = 0000000000512 Decimal = 10000000000
1024 Decimal = 1111111111
I can’t find any expressions that would work to do this, although I imagine it should be quite trivial, I can’t imagine nobody has ever needed to do this before?
Suggestions welcome.

Yup, it’s pretty easy. just add this code to the source text of the text layer :
decimal = thisComp.layer("slider controller").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
Number(decimal).toString(2)
// done by VFXING

That’s perfect, thank you 🙂
Any suggestions on how to pad to 10 bits?

That would be:
decimal=effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value;
binary = decimal.toString(2).padStart(10,"0"); -
Thank you so much both – that’s absolutely perfect.

You’re welcome.
