Getting started with equations

Equations Tutorial

Firstly, you may be asking: what is an equation? No, we’re not making you do math. What we call an equation is essentially a logic command or set of logic commands for the Device to follow. So far you've streamed data, but with equations you can use that data to interface with outputs like lights, motors, keyboard commands, and more. A basic example might be: "If the button is pressed, set the glow module to red." Here's how to get started building an equation:

1. On the home page, click on the “+” icon at the top right of the page, as shown in image I. This will take you to the equation menu page. If your home page doesn't have a "create" button, you are not logged into your account. See here for more on how to log in.

2. The name of the equation is at the top right of the page. By default, it will be “Equation,” but you can tap on it to edit the equation name. You will also see a blue “+” icon, which you can tap as shown in image II to expand the equation menu (shown in image III), consisting of 4 options: logic, input, output, and sequence.

Let's dive more into each of those options, starting with equation logic.
