bucles

Loops is an experiment that dispatches a poem at a variable tempo. It draws on a poem by @lafatbordieu that encapsulates the rhythm of things and their recursiveness. In the concept of strange loops, as Douglas Hofstadter (author of Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid) says, infinity is implicit—since what else is a loop but a way to finitely represent an endless process?

The potentiometer controls the processes' frequency: the LCD receives the command and dispatches the poem at the requested tempo, and the LEDs react accordingly, completing a full loop. Communication between components happens cyclically.

It is built on an Arduino Mega 2560 board, connected through a breadboard to:

• A 16x2 LCD, soldered to an I2C module
• A 100k-ohm potentiometer
• A series of six LEDs arranged in a circle
