Unfortunately, i can see no description or a manual or documentation.

thank you,

i will look into.

Hello! Creator here. I am sorry that I haven’t written full manuals for my modules yet, that is coming, but writing words is so much more tedious than code. the github repo for my modules has in the readme a description of *all of the inputs and outputs for Poppy. in the next month I will try to make manuals a priority and get updates in.

Ok thanks,

i would also be interested in what source the x or y or z values have. is it a colour value or a value from the display?

could you explain it pls.

Regards

Karl

The X and Y outputs(the bottom two) are the actual X(real) and Y(imaginary) components of the Fractal coordinate (commonly called Z in fractal math, even though that can get confusing).

The whole sequence itself is actually 64 iterations of whatever fractal math you pick, done on the location you chose with Soil(the C value in fractal stuff).

theres faint yellow lines that show the whole path the sequence will take, and a cyan square showing where it is right then. the X and Y outputs above those two are a shift register, with how many steps back from the current step they are being controlled by the small knob near them.
