Abstract

We present an aperiodic tiling which is visually like the well-known Pied-de-poule textile pattern yet is aperiodic. Although the specific tiling does not repeat, the tiles do not force aperiodicity. The aperiodicity comes from a special sequence of zeros and ones, following a 1981 paper by De Bruijn. We implement the pattern in an electronic brooch using an Arduino and an LCD display.
