  1. thanks so much ... but please where is the loop() called

    1. sorry i didn't see your comment before it was hidden .So replying just now. the Loop automatically runs over and over after the setup function which runs only once after the arduino is powered up or is reset . Setup > Loop then everything happens in the Loop
