For my final project,, I would like to create a ball of LED's encased in a clear or colored bouncy ball that not only changes color but acts as if fireflies are inside. In order to create this, I plan on drawing from the idea of "Charlieplexing" and driving multiple LED's with the limited number of inputs on the Arduino board. The end result would not only be an exploration of how to wire multiple LED's that function together like a bouncing particle but also an aesthetic venture in deconstructing the monotony of static bouncy balls.
