Introduction This project implements a 2D matrix of bidirectional LEDs to simulate how fireflies in a population synchronize their flashing. Fireflies are an extraordinary species of bioluminescent animals which are able to synchronize the timing of their light emission within a flashing population. In places such as Thailand and Malaysia, during night at the right
