2Wiring and programming the electronics
For this part, you need all electronic parts, the electronics top and bottom frame, and the LED strip mount.
Start by removing the headers from all electronics modules. This step is needed to make sure there is enough room for the electronics inside the case. The easiest way to do this is to cut off all pins up to the black plastic and removing the plastic, this makes it easy to heat every individual pin and taking them out using tweezers.
Next up we glue the top and bottom electronics frame together using some superglue and mount the electronics using some 4mm M2 glues (check the assembly overview for the mounting locations).
When all electronics are mounted to the frame we can start wiring the electronics using the schematics below. I've looped the power and ground because there is only one power pin available on the Arduino pro micro. -
