Manually figuring out the routes for all 4 buttons.
Yes, I know the soldering is ugly.
Also manually routed the shield. Here is the mapping of the 16 pin connector socket for LED matrix and the routes to the Arduino Mega pinouts. The correct mapping might be the horizontal mirrored version; I didn't have a connector cable.
I only had access to single sided PCB so red PCB routes are on the top/main side and blue routes are on the back that had to be manually connected with wires.
Planning and designing the controller cases.
(Partially) Initial design. I forgot the divot where the soldering on the PCB takes up space. In the original case, you'll see I melted it. Screw holes and cable hole are not in the CAD because I didn't have enough time to make sure they're were they should be and decided to just drill them.
Putting it all together.
Added minor changes to the case design. Filet edges, screw holes, tighter tolerances, hole for ethernet cable, and printed with higher quality settings.
