Soldered the components and code uploaded!
In this session, I soldered the components physically to the PCB and uploaded the code. The soldering session was fun, but soldering the header pins to the Xiao needed precision and time. After soldering everything in place, I uploaded the code. I had to debug the code many times, change GPIO pin functions, commands, and more.
Final look:

Nice PCB! If you are not going to have a top plate you need some other way to mount the PCB to the case. You could add screw holes in the PCB and model standoffs in the case to screw it down or something like that.

I believe you NEED to have a top part of the case for blueprint due to safety concerns. also should make assets folder and a cad folder
