This is pretty flexable, If you want more Led's feel free to add them in. If you want to control the led with a transistor feel free to add that in! Also you may have noticed that my shield doesn't have a menu button. I decided not to put one in, But if you want to add one in you can. The library does support.

Notes:
 - Make sure the leads for the IR Led's don't touch the ICSP Headers! 
 - If you want to use header pins DON'T push the end of the wire from the top to the bottom in other words do picture 7, but picture 8.

Steps:

- Cut the Perf-board. I used a piece 23x18 that has a few cutouts.
- Layout the switches
- Bend the ground wire & solder it in
- Wrap the loose end of the ground, up through a hole in the perf-board. Then push it down through the next & trim the end. (Pictures 5 - 10)
- Bend the IR Leds
- Insert the Led's and solder the cathodes (Short Lead) to the ground wire
- Bend the anode of one led & solder it to the other one (Picture 21)
- Install a wire for the closest button (Picture 22)
- Add a wire for the IR LED's (Picture 23)
- Connect the lower button (Picture 24)
- Connect the middle button (Picture 25)
- Wire the top button (Picture 26)
- Connect the furthest button (Picture 27)
- Your Done!
