After fixing the map to the frame, remove the transparent plexiglass from the frame.

Using a small driller with a 0.75mm bit, drill through all 256 cities on the map.

In the lower and central part of the map (Ocean over Antarctica) is the 8x32 display which will show scrolling text.

Drill all the pixels of the display, with a 0.5cm pitch between one hole and another.

It is suggested to use a plastic stencyl to mark the points to be drilled (as in the photo)

Define the position of the 8 tiles and based on the holes that will illuminate, measure the length of the optical fibers to be applied to the tile.

For the correspondence between the pixels of the card and the relative city of the world to be illuminated, use the files attached to this step.

Insert each single optical fiber into the hole in the card.

Fix with PVA glue.

Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Do not use hot glue because it melts the fiber!

Insert the 8 matrices in the respective mask.

Fix the tiles one at a time in their position with hot glue.

Insert each single optical fiber into the hole of the corresponding city.

Fix all the fibers with PVA glue. Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Using wire cutters, cut all fibers to the level of the map

Put the plexiglass back on, removing the protective film from both sides.

Solder the components to the OpticalShow PCB..

For the Wemos Mini it is advisable to solder the female dip connectors to the board, in order to be able to extract the Wemos Mini in case of replacement.
