Do you still put these together? I would very much like to buy a full package.

Kind regards,

I use my holidays free time to work on the next version of this module.
This one should be able to manage ambient light. The base concept is done. Now I need to build a prototype...

Looking good.
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
