Parts #
Note
Amazon links are to the german amazon store and are not affiliate links, just where I bought the parts, I've tried to always use the most available parts, feel free to buy elsewhere. You can also use different microcontrollers, buttons/sensors, etc, see Creating your own lids/bins for more information.

Buttons/controls #
Note
You don't need all of these, mix and match to your needs/preferences. If you have some other buttons/controls, feel free to design your own lid (if you design something with a widely available part, a PR is welcome).
For corresponding lids, see here.
