You can change pins to your wish. Actually I have circuit design for Particle photon also.

Frame wire connection

Freeformable Circuit Code by Devanagaraj

Arduino
Just change the button hex number to your remote numbers.
Open serial moniter in arduino ide to get your hex number of respective remote.
#include <IRremote.h>
// follow me on insta www.instagram.com/itz_me_stark

int RECV_PIN = 0; //Rx pin
int del= 100;
int led[] = {A4, 4, 5, A5, 6, 7, A0, 8 ,9 , A1 , 10 ,11 ,A2 , 12 ,13 ,A3 ,2 ,3 };

#define val1 1031 // button 7
#define val2 1026 // button 2
#define val3 1027 // button 3
#define val4 1028 // button 4
#define val5 1029 // button 5
#define val6 1223 //power button for full loop effects
#define val7 1030 // button 6
