hey it’s starting to look a bit like a real thing??

two pcbs! one has a circular touch pad and a display, the other has various components
the other side! the electronics pcb has sd card slot, usb c, buttons, and a trs jack. the other pcb has a haptic motor!! they connect via a little ribbon connector
the two pcbs back to back. it looks like a little ipod!!

@jacqueline I’m not sure I’d use it these days but I’d sure as hell buy one! That’s a pretty neat device you have shaping up.

@aphistic @Natanox we really need to think of an actual name lol

Kristin Davidson {kxd}

@jacqueline @Natanox Ooooh, jPod! It sounds like gay, has your first initial, and it’s at least one step better than an iPod!

@aphistic @Natanox i feel like using 'pod' at all may be a bad idea for "apple can be very litigious" reasons

@jacqueline @aphistic @Natanox 👋 G’day! As one of the maintainers of the podcatching software formerly known as “iPodder” let me reassure you Apple’s lawyers will 💯 get in touch to point out any possible confusion between your names and their trademarks.

@aphistic @Natanox @jacqueline Add some pink and blue and you’ve got a biPod :)

@jacqueline what is this? Are you building yourself some kind of modern music player? Love the color

@jacqueline how well does this circular touchpad work? also: will it work through a case?
Gianguido

@jacqueline ayyyyyy it looks sweet!
+100 points for the purple PCB, it’ll look great in a clear case.

@jacqueline That ticks all the boxes, I can already picture it next to my turquoise iPod mini :Blobhaj_Ani_Hophop:

@jacqueline how many “inputs” does the circular touch area use?

jacqueline 🌟

@bradanlane it's just three electrodes for the wheel. we get surprisingly good accuracy from them!

@jacqueline I fully endorse this endeavor. I would love to carry around an iPod-like device and a phone that only does phone things again, like the good ol' days.

@jacqueline I mean, I still have my iPod, but it's a wee bit long in the tooth, especially because the Classic was the worst iPod in all aspects except for the fact that it went up to 120gb.

@jacqueline omg i didn't realize you have a clickwheel going

water cat :verified_paw:​

@jacqueline 👀 is there a repository to follow or something ? will it runs rockbox ?

Jabawack81

@jacqueline that looks amazing, following you to keep an eye on it ;)

Reference Glutton

@jacqueline this is soooooo cool. Is there a repo I can follow? Would live to build something like this one day...

@jacqueline ohhhh i miss a good mp3 player...

Choices now are wildly expensive audiophile DAP (like $700+) or the cheapest POS possible.

@jacqueline looks neat, I would totally get one of these if my fruit branded music player died.

@jacqueline Extremely cool - I have a nano-scale version of this project in my backlog. I'm considering of using the mini touchpads from Blackberry phones in place of a clickwheel, but maybe I should be doing an in-PCB clickwheel too 🤔
