Case and basic menu

A project log for Music32-V2 - Portable music player

Recreating the ipod with Bluetooth and an SD card slot, without losing the headphone jack

So I quickly designed a new case and it's working quite well. Feels really nice in the hand and fits all the components really nicely. I also coded up a basic menu that can be scrolled through with the capacitive touch wheel using the interpolated values. So it's now taking that degrees value that made the awesome wheel spin demo and running it through some logic to divide it into 12 interpolated segments. Unfortunately I don't have a video to share as the clickwheel connector broke so it needs replacing. Should have a video up by tomorrow hopefully. 

In the meantime have this photo of the basic main menu, still needs some work and the battery percentage and time but I think it looks alright so far. Hoping to get a thinner text on there too. Although this text has anti aliasing so it looks amazing in person. The selected item is white and the others are a dark Gray though the camera screws it up, this is actually at 25% brightness just to get a clear picture.

I think overall it's really coming together nicely. Now some people may not like the Zuney way the UI is going but that's a matter of personal taste and I sure don't have the software skills to be recreating an iPods software and UI. I think once I get some thinner text (segoe ui?) It will look really clean. I want to get the time and battery percent on the home screen too but making it a basic music player will come first. Let me know your opinions.
