The Project Completed
The title of this post is a lie, because a project like this is never really complete. It has, however, reached the stage I envisioned in its first days. Thus, I present without further ado my new MP3 Player!
It runs happily, and you need nothing more than speakers, the keypad, and a power cord.
The "case" is two sheets of 1/4 inch Plexiglass and several bolts from Lowe's. The motherboard is upside down, mounted on the "roof" to keep the thing compact. Theoretically the thing could, with the installation of a DVD drive, play DVD's via the onboard video. I would need to write about two more lines of script. But before I get Technically, I really ought to go to bed. Hmm, I'll take it to my room and put it above my amp, plug some speakers in, and enjoy it as it was meant to be enjoyed!
