After using an original version for almost a year, Christopher Monaco has revisited his iPod remote display control unit and completely redesigned it from scratch. In the second iteration the enclosure has been created with a commercial 3D printing service, and the user interface simplified for ease of use while driving. The original features carried over include track forward/back, play/pause and display of the current track being played - for example:
Apart from being a useful device that solves a proble, we really think the design process is very well done. Christopher has gone to the effort to use design tools to create the PCB, enclosure ad created something that wouldn't be too far away from a real product prototype - impressive.
