Tangarine: a button faceplate for Tangara
Tangarine is a faceplate for the Tangara music player which replaces its touchwheel with a set of buttons. It is designed to fit the touchwheel hole in the stock case, so you don't have to replace it.

Like mechanical keyboards, Tangarine supports getting way too into switches and critiquing them like fancy tea or wine. For best results, say things like "switchfeel" and "notes of clickiness". |

Firmware
You'll need this branch to enable custom input devices.
Once you've flashed that, copy input.lua to the root of your SD card. You can customize the button mapping by editing button_map in this script.
Questions
Why is it called Tangarine?
Because it looks like a sliced-open tangerine, possibly in an odd color.
