Design Phase – Lid Assembly Mechanics Part 1
Welcome back to the open-source laptop project! In this update we are going to delve into the mechanical design of the laptop lid. Previously, we've explored which display panels are available and which would be the best fit for our application. Our search was successful as was the testing of the panel! Now the hard part begins: fitting everything into a system that is not only robust and functional, but also looks good. While the title of this

Concept Phase – Lid Assembly Design Part 2
We are continuing the journey through lid assembly design on our Open Source Laptop project. Designing a test adapter — Layout Now we have to put all of our work in an actual hardware design. The layout of this board is straightforward, as we only have one high-speed interface to pay special attention to. The DisplayPort interface can de-skew up to 20UI per specification. UI is short for Unit Interval which is the reciprocal of the bit rate. For

Concept Phase – Lid Assembly Design Part 1
Welcome back to the open-source laptop project! In this update we will move one step closer to the design phase of the project. This is the first hands-on experience with one of the core components of the laptop — the display panel! We will decide which display panel to use, how we can integrate it into the lid, and we are going to design, assemble, and test a small DisplayPort to embedded DisplayPort adapter to light up the screen for the first
