</div> that means that you now have to make a part that holds (and attaches)<br>
that part inside it.<br>
<br>
i would like something that is *both*. the hinge being its own<br>
external casework in other words. the exact internal mechanism of<br>
that friction (or spring) hinge i'm not certain how they work (and<br>
don't mind!). what i'm keen to see is that those parts should<br>
clearly, simply and easily attached to the two parts.<br>
<br>
remember that what we're *not* designing is a laptop where everything<br>
has to be hidden because prying fingers might destroy it through<br>
disassembly therefore it must comprise over 140 parts (google the<br>
"bloom laptop") and take 5 professors and 30 students over 4 hours to<br>
work out how to completely take apart.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>this makes our work easier. if we are not to take care about look then we can concentrate on functionality.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
i'd like this to be designed as something that, going back to the<br>
1970s, you receive a box of bits and some instructions and quite<br>
literally make it yourself.<br>
<br>
i think you'll find that there aren't many mass-volume parts that fit<br>
that kind of strategy. there may however be some off-the-shelf door<br>
hinges from ironmongers that better fit the requirements - i'm only<br>
half kidding here!!!<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>:). in the end you will have to adapt parts but if you can make it relatively cheap and easy to make, there is no problem. In may cases this is true.<br></div><div>

<br>
</div> yes. keyboards that don't have built-in USB chip would be good (FPC<br>
keyboard matrix pinouts). the track pad however is a different<br>
matter: built-in IC (preferably USB-based) or I2C.<br>
<br>
anyone know of anything like this?<br>
