| chomwitt | with what program do i view the step file in the motherboard git dir? | 19:10 |
|---|---|---|
| chomwitt | ok , i managed with freecad | 19:20 |
| mntmn | chomwitt: yeah, freecad | 19:24 |
| mntmn | chomwitt: which step files are you looking for? i think there's not so much there yet from reform 2 | 19:26 |
| - jboubix_ (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~jboubix@160.178.186.192) | 19:28 | |

| chomwitt | hi . another question , what is the diff between step / stp / wrl files? | 19:33 |
| chomwitt | i was looking at.. | 19:33 |
| chomwitt | .. J0G-0003NL | 19:33 |
| mntmn | step and stp should be the same | 19:37 |
| mntmn | wrl is a VRML mesh | 19:37 |
| chomwitt | thanks. | 19:40 |
| chomwitt | i'm experimenting from a newbie angle , i'am more of a software person | 19:42 |
| chomwitt | the idea of an open/libre laptop i think is very interesting | 19:43 |
| mntmn | ah ok | 19:43 |
| mntmn | so you probably found some 3d models of the electronic components :) | 19:43 |
| chomwitt | do have an estimate of the cost of the reform2 | 19:43 |
| chomwitt | i think is importand for more people to become more interested and familiar with such a openwh project | 19:45 |
| chomwitt | and personally i'd love to have an open laptop | 19:45 |
| mntmn | the plug&play one will be around 900 EUR | 19:45 |
| mntmn | possibly we can make a DIY kit a bit cheaper | 19:46 |
| chomwitt | DIY without a monitor? | 19:46 |
| mntmn | no with everything, just you have to assemble it yourself then | 19:46 |
| mntmn | then we don't have to assemble it and can save some time + money | 19:46 |
| mntmn | so you would screw everything together etc | 19:47 |
| chomwitt | how would you 'place' your project in comparison to teres . as far as i have searched it looked to me like a decent effort to make a diy laptop. | 19:49 |
| chomwitt | ? | 19:49 |
| chomwitt | again , not a hardware person, but i search for openlaptops. | 19:50 |
| chomwitt | https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/KITS/TERES-A64-BLACK/open-source-hardware | 19:51 |
| mntmn | the teres is interesting, but lower spec and simpler build than reform and uses more OEM parts | 19:52 |
| chomwitt | i guess the comparison could be made on axis of performance and openess | 19:52 |
| chomwitt | and cost of course | 19:53 |
| mntmn | in reform most things are custom developed, like the keyboard, trackball/trackpad, battery system, case design (milled from aluminum)... | 19:53 |
| mntmn | also the reform keyboard is mechanical | 19:53 |
| mntmn | so it is not only very different from other open laptop attempts but very different from other laptops in general | 19:53 |
| mntmn | also it has a full hd IPS display, 12.5" | 19:54 |
| mntmn | 4GB DDR4, 2x PCIe controllers | 19:54 |
| mntmn | input devices are programmable, onboard cortex-a0 (power controller) is programmable | 19:55 |
| chomwitt | so you see reform2 be better on the 'openess' aspect | 19:55 |
| mntmn | yeah but also qualitatively it's a more holistic design approach | 19:55 |
| mntmn | it's more of a building from the ground up approach | 19:55 |
| mntmn | (even if it's not 100% at the end of that story yet) | 19:56 |
| mntmn | reform2 has 3x external USB3.0 ports btw, full size ethernet and sd card | 19:56 |
| chomwitt | ACTION searcing if teres 'chassis' is opendesign | 20:01 |
| rvense | quite sure it's oem. you'll probably be able to find cheap intel laptops in the same case. | 20:02 |
| chomwitt | yes.. that would be my first guess looking at it | 20:02 |
| chomwitt | in that aspect i prefer the more blocky but as mntmn said custom made and open reform | 20:03 |
| chomwitt | thanks for helping me better understand the project. if you dont mind i like to post in mastadon / diasp interesting screenshots showing the opensoftware/openhardware angle. | 20:06 |
| mntmn | pinebook is another candidate, also built mostly from OEM parts | 20:06 |
| mntmn | chomwitt: sure, go ahead | 20:07 |
| chomwitt | thanks | 20:08 |
| chomwitt | speaking of which , the J0G-0003NL step model. it's a very common electronic i guess , but is the design i see open or the companies publish cad file to help the users of the product? | 20:13 |
| mntmn | it's very common for companies to publish CAD files of electronic components. | 20:20 |
| mntmn | especially for ports etc it's important to check if everything fits before manufacturing ;) | 20:21 |
