  1. Lilbits: GNOME 46, the rise of AI PCs, and a clever DIY Framework Laptop Expansion Card

    The Framework Laptop 13 and Framework Laptop 16 both feature a modular Expansion Card system that lets you decide which ports you want the laptop to have, and where they’re positioned (with some limitations).
    But the company has also open sourced a reference design for Expansion Cards, which allows anyone to design their own. And hardware […]

  2. Framework's laptops use a USB-C powered Expansion Card system that lets you decide which ports (or other hardware) the laptop has. But it also lets you design your own - like this wireless mouse & keyboard + USB-A card. buff.ly/3THfj2C

  3. And with that, the #DongleHiderPlus is done!

    It features room for 2-3 skinned dongles while still providing an external USB A 3 port.

    I tested it and it works like a charm* !
    The receiver and different USB 2 and even USB 3 devices worked on the first attempt.

    Massive props to @frameworkcomputer for making the whole development process very easy, with all needed information already public and even supplying a base 3D-printing-ready #ExpansionCard model.

  4. I'm currently in the process of designing an #ExpansionCard for my new #FrameworkLaptop.

    I need the #Unifying #dongle (lower latency), but don't want it sticking out and losing a whole slot.

    So I'm going to throw a USB hub and the peeled dongle on a PCB and hope it all works out :D

    As a further experiment, I routed the USB A SS lines past the hub (USB 2 D+/D- connected to port 1 of the hub).
    Not sure if this will play nice with USB drivers, but it's worth a try.

  5. Framework's Laptops use USB-C Expansion cards for HDMI, Display, USB, headphone, and Ethernet ports. But up until now the only SD card reader was microSD.

    Now Framework is working on a full-sized SD card reader, which the company says has been its most consistently requested Expansion Card.
