I successfully replaced my first MIPI DSI connector today on an MNT Pocket motherboard after @mntmn showed me the ropes. I had been nervous to try this component so far cause of how delecate the plastic connector but went surprisingly well. #mnt

After using my aluminium backplate for quite a while, I was curious whether copper would lower the temps of my MNT Pocket Reform further (It does by ~ 3°C). @fesix and I also etched the artwork I used on the other plate into it again. That was quite a bit of work since the photoresist was not good. Next up: tempering tests to change the copper’s color and give it a more industrial look.

If you want to take a closer look and you’re at #39c3, feel free to hit me up!

I think I finally managed to find a solution for the cable mess created by the five different antennas (WLAN, Bluetooth, 2xLTE, GNSS) in my #MNT Pocket Reform. Instead of pasting the antennas to the lid, I created a thin sheet of acrylic which I can then stick the antennas to. That way, opening up the Pocket Reform display plate will no longer mess with the cabling.

Every small and big tech CEO and community manager has to make this choice. It's easier for some.

I just re-flashed my #MNT #PocketReform keyboard to match the Preonic layout that I've been using for years. My fingers are a little bit confused again, but hopefully less so than they were switching back and forth!

Flashing was easy and worked fine business.
