Sean and Kendra

Well today they finally should up on our door step.  Early this morning we got a visit from our FedEx woman.  I have to say “These are the droids we are looking for” -Star Wars.  So happy to finally have this thing in my hand …. goodbye xv6900 hello Droid Incredible by HTC!  Kendra is loving her’s too.  I set it up for her this morning before she left for work!

Here’s a quick update on the project. I received my LCD controller board and everything is good. I did some quick test with my trusty netbook and as you can see below looks quite good.  Now to start gathering the other supplies … Endlighten, LED stripes, etc!

Well I got started on my MT project today.  This first step I had to take was to find out if my LCD from my notebook had any FFC issues and it seems that everything is good on that front.  I also had to find out if there is a compatible controller card from my LCD.  Since it is originally a laptop display it needs to be converted into a desktop display for MT applications.  I’m still waiting on that information but a thread at the afterdawn forum was very helpful in my initial research on the conversion.  The reason this step is so important is because it will ultimately decide if this project continues with the materials I have and also the design of my NUI all together.

The LCD is a 15.4″ display and came out of a Gateway MX7120 notebook.  Here are some pictures of the tear down:
