Description

I will try to convert a Toshiba libretto CT30 to a raspberry-pi laptop. I was inspired by a blog post on N-O-D-E.net to integrate the pi into an existing shell. Off course i wanted to be more ambitious and chose the libretto ct 30 as shell. This is the first project concerning hardware i am undertaking. The biggest challenge will be to fit everything in the shell, find a screen that fits the shell( 6.1 " ) and to make the original keyboard work with the raspberry pi.

I bought a libretto, with defective screen and a crack in the cover, for 1£ on ebay. The estimated delivery date is between 6 and 12 december.
An overview of features i want in the project:
- RTC(real time clock)
- raspberry pi UVS, if the battery is low autoshutdown.
- reusing the battery, finding some sort of charging circuit
- on/of button
- reusing the keyboard/mouse (teensy)
A lot of the components are available in various online shops. The challenge will be to fit everything in the shell.
I will probably have to desolder the usb/ethernet ports and relocate them, some USB peripheral like the wifi will be soldered to the pi.
A lot of thinking(and learning) to do.
Next post will be a log of the parts i want to use.
