DPF mount for PatchAdamsPatch, here is my horrible drawing of my idea. Basically you take two peices of wood with a hinge pin holding them together for each side. the top will be fixed in place and the bottom will fit into a series of grooves on the wall bracket. the higher the groove the more tilt the frame has. done right this will only add about .5-1 inch of depth to the display. This isn’t ideal as it doesn’t allow for any side to side tilt but it should work well for up and down.
Sorry for the horrible drawing, I don’t have anything but Gimp installed here at work.

DPF update,
I was not been able to stay up late and work anymore on the digital picture frame last night but keep checking back as I will post some more tonight.

DPF – part 3As promised here are a few more details:
First to remove the keyboard without the bios freaking out just replace the flex cable with a piece of foil that will short out the last few pins of the connector, as soon as I am home I will upload a pic of this. If you look close you will see the original cable already has a kind of built-in short/jumper itself.
Second, If you are going to stack the lcd and motherboard as I have I recommend placing a piece of foil or other grounded conductive material between the lcd assembly and motherboard. The reason for this is simple, the inverter has a tendency to throw sparks as long as 3/4″ to anything grounded. This may be overkill but I prefer to be safe rather than have to rebuild the motherboard.
More to follow.
The next update should have some more pics and some info about the software side of things. Please comment on network functionality that you might like to see integrated into this project.
