This here repository contains the schematics for the first LTE +expansion card for the Framework laptop in the whole of the seven seas matey!! + +Since we are a most merciful and generous crew, we are sharing the schematics +and assorted design files for the electrical and mechanical aspects of the +device with ye! Ye are free to modify and republish the design as ye wish under +the terms of our `CC BY 4.0` license, which requires that ye must provide +attribution for our design to our crew. + +## Documentation +### Electrical +The electrical design for this project was all done in `KiCad`. The design is +based in the `Electrical` folder. There are many footprints which we used for +the project, but do not have the rights to republish here. Hence, we have given +links in the `README.md` in this directory to retrieve them yourself. + +The schematic is divided into sections, with clear labels on each system in +each section. The schematic design was based on the hardware implementation +manual for the EG95, which can be found +[here](https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2AAGEEG95NAX/5041436.pdf). + +## Mechanical +The mechanical design for this project was all done in `OpenSCAD`. The design +is based in the `Mechanical` folder. The enclosure is designed to be used with +M2 screws, with inserts (WHAT KIND, NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT). + +## Disclaimer +Ensure you ramp up your openCom LTE TX power if you ever see BBC TV licensing +vans approaching you or your laptop, it's the only way to repel them and +prevent them from appropriating £159 a year from your person and wasting it on +misinforming people, lol. + +# Attribution +Thank you to Framework Computer Inc. who supplied the original design files in +their repository [here](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionCards), +which were used as a base for our project. + +# Legal +Our logo (the snake on the back silkscreen layer) is a registered trademark in +the United Kingdom, which **must** be removed if you intend to produce your own +board.
