reTerminal is an AWESOME Raspberry Pi CM4 Touch Device

today what we're going to be talking today what we're going to be talking about is probably one of the most about is probably one of the most about is probably one of the most fascinating devices that has ever showed fascinating devices that has ever showed fascinating devices that has ever showed up in my P.O box this device right here up in my P.O box this device right here up in my P.O box this device right here that looks like a Super Nintendo that looks like a Super Nintendo that looks like a Super Nintendo cartridge is the re-terminal by Seed cartridge is the re-terminal by Seed cartridge is the re-terminal by Seed Studio what this is is a little computer Studio what this is is a little computer Studio what this is is a little computer with the Raspberry Pi cm4 compute module with the Raspberry Pi cm4 compute module with the Raspberry Pi cm4 compute module so with that it has the cortex a72 in so with that it has the cortex a72 in so with that it has the cortex a72 in here we have four gigabytes of LP ddr4 here we have four gigabytes of LP ddr4 here we have four gigabytes of LP ddr4 memory that features Dual Band Wi-Fi memory that features Dual Band Wi-Fi memory that features Dual Band Wi-Fi Bluetooth 5 and this little screen right Bluetooth 5 and this little screen right Bluetooth 5 and this little screen right here is a 5 inch 720p touch display now here is a 5 inch 720p touch display now here is a 5 inch 720p touch display now this thing has numerous use cases of this thing has numerous use cases of this thing has numerous use cases of course you just use it as a base course you just use it as a base course you just use it as a base computer as it does feature the typical computer as it does feature the typical computer as it does feature the typical Raspberry Pi operating system on it you Raspberry Pi operating system on it you Raspberry Pi operating system on it you can use it for robotics it has some can use it for robotics it has some can use it for robotics it has some pre-included sensors that we're going to pre-included sensors that we're going to pre-included sensors that we're going to be talking about you of course could use be talking about you of course could use be talking about you of course could use it for your Smart Home applications it for your Smart Home applications it for your Smart Home applications there's really a lot you could do with there's really a lot you could do with there's really a lot you could do with this and we're going to be talking about this and we're going to be talking about this and we're going to be talking about some of that after we tell you about the some of that after we tell you about the some of that after we tell you about the sponsor of today's video These wallets sponsor of today's video These wallets sponsor of today's video These wallets are awesome they feature a quick release are awesome they feature a quick release are awesome they feature a quick release mechanism that fans out all your cards mechanism that fans out all your cards mechanism that fans out all your cards saving you time and effort the wallet I saving you time and effort the wallet I saving you time and effort the wallet I have here is called the Parliament and have here is called the Parliament and have here is called the Parliament and it's my personal favorite feels great it's my personal favorite feels great it's my personal favorite feels great quality stitching and there are quality stitching and there are quality stitching and there are additional pockets for extra cards and additional pockets for extra cards and additional pockets for extra cards and inside there's a great place to clip inside there's a great place to clip inside there's a great place to clip your bills or place the optional your bills or place the optional your bills or place the optional Bluetooth tracker with solar charging Bluetooth tracker with solar charging Bluetooth tracker with solar charging don't want to use this tracker well they don't want to use this tracker well they don't want to use this tracker well they have the same wallet and an aluminum have the same wallet and an aluminum have the same wallet and an aluminum card holder with the perfect spot to card holder with the perfect spot to card holder with the perfect spot to place an Apple Air tag they have a fair place an Apple Air tag they have a fair place an Apple Air tag they have a fair bit of items with different colors and bit of items with different colors and bit of items with different colors and styles so chances are they will have the styles so chances are they will have the styles so chances are they will have the perfect item for you and better yet if

perfect item for you and better yet if perfect item for you and better yet if you use the koteca at checkout you could you use the koteca at checkout you could you use the koteca at checkout you could get up to 25 percent off all orders or get up to 25 percent off all orders or get up to 25 percent off all orders or 35 off if you spend more than 200 as 35 off if you spend more than 200 as 35 off if you spend more than 200 as part of their Black Friday sale running part of their Black Friday sale running part of their Black Friday sale running until the 27th you can also get a free until the 27th you can also get a free until the 27th you can also get a free cash clip so check the link down below cash clip so check the link down below cash clip so check the link down below so focusing back onto this device in the so focusing back onto this device in the so focusing back onto this device in the Box it really didn't come with much Box it really didn't come with much Box it really didn't come with much other than the actual device itself and other than the actual device itself and other than the actual device itself and looking at more of the i o particularly looking at more of the i o particularly looking at more of the i o particularly there's a lot of uh mounting options on there's a lot of uh mounting options on there's a lot of uh mounting options on this device there's things on the side this device there's things on the side this device there's things on the side and of course there there's this one and of course there there's this one and of course there there's this one that I've attached this little mini that I've attached this little mini that I've attached this little mini tripod to which you can see there this tripod to which you can see there this tripod to which you can see there this is the device with nothing attached to is the device with nothing attached to is the device with nothing attached to it at all on the front here we have some it at all on the front here we have some it at all on the front here we have some LED indicator lights including power CIS LED indicator lights including power CIS LED indicator lights including power CIS Satan user these buttons right here you Satan user these buttons right here you Satan user these buttons right here you can program to do really whatever you can program to do really whatever you can program to do really whatever you want by default I think they're just want by default I think they're just want by default I think they're just attached to some letters in the regular attached to some letters in the regular attached to some letters in the regular operating system over here on the side operating system over here on the side operating system over here on the side we have our 40 pin gpio so you can we have our 40 pin gpio so you can we have our 40 pin gpio so you can connect really whatever you could connect really whatever you could connect really whatever you could connect to any regular Raspberry Pi connect to any regular Raspberry Pi connect to any regular Raspberry Pi there and on this side it's just some there and on this side it's just some there and on this side it's just some more familiar stuff we have our USBC for more familiar stuff we have our USBC for more familiar stuff we have our USBC for power we have a I believe this is Mini power we have a I believe this is Mini power we have a I believe this is Mini or micro HDMI here whatever is standard or micro HDMI here whatever is standard or micro HDMI here whatever is standard on the pi 4 we have our gigabit internet on the pi 4 we have our gigabit internet on the pi 4 we have our gigabit internet and two USB ports there's a little reset and two USB ports there's a little reset and two USB ports there's a little reset button here on the bottom and yeah button here on the bottom and yeah button here on the bottom and yeah really that is about it that's the really that is about it that's the really that is about it that's the entire device within the device there's entire device within the device there's entire device within the device there's actually some additional built-in actually some additional built-in actually some additional built-in modules including a light sensor modules including a light sensor modules including a light sensor real-time clock there's a little buzzer real-time clock there's a little buzzer real-time clock there's a little buzzer and there's an accelerometer in here so and there's an accelerometer in here so and there's an accelerometer in here so first I'm going to pop these off these first I'm going to pop these off these first I'm going to pop these off these little grippy guys there and then hidden little grippy guys there and then hidden little grippy guys there and then hidden in there there are are some screws now in there there are are some screws now in there there are are some screws now the cool thing is other than the

the cool thing is other than the the cool thing is other than the re-terminal itself the only thing it re-terminal itself the only thing it re-terminal itself the only thing it came with is this little screwdriver so came with is this little screwdriver so came with is this little screwdriver so I'm going to go ahead and use that to I'm going to go ahead and use that to I'm going to go ahead and use that to pop these out here so there's our first pop these out here so there's our first pop these out here so there's our first one one one second so with those four screws out I'm second so with those four screws out I'm second so with those four screws out I'm going to go ahead and just run my finger going to go ahead and just run my finger going to go ahead and just run my finger along this plastic here to pull the along this plastic here to pull the along this plastic here to pull the clips if we pop this off this right here clips if we pop this off this right here clips if we pop this off this right here is our industrial high speed interface is our industrial high speed interface is our industrial high speed interface so there we go now that we have the back so there we go now that we have the back so there we go now that we have the back cover off what we're going to want to do cover off what we're going to want to do cover off what we're going to want to do real quick is pop off this heat sink and real quick is pop off this heat sink and real quick is pop off this heat sink and it is a rather impressive and beefy heat it is a rather impressive and beefy heat it is a rather impressive and beefy heat sink for what it is which it is kind of sink for what it is which it is kind of sink for what it is which it is kind of a good thing because if you are going to a good thing because if you are going to a good thing because if you are going to be using this in industrial applications be using this in industrial applications be using this in industrial applications I mean there are factories that get hot I mean there are factories that get hot I mean there are factories that get hot I used to work in a Frito-Lay I used to work in a Frito-Lay I used to work in a Frito-Lay manufacturing facility and one of the manufacturing facility and one of the manufacturing facility and one of the biggest problems we had there was biggest problems we had there was biggest problems we had there was equipment like this overheating so there equipment like this overheating so there equipment like this overheating so there we go our heat sink is now off I mean it we go our heat sink is now off I mean it we go our heat sink is now off I mean it is a pretty good looking heat sink and is a pretty good looking heat sink and is a pretty good looking heat sink and we can see down here it actually has a we can see down here it actually has a we can see down here it actually has a thermal pad on the CPU unit so now from thermal pad on the CPU unit so now from thermal pad on the CPU unit so now from here they're kind of hard to see but it here they're kind of hard to see but it here they're kind of hard to see but it looks like there's two screws in there looks like there's two screws in there looks like there's two screws in there and two screws up here so I'm going to and two screws up here so I'm going to and two screws up here so I'm going to go ahead and disassemble those so we'll go ahead and disassemble those so we'll go ahead and disassemble those so we'll start with this one by our PI module so start with this one by our PI module so start with this one by our PI module so now with those screws loosened this now with those screws loosened this now with those screws loosened this whole thing should pop off now there we whole thing should pop off now there we whole thing should pop off now there we go and there we are we looking good so go and there we are we looking good so go and there we are we looking good so I'm going to swing this around here whoa I'm going to swing this around here whoa I'm going to swing this around here whoa the last thing I want to lose are these the last thing I want to lose are these the last thing I want to lose are these little teeny screws here and here's our little teeny screws here and here's our little teeny screws here and here's our board so from the inside we have our board so from the inside we have our board so from the inside we have our gpio pins right here this chip right gpio pins right here this chip right gpio pins right here this chip right here is the MCU for the LCD screen we here is the MCU for the LCD screen we here is the MCU for the LCD screen we have a 22 pin CSI camera Port this is a have a 22 pin CSI camera Port this is a have a 22 pin CSI camera Port this is a 15 pin CSI camera Port right here it's 15 pin CSI camera Port right here it's 15 pin CSI camera Port right here it's plugged in currently to the front screen

plugged in currently to the front screen plugged in currently to the front screen but this is a DSi display port and our but this is a DSi display port and our but this is a DSi display port and our touch interface and then on this little touch interface and then on this little touch interface and then on this little pie board here we have our Wi-Fi pie board here we have our Wi-Fi pie board here we have our Wi-Fi Bluetooth chip our 32 gigabytes of emmc Bluetooth chip our 32 gigabytes of emmc Bluetooth chip our 32 gigabytes of emmc flash storage this is our gigabit flash storage this is our gigabit flash storage this is our gigabit Ethernet phy right here is our RAM and Ethernet phy right here is our RAM and Ethernet phy right here is our RAM and then of course this right here under then of course this right here under then of course this right here under this little thermal pad is our broadcam this little thermal pad is our broadcam this little thermal pad is our broadcam at BCM 2711 CPU this guy right here is at BCM 2711 CPU this guy right here is at BCM 2711 CPU this guy right here is the connect for our light sensor under the connect for our light sensor under the connect for our light sensor under that this little teeny tiny chip here's that this little teeny tiny chip here's that this little teeny tiny chip here's our accelerometer we have some of the our accelerometer we have some of the our accelerometer we have some of the ports over here we talked about earlier ports over here we talked about earlier ports over here we talked about earlier this bigger chip right here is our this bigger chip right here is our this bigger chip right here is our ethernet Transformer down here we have a ethernet Transformer down here we have a ethernet Transformer down here we have a reset button we have our SD card slot reset button we have our SD card slot reset button we have our SD card slot this is our actual little buzzer here of this is our actual little buzzer here of this is our actual little buzzer here of course this right here is our RTC course this right here is our RTC course this right here is our RTC battery we have our real-time clock chip battery we have our real-time clock chip battery we have our real-time clock chip right here super small and there's a lot right here super small and there's a lot right here super small and there's a lot more going on here but that is above my more going on here but that is above my more going on here but that is above my uh knowledge level overall definitely a uh knowledge level overall definitely a uh knowledge level overall definitely a real nice looking piece of hardware and real nice looking piece of hardware and real nice looking piece of hardware and then right here it talks about some of then right here it talks about some of then right here it talks about some of the actual use cases for the device we the actual use cases for the device we the actual use cases for the device we have the weather dashboard or robot have the weather dashboard or robot have the weather dashboard or robot control which if you have a factory you control which if you have a factory you control which if you have a factory you can install one of these and actually can install one of these and actually can install one of these and actually program it and set it up to be able to program it and set it up to be able to program it and set it up to be able to have a touch screen and interact with have a touch screen and interact with have a touch screen and interact with all the actual Hardware in your facility all the actual Hardware in your facility all the actual Hardware in your facility AI applications and of course if you are AI applications and of course if you are AI applications and of course if you are a little smarter than me you can design a little smarter than me you can design a little smarter than me you can design your own user interfaces using a variety your own user interfaces using a variety your own user interfaces using a variety of languages that's cool because of languages that's cool because of languages that's cool because directly on here you have links to their directly on here you have links to their directly on here you have links to their Wiki and various resources to kind of Wiki and various resources to kind of Wiki and various resources to kind of help you actually program and design help you actually program and design help you actually program and design various things so building your own UI various things so building your own UI various things so building your own UI using flutter it goes into some of the using flutter it goes into some of the using flutter it goes into some of the things that you're going to want to do things that you're going to want to do things that you're going to want to do to actually jump into the proper

to actually jump into the proper to actually jump into the proper environments and the tutorials here are environments and the tutorials here are environments and the tutorials here are quite extensive you can see how far it quite extensive you can see how far it quite extensive you can see how far it goes code examples and a whole heck of a goes code examples and a whole heck of a goes code examples and a whole heck of a lot more Go download a bit we can see lot more Go download a bit we can see lot more Go download a bit we can see some practical tools this is compatible some practical tools this is compatible some practical tools this is compatible with home assistant and there is a full with home assistant and there is a full with home assistant and there is a full guide right here so this is what it guide right here so this is what it guide right here so this is what it could look like if you actually utilize could look like if you actually utilize could look like if you actually utilize home assistant you can set this up as home assistant you can set this up as home assistant you can set this up as your dashboard mount it like right by your dashboard mount it like right by your dashboard mount it like right by your front door so you can turn on and your front door so you can turn on and your front door so you can turn on and access everything with ease and I mean access everything with ease and I mean access everything with ease and I mean that that looks really good it has even that that looks really good it has even that that looks really good it has even like the colors there so you can change like the colors there so you can change like the colors there so you can change your bed lamp to a red enable disable your bed lamp to a red enable disable your bed lamp to a red enable disable LED strip control super cool basically LED strip control super cool basically LED strip control super cool basically anything you could do with home anything you could do with home anything you could do with home assistant and of course just like with assistant and of course just like with assistant and of course just like with flutter they have a whole comprehensive flutter they have a whole comprehensive flutter they have a whole comprehensive guide on how to do just about everything guide on how to do just about everything guide on how to do just about everything so what we're going to do now is go so what we're going to do now is go so what we're going to do now is go ahead plug it in set it up and check out ahead plug it in set it up and check out ahead plug it in set it up and check out what is pre included on this little what is pre included on this little what is pre included on this little system all right so this right here is system all right so this right here is system all right so this right here is our re-terminal plugged in ready to go our re-terminal plugged in ready to go our re-terminal plugged in ready to go just takes that single USB there and just takes that single USB there and just takes that single USB there and this is what we're gonna see when we this is what we're gonna see when we this is what we're gonna see when we first boot up into the system just a first boot up into the system just a first boot up into the system just a little warning saying that the default little warning saying that the default little warning saying that the default SSH password and all that hasn't been SSH password and all that hasn't been SSH password and all that hasn't been changed that is something that is changed that is something that is changed that is something that is definitely recommended to do I'm gonna definitely recommended to do I'm gonna definitely recommended to do I'm gonna use the touch screen and hit OK and now use the touch screen and hit OK and now use the touch screen and hit OK and now it's going to run us through a real it's going to run us through a real it's going to run us through a real quick Setup Wizard so before we start we quick Setup Wizard so before we start we quick Setup Wizard so before we start we have a few things to do let's go next have a few things to do let's go next have a few things to do let's go next here it's asking our location so I'm here it's asking our location so I'm here it's asking our location so I'm just going to go next and then here you just going to go next and then here you just going to go next and then here you can see it's asking us to change our can see it's asking us to change our can see it's asking us to change our password so what I'm going to do real password so what I'm going to do real password so what I'm going to do real quick is just change it to something quick is just change it to something quick is just change it to something super simple and you can see a keyboard super simple and you can see a keyboard super simple and you can see a keyboard doesn't really come up or anything so doesn't really come up or anything so doesn't really come up or anything so I'm just going to switch it to these I'm just going to switch it to these I'm just going to switch it to these four buttons and if I uncheck hide

four buttons and if I uncheck hide four buttons and if I uncheck hide characters you can kind of see what they characters you can kind of see what they characters you can kind of see what they are there ASDF which obviously for are there ASDF which obviously for are there ASDF which obviously for security purpose I would not recommend security purpose I would not recommend security purpose I would not recommend making this here A actual password that making this here A actual password that making this here A actual password that right there is just asking us if we have right there is just asking us if we have right there is just asking us if we have black borders we don't have we do but black borders we don't have we do but black borders we don't have we do but not on our actual screen so I'm just not on our actual screen so I'm just not on our actual screen so I'm just going to go next and then we have our going to go next and then we have our going to go next and then we have our Wi-Fi network so you can see it Wi-Fi network so you can see it Wi-Fi network so you can see it automatically detected some I'm going to automatically detected some I'm going to automatically detected some I'm going to go ahead and skip this for now and hit go ahead and skip this for now and hit go ahead and skip this for now and hit next and then we have the option to next and then we have the option to next and then we have the option to update I'm going to go ahead and skip update I'm going to go ahead and skip update I'm going to go ahead and skip that for now and done so now we are in that for now and done so now we are in that for now and done so now we are in the system and it is your typical the system and it is your typical the system and it is your typical Raspberry Pi operating system so you can Raspberry Pi operating system so you can Raspberry Pi operating system so you can see if I tap there I have all the see if I tap there I have all the see if I tap there I have all the options for internet sound video various options for internet sound video various options for internet sound video various accessories run shutdown and some more accessories run shutdown and some more accessories run shutdown and some more I'm not going to dive too far into this I'm not going to dive too far into this I'm not going to dive too far into this as you probably have played with this or as you probably have played with this or as you probably have played with this or at least seen this operating system in at least seen this operating system in at least seen this operating system in the past but what I am going to do is go the past but what I am going to do is go the past but what I am going to do is go ahead and that icon right there is ahead and that icon right there is ahead and that icon right there is re-terminal I'm going to set this down re-terminal I'm going to set this down re-terminal I'm going to set this down open that up there wait for it to launch open that up there wait for it to launch open that up there wait for it to launch and there we go so this is the default and there we go so this is the default and there we go so this is the default re-terminal dashboard so if I get a re-terminal dashboard so if I get a re-terminal dashboard so if I get a little closer you can see some of the little closer you can see some of the little closer you can see some of the system configuration on the side there system configuration on the side there system configuration on the side there including the build number Raspberry Pi including the build number Raspberry Pi including the build number Raspberry Pi version the raspberry and operating version the raspberry and operating version the raspberry and operating system the kernel version and all that system the kernel version and all that system the kernel version and all that if I tap dashboard here it's going to if I tap dashboard here it's going to if I tap dashboard here it's going to take us to just some general system take us to just some general system take us to just some general system usage so we have our CPU RAM storage and usage so we have our CPU RAM storage and usage so we have our CPU RAM storage and CPU temperature there and you can see CPU temperature there and you can see CPU temperature there and you can see over here on this side it just kind of over here on this side it just kind of over here on this side it just kind of tabbed us down one slot if I go right tabbed us down one slot if I go right tabbed us down one slot if I go right here this is going to show us some of here this is going to show us some of here this is going to show us some of our sensors and some of the other UI and our sensors and some of the other UI and our sensors and some of the other UI and things that we could do let's go ahead things that we could do let's go ahead things that we could do let's go ahead and zoom it on in just a bit here so you and zoom it on in just a bit here so you and zoom it on in just a bit here so you could see it better this right here is could see it better this right here is could see it better this right here is our light sensor and the sensor is right our light sensor and the sensor is right our light sensor and the sensor is right here so if I'm to cover this up you can

here so if I'm to cover this up you can here so if I'm to cover this up you can see the different feedback we're getting see the different feedback we're getting see the different feedback we're getting there when I actually manipulate that there when I actually manipulate that there when I actually manipulate that sensor and then of course we have our sensor and then of course we have our sensor and then of course we have our accelerometer so if I kind of tilt this accelerometer so if I kind of tilt this accelerometer so if I kind of tilt this you can see that bottom graph showing us you can see that bottom graph showing us you can see that bottom graph showing us some feedback depending on how our some feedback depending on how our some feedback depending on how our systems laid out of course all this is systems laid out of course all this is systems laid out of course all this is open source so if you have programming open source so if you have programming open source so if you have programming knowledge you could actually program knowledge you could actually program knowledge you could actually program this to detect it and actually have a this to detect it and actually have a this to detect it and actually have a decent use case for this the buttons decent use case for this the buttons decent use case for this the buttons over here on the side is just kind of over here on the side is just kind of over here on the side is just kind of showing that they work if I tap the showing that they work if I tap the showing that they work if I tap the buttons you can see the screen giving me buttons you can see the screen giving me buttons you can see the screen giving me some feedback that the buttons are some feedback that the buttons are some feedback that the buttons are working touch it panel if I go ahead and working touch it panel if I go ahead and working touch it panel if I go ahead and tap in the center you can see where that tap in the center you can see where that tap in the center you can see where that feedback was so it's just all or showing feedback was so it's just all or showing feedback was so it's just all or showing us that all these sensors are working as us that all these sensors are working as us that all these sensors are working as they should be if I go down here we just they should be if I go down here we just they should be if I go down here we just have an example schematic of something have an example schematic of something have an example schematic of something that we can do with this in the factory that we can do with this in the factory that we can do with this in the factory this page doesn't really have any this page doesn't really have any this page doesn't really have any function this is mostly just for function this is mostly just for function this is mostly just for demonstration and then of course if we demonstration and then of course if we demonstration and then of course if we go down here we have some settings so go down here we have some settings so go down here we have some settings so you can enable or disable camera VNC SSH you can enable or disable camera VNC SSH you can enable or disable camera VNC SSH ic2 the LED backlight so we can lower ic2 the LED backlight so we can lower ic2 the LED backlight so we can lower and raise that as we need to of course and raise that as we need to of course and raise that as we need to of course we can shut down reboot and exit from we can shut down reboot and exit from we can shut down reboot and exit from here so that is just some of the stuff here so that is just some of the stuff here so that is just some of the stuff that is included on this little device that is included on this little device that is included on this little device so with that I do hope you enjoyed this so with that I do hope you enjoyed this so with that I do hope you enjoyed this video make sure you subscribe and you video make sure you subscribe and you video make sure you subscribe and you ring that Bell so you do not miss any ring that Bell so you do not miss any ring that Bell so you do not miss any future content going over various single future content going over various single future content going over various single board computers interfaces like this we board computers interfaces like this we board computers interfaces like this we cover software news here and a whole cover software news here and a whole cover software news here and a whole bunch of things on this channel it's bunch of things on this channel it's bunch of things on this channel it's definitely worth a follow and with that definitely worth a follow and with that definitely worth a follow and with that I do hope you have an absolutely I do hope you have an absolutely I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and good bye
