reTerminal CM4104032 - AI, IoT, IIoT Human Machine Interface, All-in-one Board, Modular Design, RPi CM4 32GB powered, IPS multi-touch screen, 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 5.0, rich interfaces

Product arrived fast, on time, well packaged. Been burning it in for two weeks, tested it as a Pi-Hole, OpenVPN and Wireguard server. Run TCP/IP over LORA and connected at distance using ZerTier. Planning in using it as an OpenHab server next. Does what it says on the tin. Happy with it.

Only issue is the product NEEDS a simple power pack expansion AND a breakout for the expansion connector to allow for experimentation.

I received my reTerminal in a very reasonable amount of time considering how scarce Raspberry Pi devices are right now. Packaging was great, the device looks as good in person as I hoped it would.

I was able to quickly power it up and play with the onboard sensors using the included program. The screen is fabulous and the touchscreen is a welcome upgrade from cheap resistive touchscreens. I was able to operate the OS with my finger easily.

The documentation was adequate, I had to dig around a bit to find what I wanted but did find it.

I wish it had come with Bullseye installed. Node-RED would not install on it without forcing it to revert to older components. So I flashed the OS to Bullseye.

Upgrading the OS was a bit of a challenge, starting with getting the reTerminal open to access the boot switch. Not trivial to pop that back off. Following the instructions I found I was able to get the OS updated and things went pretty smoothly overall. Not as easy as upgrading a normal Pi, but I did get the job done and Node-RED installed just fine.

Overall I love this product. Self contained Pi with a great screen!

Very solid build

It is a product that meets future product development requirements.
