The Omni-Terminal
Raspberry Pi 5 Desktop Hub • Smart Home • Media Station
The Vision
Why settle for a static monitor when you can build a living, breathing command center? The
Omni-Terminal is a "J.A.R.V.I.S.-like" desktop companion — always on, always ready — encapsulating
the raw power of a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) into a sleek, custom-engineered enclosure.
Key Capabilities
- Smart Hub: Centralized control for smart lights, plugs, and sensors via
touchscreen.
- Media Station: Dedicated Spotify controller with deep media integration —
browse
playlists, skip tracks, adjust volume.
- Info Deck: Always-on dashboard displaying time, weather, calendar events, and
system stats.
- Dual-Purpose Display: The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen doubles as a secondary
monitor for your main PC.
Custom Engineering
The enclosure was designed from scratch with 5 major design iterations to achieve
the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality. It features precision fit for the Pi 5 and
official 7-inch touchscreen, active cooling with a dedicated airflow housing, and modular assembly
for easy GPIO and port access.
All original 3D design files (.STEP
format) are included in the repository — open source hardware, ready to print and modify.
