POS Workstation

Hardware we designed.
Not hardware we sourced.

The RPi POS PC, the G2 aluminum touch monitor, and the 2×20 VFD customer display — designed by InsightRS, built to run the Insight POS App, and shipped configured in one box.

RPi POS PC

Built on Raspberry Pi 5.
Powered by Linux.

For 34 years the back office was Tim's — other people's computers sat in front of it. With V4, the hardware is ours too.

RPi POS PC front panel
4
Components. Case, I/O board, compute module, heat sink. The entire computer — and the first 300 units shipped fanless.
300+
Units shipped. Zero compute module failures. The reliability of a device built for exactly one purpose.
Next day
Replacement shipping. Pi in a padded envelope, perfect image pre-loaded. Back up the same day.

  • Linux OS — built for this hardware
    Not Windows adapted for a cash register. No licensing fees, no forced reboots mid-shift, no viruses. Boots in seconds and runs lean.
  • eMMC flash — no moving parts
    System image burned to eMMC. Every unit bit-for-bit identical. No hard drive to fail, no SATA cable to loosen.
  • RustDesk pre-installed — remote support on boot
    Loads when the POS App starts. Most issues resolve without anyone touching the hardware. No truck roll, no downtime.
  • Officially Powered by Raspberry Pi™
    Official Compute Module and certification. The badge on the unit is official, not decorative.
Every port labelled

Nothing proprietary. Nothing mysterious.

Standard connections. Unbox, read the labels, plug in. No technician required.

RPi POS PC back panel — all ports labelled
HDMI0 / HDMI1
Dual display output. Touch monitor and customer display. Standard HDMI — any compatible display works.
USB 3.0 × 4
Four fast blue USB 3.0 ports. Scanner, printer, cash drawer, and more. No proprietary adapters.
Power In (USB-C)
Standard USB-C power. The Pi draws so little that a phone charger works. No proprietary power brick.
Ethernet
Gigabit ethernet for wired reliability. WiFi antenna also included for flexible placement.
SSD
SSD expansion slot. Ready for the next generation high-performance workstation variant.
WiFi + Bluetooth
Built-in WiFi with external antenna. Bluetooth for peripheral flexibility. Both standard.
G2 Touch Monitor

We didn't source a monitor.
We designed one.

The G2 is Tim's own design — second generation. Every decision intentional. Nothing off the shelf.

G2 Touch Monitor — Tim's own design, aluminum construction
15.6"
Wide-format capacitive touch. Sized for full receipts, large keypads, multi-line displays — not adapted from a kiosk monitor.
350
Nits brightness. Readable under fluorescent store lighting, overhead LEDs, or sunlight. Most commodity monitors run 200–250.
G2
Second generation. The G1 showed what to improve. The G2 is the result — a product, not a sourced component.

  • Aluminum construction
    Not plastic. Retail is a rough environment. Aluminum is durable, premium, and professional.
  • Laminated display
    Glass bonded to LCD — no air gap, no internal reflection. Same technology Apple uses in iPad displays.
  • Blue LED power button — on the side
    Not on the back where you can't find it. On the side, in blue. Visible from the front of the counter.
  • Cable management in the stand
    Cables run through the stand, not across the counter. Clean counter, professional appearance.
Customer Display

2×20 VFD pole display.
The format Walmart uses.

A purpose-built VFD customer display — high contrast, wide angle, readable in any lighting. The format the retail industry standardized on for a reason.

  • Vacuum fluorescent display
    Bright, high-contrast, readable from any angle under any lighting. Unlike LCD that washes out in bright retail environments.
  • 2×20 format — the retail standard
    Two lines, 20 characters. Every major retailer uses this format. Rear-monitor competitors are solving a problem that was already solved.
  • Dual pricing on the display
    When dual pricing is active, both cash and credit prices show simultaneously. The customer sees the difference before they decide how to pay.
