Everyone who has played Fallout is familiar with terminals located throughout the game world. These are computers that the player regularly interacts with during the game. Enthusiast Rick (@r1ckp) managed to create a real working copy of the nfrjuj terminal using Raspberry Pi. This project brings a piece of the Fallout universe into the real world.

This replica looks just like the original terminal, down to the rusty spots and rounded edges. It launches a special interface that resembles the command line interface in the games. The device has an LCD screen for video output, which Rick decided to place behind a Fresnel lens to achieve a rounded effect.

The modder made the device a functional part of his smart home. It acts as an interactive text assistant capable of processing commands. Requests include controlling lights or any smart home function.

Fallout terminals have a keyboard, so Rick used the Raspberry Pi 400 in his project. It is connected via HDMI to a 7" Waveshare touchscreen, which has a retro look and feel due to the curved Fresnel lens.

The case was created from scratch using CAD software. It was printed on a Bambu A1 3D printer using PETG. Then the parts were sanded before receiving a post-apocalyptic paint job.

More photos of individual components and more details can be found on X Twitter, where the author details the project.
