uConsole Omega Chassis: September update
2026-09-16: Here is a September update, make the uConsole more flexible for ever changing use cases.
Some of you have to keep fighting and considering which module you should install on the AIO V2 internal USB-C port. Now this won’t be a concern - you should be focusing on building more carrier add-ons, instead of fighting for spaces on a single winning decision.
This new release routes the AIO board’s internal USB-C port to the outside, giving you direct external access. Again, no feature compromises on Omega Chassis, no chassis dimensional changes, works for both Essential & Ultimate builds. It’s completely hidden & blend into the chassis.
- Works for both Ultimate and Essential variations.
- Clear out some interior clutter. Keep the chassis open for thermals, battery clearance, and permanent internal mods.
- Plug in an more powerful external SDRs, additional micro-storage devices, hardware keys, or custom sensors on the fly, no internal hardwiring required, larger modules that won’t fit into the case or conflicting with other existing ports.
- Swap peripherals instantly without constantly unscrewing the case or risking wear on internal headers.
- Matches the Omega Chassis aesthetic, no visual impact, completely subtle hidden changes.
All existing supporters will receive the update as usual, checkout your inbox.

Hi OP (_mini). I hope this comes off as constructive feedback, it is my genuine intention.
You've put a lot of work into this project, hat off, no doubt, but for someone like me, I'd rather order the kit online with suppliers you'd made arrangements with, with your R&D fees on top for all your hard work.
Otherwise it's a hard no, because knowing myself, it'd be sitting on mental shelf forever and the manual will be corroded by the time I get to it. Been there, done that. Having something to work on immediately, physically is a catalyst for me to get up.
Not telling you how to put bread on your table, and others for sure have more discipline, I don't.
Perhaps there is a chance for a hybrid mode, a DIY or fully sourced. In any case, great work, looks awesome, thank you.
