Visualization for Steam with Arduino

Give your gaming setup a face of its own

Build a custom faceplate that brings your Steam games and system stats onto a physical display. Visualization for Steam with Arduino combines a PC companion app and Arduino firmware for your Steam Machine or Steam gaming PC.

External hardware required. This purchase includes software and firmware only; no physical components or games are included.

Your game at a glance

• See your active Steam user and currently running game.
  
• Show game cover art and player and global achievement information where available.
  
• Monitor FPS and CPU, GPU, RAM, and VRAM usage while you play.
  
• Browse display pages with an Arduino Modulino Knob, Buttons, or Joystick.

Available metrics and achievement data depend on the game, system, drivers, and Steam data.

Connect, customize, play

The app detects a supported Arduino board and installs the matching firmware when needed. A single USB cable powers the board and carries firmware and display data. The companion app runs quietly in the background and can be minimized to the system tray.

Build with off-the-shelf modules and solder-free Qwiic connections. Create your own faceplate, enclosure, and mounting layout, with reusable components and no battery required.

What you need

• Full display setup: Arduino UNO R4 Minima or UNO R4 WiFi, Adafruit 2.8-inch TFT Display Shield V2, four Arduino Modulino LED Matrix modules, and at least one Modulino Knob, Buttons, or Joystick.
  
• Matrix-only setup: Arduino UNO R4 WiFi and four Modulino LED Matrix modules, without a TFT display or input module.
  
• USB and suitable Qwiic cables, plus your own faceplate or mounting solution. Allow room for the electronics and preserve your PC's airflow.
  
• Windows or Linux, including SteamOS, with the Steam client running and the board accessible as a USB serial device.
