Created by NaKyle Wright and published under Valve's SteamHardware GitLab group, the project includes a full bill of materials (Adafruit ESP32 Feather, 5.83-inch monochrome e-ink panel), 3D-printable STEP/STL files, wiring guides, and assembly walkthroughs. The faceplate attaches magnetically like the stock panel and connects via Bluetooth to display system stats. A companion Steam app is still in development. The open-source nature also allows third-party vendors to build their own faceplates, with JSAUX already teasing similar accessories. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
