Developer Releases ClaudeGauge ESP32-S3 LCARS Dashboard

A developer released ClaudeGauge, an open-source ESP32-S3 gadget that displays real-time usage metrics for Anthropic's Claude AI in a Star Trek LCARS-inspired UI. Published on GitHub (MIT license), the PlatformIO/Arduino firmware supports two inexpensive displays, seven dashboard screens, API spending and token breakdowns, rate-limit timers, and a Vercel edge proxy plus Chrome extension.
Key Points
- 1Tracks real-time Claude API spend, token usage, sessions, commits, PRs, and system health on ESP32-S3.
- 2Uses Vercel edge proxy and PSRAM-rendering to bypass Cloudflare restrictions and enable flicker-free UI.
- 3Enables low-cost, offline-capable desk monitoring with extensible MIT-licensed firmware for contributors.
Scoring Rationale
Actionable open-source firmware with practical ESP32 integration, but niche hardware focus and single-source release limit broader impact.
