I couldn’t do that, however, until I set up the connection between them. The installation put a shortcut on my desktop, which I can just double-click when I want to connect to a computer running Steam.
#Setting up steam link install#
I opened the console and ran the following commands on the RPi to install the Steam Link app:Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode The next step was to pair my two game devices: the RPi to display the games and my computer to broadcast the signal.
(The right analog input moves the mouse cursor, and the right trigger acts as the mouse click.) This allowed me to use it as a mouse before I got the streaming gaming set up. I plugged the USB dongle to my Steam game controller into the RPi. It does have a mouse, but I wouldn’t need it. Some RPi computers are only the actual computer this one, a 400 model, has a built-in keyboard. Now the real point of this exercise: I connected a Raspberry Pi to the other port on the switch. (This is not to be confused with the Nintendo Switch, which is connected via the first port.) I then connected the PS3 to one port on the switch (not the Switch ). I disconnected my PS3 from the third port, and instead connected the switch. The whole point of this exercise was to connect another HDMI input to my TV, which only has three ports, all of which were already in use.
I moved into a house from an apartment a little over a year ago, so a lot of my stuff is still boxed up. The other day, I got it into my head to look for an HDMI switch I had laying around.
