This video is a full guide on how to assemble a USBValve. USBValve is a handy gadget that is used to test and verify USB devices and provide immediate feedback on the attached OLED Screen. The github page for the project is https://github.com/cecio/USBvalve?tab=readme-ov-file and all credit goes to the original creator. This is also where you can find the firmware to get your device working once you build it.
