Project mention: Automating Everything in a USB Cable Tester PCB Design | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-26

Each LED has a different response for how much light you get out based on how much current goes in. To get the same brightness you have to compensate for that. (Default behavior is one super dim LED, and one that is like staring at the sun.)

Code for the LEDs is here: https://github.com/JITx-Inc/jitx-cookbook/blob/main/usb_c_ca...

And yeah, cables are that bad. Can't tell you how much time is lost to figuring out why your device won't enumerate on USB and then finding the cable was the culprit.
