See for the tutorial on setup.

Setup

This one is easy and only requires copying the files to the microSD card. Grab the exmaple files from https://github.com/i-am-shodan/USBArmyKnife/tree/master/examples/rickroll. I even submitted a pull request that was merged which makes it more reliable on Windows systems.

Execution

  1. Plug in the device
  2. Enjoy the browser video
  3. Observe the fun sequence of images on the USB device LCD
  4. Look at WiFi networks around you to see the lyrics as network SSIDs
Pretty easy one to do and show the basic HID functionality along with extra ESP32 capabilities work. Easy to customize as well.
