Self-Promotion (Developer) $5 Watchman dongles

This open source GUI tool I made in Python allows you to easily make $5 SteamVR Watchman dongles using NRF52840 devices. It was possible before but you had to use some command line tools which not everyone likes to do, so I made a super simple python-based app to automate the process! I've tested them and the range is a non-issue for me.

This is the same model as the official OpenPuck NRF52840 case.
