which looked quite appealing. I thought I'd get one too, so I started browsing Taobao to buy components. Then I found a super cheap VL813 board:
I immediately ordered 5 RMB worth, since even just disassembling the chip would be profitable!
I suspected an impedance mismatch issue, so I modified it to a four-layer board and redesigned it, but it still didn't work...
In the end, I bought a USB 3.0 cable and a Type-C male connector, soldered them according to the original design, and used it
since changing the female connector to a male connector requires swapping, does the reverse also apply? 
However, it wasn't completely finished; one board still wouldn't power on...
The VIN pin was receiving 5V, but there was no output. Based on my experience with Cat Wireless, I should measure the chip's enable signal. Sure enough, the EN pin only had 0.2V. To be safe, I compared it with a working board. The working board's EN pin normally has around 2.3V, so it was basically confirmed to be an enable signal problem.
That solved the problem with the USB port; it was also a broken trace on a power pin, so I added a thicker jumper wire.
