From the project
A replacement board for a Wii U dock, with a USB type C connector.
A small board designed to replace the proprietary Wii U dock charging port with a USB type C port.
Features: Includes pads for 5.1kΩ resistors, to allow the use of 'smart' chargers. Pads on the + output allow the addition of a switch - bridge these pads with a 0Ω resistor if you're not using one. Board is a near drop-in replacement for the original - only a small amount of sanding inside the dock is required. No alteration to the outside of the dock is necessary (unless you add a switch).
