From the project
A PCB to turn Tascam's DR-40 into a USB C device
This is an adapter PCB that replaces the DR-40's USB mini port with a host charging capable USB C port.
I have done USB C mods to many of the devices I own, and I wanted to make one for my DR-40. This may also work on a DR-40X, but I do not own one to confirm this. This may work on any SMD USB mini port, I have used this pcb on several devices that are not the DR-40.
