The USB Type C connector is reversible and has two USB3.0 lanes and one USB2.0 routed. USB C supports speed up to 5Gbps in host or device mode. Connected to Linux only.
It is possible to use a passive break out board to route out up to 3 USB ports for simultaneous use: 2x USB3.0 and 1x USB2.0.
The connector has 7 pins to avoid accidental connection with the GPS port. The extra power pins allow for more current to be supplied from 5V.

All PWM pins can be configured to output PWM, OneShot, or DShot protocol in PX4. The order can be freely defined in software.
The analog current measurement is limited to the 0-3.3V range, however, the pin will survive higher voltages up to 12V.
The connector pinout is the same as for most GPS receivers.
