Has anyone tried a Sebertec Seedling charging/data unit with a proffie? I’d like to give it a shot (bought one a while ago and found it again) and wondered if it was worth it.
It was this statement in the manual that gave me pause:
“If you want to use the Seedling in combination with other soundboards, you have to swap D+ and D-. However, we cannot guarantee that other soundboards support it.”
So on a 3.9, D+ would go to D- etc. Thoughts?

On at least some devices, they’ll work fine even with reversed data lines. It shouldn’t be damaging though, and beyond that oddity it’s just a USB port, yeah? (The charging shouldn’t be relevant for whether or not it works, that’s just power and USB-side stuff) So not too much to go wrong. It should work fine afaics.

IJLTH and at some point I really should find out exactly what Sabertrio is using for this type of thing and how it’s wired. I absolutely love having the data/flash port in the same spot as the charge port.
Ha, good point. I remembered it as USBC and thought I could use it as an adapter, but that is not correct. It has a 1.4A charging capability which is faster that onboard, but then a heat warning. I’ll just turn it into another desktop charger or add it to something else. Originally purchased when I wanted something in the same form factor as a NanoBiscotti and I uses a GHv3 for the swap out to get smoothswing.
I guess it could be used for orienting the micro usb perpendicular to the proffie, or some other type of extension.
It should work just fine with Proffieboard, Seedling V2 is now my favorite USB-C Data/Charging port, I use it in all my sabers now. Up to 2 Amps charging speed is such small form factor is top.

The thing to remember for Proffieboards is that VUSB needs to be wired up as well, or data connections (including upload/download) may not work properly.
I see that the V2 has a VBUS pad labeled on the PCB. So looks like I have a V1 and need a V2 which has the 3 wire data access setup.
