internal usb uart console mod
in a very hacker friendly move, the manufacturer provided test points for the usb D+/D- data lines of the charging port on the PCB. this allows to add internal usb hardware that can be connected to a PC by connecting a normal usb A to C cable to the charging port. (which will still charge the R36S at the same time.) the test points are on the "bottom" side of the pcb, you have to remove the board from the case to access them.
i used this to add an usb uart adapter that gives convenient access the serial console. (this will for some people/situations be more convenient than plugging in a usb keyboard or using wifi+ssh.)
i opted for a tiny usb uart module from aliexpress because it's neater, but you can also remove the usb connector of any other one. beware that the uart side must use 3.3V signals (not 5V). this is pulling the 3.3V power supply from the uart test points on the R36S (note that i set the jumper on the module to 3V input), which has the downside that the usb device only registers on the host when the R36S is powered up. if i were to do this again i would find a point to grab to the supply 5V from the charging port instead.
