Pin 0 and 1 as USB comunication

hi i've been working in a arduino Pro Micro Keyboard. and i want to solder a USB type C connector
but i have not the level to solder the SMD pads on the microUSB so my question is

is there a way to use those pins (0&1) to solder the USB-C ? and it would be posible upload new programs via this interface?

Do you mean you want the Arduino Micro to have a USB-C connector instead of the USB Micro connector? I think you need an adapter for that. You can get a 4-pack from Amazon for $7. Amazon.com: JXMOX USB C to Micro USB Adapter, (4-Pack) Type C Female to Micro USB Male Convert Connector Support Charge Data Sync Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S7 S7 Edge, Nexus 5 6 and Micro USB Devices (Grey) : Cell Phones & Accessories

No. The USB Micro connector connects straight to the processor. It does NOT go through Pin 0 and Pin 1. Those are the Serial1 pins and are not USB. You would need a USB-C to TTL Serial adapter to connect to them and you would need a custom bootloader installed to upload from Serial1 (Pins 0 and 1) instead of USB.

haha okey thanks, i had that idea beacose maybe i have ripped off the micro usb connector​:sweat_smile:, and i have no way to solder those smd. so i thougt the 1&0 interface would save my ass but it doesnt :joy:
