I'm sure this will be emphasized in the comments, but be aware: If you do use a USB-C connector on a project like I did, know that plugging a conventional USB-C device to it could damage one or both devices!
Should you decide you need remote control leaf blowers again: Bring the built-in trigger potentiometer connections out to pins on your external connector. A simple usb-c dongle could be made that just loops those pins back into the input to the controller. It would work as a sort of key, if that key is plugged in then it works as a normal blower. Remove the key and plug in a wire and you're back to remote control. The dongle could be super tiny, just a usb-c connector with a few wires crossed.
