Hello,
I am building a little synth for children. It happened sometimes that children break the small builtin micro USB on the Teensy. I would like to add another USB port, using a strong and "children proof" USB B socket. I must to find a way to get the D+ and D- data signal from a Teensy 4.0. But I can't see any pads - except for USB host - where I could solder wires. Any ideas or workaround ? In case there is no accessible pads, is it possible to use USB host as a "regular" USB port ?

The D+ and D- pads cannot be used for Teensy programming and data in/out using Serial.print etc but only for USB Host as you have already mentioned.
You could consider something like this shown in a previous post or place the Teensy inside an enclosure and use an adaptor cable something like this. There are other adaptor cables available with other connectors.
