Can I break off this USB input?


#1

See pic. It's in the way of my build (crashes with a toggle on an enclosure I've spent a week making) and I'd like to remove it. Can I just remove it, or will it make the whole board not work? I have no use for it in my build.

It is the USB host port, so you can remove it if you don't need it. Just make sure you don't short out any of the connections when you remove the port, and don't damage any nearby SMD components

Awesome, thanks for the swift and helpful reply!
