Is there a way to connect a SparkFun microB USB Breakout (BOB-12035) to a SparkFun Thing Plus (WRL-15663) board using the VUSB pin?

I need to offer a USB plug in two different locations on the board based on h ow my customer mounts my device. One at the top and bottom. They will not be used at the same time, just one of them.

As long as you’re only supplying power to the Thing, that would be OK.

You can’t use the second USB socket for data though, the data lines are not broken out on the Thing Plus ESP32.

How would I wire the BOB-12035 to the WRL-15663 for just supplying power, no data?
