USB access on the JGAurora

Just a warning that the 5V on the USB port appears to be tied to 5V on the motherboard so if you connect with the printer switched off, it will try and power itself from the USB host. If you are using a Raspberry Pi (as I am for octoprint), this can cause the Raspberry Pi to fail to boot and potentially even damage the power supply.
I am considering making a USB cable with the 5V line disconnected to avoid this though I am also considering powering the Raspberry Pi from the JGAurora power supply (I think there should be 5V available).
