Good morning! I was wondering how people approach working with the USB connection on the solderless model? With this board the USB connection is an inch or so inset so there isn't a practical way to have the USB connection butt up against the wall of the case. Do people just thread a USB cable through an opening in the case and just leave it dangling out? My ideal would be to find a way to have a short connection from the board to an opening in the case and then plug a cable into that when setting up at the scope. I don't particilarly like the idea of cables dangling from the case all the time.

Thoughts?
