NodeMCU VIN Power with USB Comms

Yep. I’ve “smoked” one already on a diff project. That’s why I’m asking about making a “special NodeMCU USB cable”. I can easily get USB Micro breakout boards (male and female) and wire them up without the VCC pin connected. Seems like that’s a safe way to go if you’re using VIN to power the board. But will that work? Guess I just need to do it and find out…
