Powering Rpi from Biboard v0 while USB is connected
When the Biboard is supplying 5V to power a Raspberry Pi, would it hurt anything to connect the USB from the Pi to the USB-C input of the Biboard? I just want to make sure that connecting the live USB power back to the Biboard would not be a problem. Thanks.

It works! No perpetual power supply but tapping into 5V to power the RPi and connecting the USB to USB-c worked with no ill effects. I just have to mount the old RPi 2 I've been using and see how well Bittle moves and if the battery life goes down too much. If it doesn't work well, I'll pick up a RPi 0W which also works with VirtualHere. Then I'll do a separate post to let people know of this alternative wifi solution.
