For USB powering you need to short the pads shown in red Andy, best to use pins and a jumper.
Also make sure you don't connect the FB3 to the normal power supply when this is shorted...

excellent, thanks simon.

so once i short them two connections the fb3 will take all power from the computer and i dont need the extenral power anymore?

will test tonight.
