Sure, whatever makes you happy. But if I wanted to use the SENSE lines,
I'd probably make an adapter that brought them out to alligator clips that I
could
clip to the +5/GND points on the board, for a more reliable connection.
The only problem would be if you bumped them and they disconnected, the
regulation would go crazy and fry the board.
That's why I prefer to just clip my meter to the +5/GND points and dial the
voltage
in for each board. Maybe you fix them and swap them so fast that you need
the
automatic regulation. I'm not that quick.
