I am designing a PCB for a robot. It has a socket for a Teensy 3.6, which will act as the robot's microcontroller. Is it OK to power the Teensy by connecting 5V to the Teensy's VIN pin and ground to the Teensy's GND pin next to pin 13? My assumption is that all the GND pins are connected to each other so that would be OK. Or do I need to use the GND next to the 0 pin?
Also, do I need to cut any leads on the back on the Teensy when providing external power like this?
The reason I'm asking is because I smoked my Teensy, so I'm trying to figure out why. I just wanted to confirm that my initial assumptions were valid.
