where the hell do I solder the power

Raspberry Pi Pico
(No pins ordered.)

I think all power comes over USB. Otherwise, I think you can solder some onto the power rails that should be labeled in pinouts you can find basically anywhere. 3V3 is important. Don't wanna fry it.

Where exactly is the USB??? No clue. Invisible, as I don’t see it. I accidentally bought one without the soldering pins (ah great ¬_¬). Yes, I CAN get a PCB/Breadboard, but the thing is, designing a PCB without frying my brain is NOT easy. Sure, I can do a simple on on KiCAD 8, but making an Automated Robotic Arm with detachable magnetic arms that charge via EMP (Electromagnetic Pulses) is out of my brain. Also, what’s 3V3?

See that little plug? That's a Micro USB type B plug. The kind you find on older phones (not Apple). 3V3 is nerd "slang" for 3.3 volts. Hold on, I have a pinout on my phone...

That isn’t a micro USB, mate, hol’ on, lemme check.

I think that’s the dock.

It can be used for data transmission and power alike.

Power? Well, on the topic of that, I DID connect that thru my dock to my Mac buuuuut- no signal? The Board didn’t show up. hm.

I own one. I believe I know what I am talking about.

Also, pin 40 is VBUS. You can connect 5 volts to there.

I found the dock, thx.

Just that it doesn’t turn on when I connect it to my Mac.

Hope the pinout helps.

It does, indeed! Thank you! Btw, which is better, Raspberry or Arduino?

Arduino is simpler and a bit more "industrial". Raspberry Pi is more for computing. So if you want some sort of movement AI, I suggest an RPi 5.

AI? Mine is manual.

Then a Pico is enough.

Thx =D.
Btw, the numbering is at the back.
