Enviro + Pack - Do PicoH and PicoWH plug directly into it?

Support

Hi,

'About to get started with Enviro+ hopefully.

Do the Pico H and Pico WH plug straight into the Enviro+?
The sales pages don’t mention it so I’m guessing the headers are the wrong way round or something?

Also.
It is possible to permanently power both this Enviro+ board and a connected PMS5003 (via Picoblade cable) from the USB connector on the Pico via a suitable Amperage mains PSU?

Thanks in advance,

George

Yes, Pico H and Pico WH will work fine with Pico Enviro+ Pack.

It is possible to permanently power both this Enviro+ board and a connected PMS5003 (via Picoblade cable) from the USB connector on the Pico via a suitable Amperage mains PSU?

Also yes, USB power to the Pico’s microUSB will power the Pico, Enviro+ and the PMS5003 sensor :)

Thanks.

One more question:

The underside of the Enviro+ board shows ‘USB’ legend next to the QW/ST connector. Is that an optional connection/connector?

Rgds, George

That label is just to show you which way round to plug the Pico into the pack - if it’s plugged in correctly the Pico’s microUSB port should line up with the USB label on the pack.
