When using the breadvolt, or any battery power supply on a breadboard project, do not turn the power supply on while the Raspberry Pi Pico is connected to USB, as you could generate voltage conflicts. It is an either or. If the USB is connected, the power supply should be OFF. Or if you are going to connect the USB, first turn off the power supply. If you want to power the Pi Pico by the breadvolt, you should power the pico through the Vsys pin.

In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.
In this video, we discuss the ins and outs of remotely powering your Raspberry Pi Pico W projects using a battery. We discuss the particulars of pins 36, 3V3(OUT), pin 39, VSYS, and pin 40 VBUS. Specifically we discuss the importance of not trying to power the power rail on the breadboard from the Pi Pico and the battery at the same time. Enjoy!
