Question about rumble.

[jsphonorio]

I have been getting all my pieces together to build my first gun. I've been following a lot of the directions here. I followed the posted guide and video for the rumble. But just realized that the rumble says any 5v motor but the Pico only has the 3.3 v. Did I miss a step or requirement for rumble?

Looking at this
"The 3V3(OUT) pin provides a 3.3V power output that can be useful to power external circuits. The VBUS (USB Power Input) is the micro-USB input voltage. So, if you're powering the Raspberry Pi Pico via the USB port using 5V, you'll get 5V on the VBUS pin."

I'm guessing the camera goes on the 3v3 out and I can attach the rumble to the v bus since I'll be powering it via USB?

Unless you're using a Wii camera which strictly requires 3.3V, a DF Robot camera can use either. But since you have 3.3V anyways, it doesn't matter but would be preferred for cleanliness.

Most rumble motors can run off 3.3V as well, either through VSYS or 3V3 OUT, but if your motor absolutely requires 5V then you can use VBUS which pulls from the leftover voltage directly from the USB host's power.

Basically just answered yourself there, lol

Thanks. Sorry about that. I was unsure and asked, and kept googling
