It’s a breadboard with an extender for a Raspberry Pi’s pins flipped upside down, a Raspberry Pi Pico, jumper wires, and a clip that came with a CH341A that suffers from the issue of being 5V.

The issue I think would be length of the wires.

Any thoughts? I’d consider soldering something together but I don’t have a soldering iron that would be great for something so small and I’m working with what I have on hand.

I also have a Raspberry Pi 4 and the CH341A that has the voltage issue if anyone has a better idea that might work.

    Chances are it is fine. I don’t believe the flasher goes terribly fast. Also isn’t there some sort of checksumming? I’ve never owned one of these devices but they are pretty popular so chances are if there was a serious danger a quick search would show it

      +1 it’ll be fine

      You only need to worry about wire length and ringing when you’re talking radio or modern CPU or graphics cards speeds. Anything pi related will be fine
