Is there an equivalent to this for micro-USB? For use on a Pico?

Hi @Mark285907,

While I’m sure such a product does exist out there, Core Electronics does not currently have anything like it in stock.

However, you could pair it with a USB-C to micro-USB adapter to connect it to the Pi Pico, bearing in mind that you would still need a USB-C cable to connect into the Power Monitor.

Hi Mark
I think the idea here is to plug this device into the power SOURCE, computer or other like a charger. NOT into the Pico or other receiving device. You will find it has a type C male and female. Plug this into the source and the cable into the female on the other end. This device is then in series with the cable.

There are quite a number go these things around with USB type A connectors for USB 2 and USB 3, I have a Ruideng model AT34 which I find quite good. Records and displays real time conditions and accumulated mWhrs and mAhrs until reset.

The device here is a type C version of one of these.
Cheers Bob

Whoops, thanks for the catch there @Robert93820. You are completely correct. I got the connections backwards.
