I want to add a usb type A onto my Raspberry pi pico W. I thought about just soldering the usb type A connector onto the board and then connecting the correct pins with wires. But im not sure if that is the best way. Also, what are the correct pins XD? I don't have a D+ or D- so is it even possible to do so? yes I am a newbie πŸ™‚

Have a look at the datasheet and look for "Test points" https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/pico-datasheet.pdf

Have a look at the schematic (Appendix B: Pico schematic) in the end of the PDF. USB Vcc - Pico VBUS
