Hi. I bought a PiPower 3. So fair so good - however, I can Not find and Information about the pinnen of the „Pin Headers for RPi“. Easy question: which signal is on which pin?

I am asking because I want to operate on my **PiPower 3** the Solution acc. [Raspberry Pi UPS Power Bank - Monitor Battery on Blynk](https://how2electronics.com/raspberry-pi-ups-power-bank-with-battery-monitoring-on-blynk/) (they use it on the previous PiPower Version).

Regards from Andreas

Please review the tutorial instructions here:  
🔗 [Pipower 3 Quick User Guide](https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pipower3/en/latest/quick_user_guide.html#pinout)

**Key Improvement in Pipower 3:**  
Unlike Pipower V2 which required manual pin detection wiring, **Pipower 3 comes pre-connected to the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins**. This means:

1. **No manual wiring needed** for pin detection
2. Simply install our Pipower 3 software to get started

Hello und thanks for your reply

I’ll follow what you recommended - that is the easy way to go which is acc my first idea.

However, there is a software solution defined for the v2 of the PiPower and therefore I am looking for a comparison - are the signals defined for version 2 also available for version 3?

Best regards  
Andreas
