Installing RaspberryPi 3B+.
Bought a RaspberryPi 3B+, printed a case and a camera mount. I *can* solder 6 wires to the header and run them to the einsy board as though the RPi 3B+ was just a RPi Zero, but someone, somewhere mentioned that it could be connected via USB instead (no soldering - yay!)
Before I go trying to create and solder a wiring harness, (a) is a USB connection possible, and (b) is there anything I need to know about making it work?

why solder? Us a pin connector.

To answer the question asked... Yes you can connect your 3B+ to the printer with the USB cable. Doing so also avoids power issues and such which can manifest when using the onboard RPi port and requires no special attention otherwise.

RE: Installing RaspberryPi 3B+.
Thanks, Steve. And cwbullet, I'd solder (or probably crimp) because I don't have an 8-pin to 6-pin connector already, and I love to make such things, thus introducing anguish into my otherwise-perfect life.
So, run a USB-Type-A-to-USB-Type-B cable, A-to-theRPi, B-to-the-top-of-theEinsy-Enclosure, I assume.
What, then (if anything) do I need to do to get it up and running?
