Arduino nano BLE 33 Sense designspark

Hello,

Does anyone would have the Arduino Nano BLE 33 Sense files for designspark or know where I could get it? I have been looking for it but couldn't find it. I also have checked if it could be possible to convert it from eagle but it is the first time I am using both software and I am a bit lost...

Thanks

I very much doubt it.

Thanks for your answer

Yes I have created an account and found that one https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/reference-design-of-arduino-nano-3-0
But is it okay to use it with Arduino Nano BLE 33 Sense ? That would mean the sketch is the same for all Arduino Nano?

I don't understand the question here.
What processor does that link use?
Unless it uses the nRF52840 microcontroller then you can't add sensors and have it act like a Nano 33 BLE sense.
I am on a Mac so that software would not work for me so I cant see myself.

Thanks for the answer.
On the link I sent, I can download the schematic and the PCB of Arduino Nano (so ATmega328 microcontroller, I don't understand the relation with nRF52840). I was asking if these files are also usable with Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, and not only the basic arduino nano?

The Arduino Nano Classic is the only nano that uses the ATmega328 microcontroller. The Arduino 33 BLE and BLE sense use the nRF52840 microcontroller. The two processors are not in any way compatible, that is they are totally different.
So if you add all the sensors to a Nano Classic then there is no way that can run 33 BLE sense code on it.
This naming convention is a bit odd on behalf of Arduino, the only reason I can thing they use it is that nano defines the form factor of the board.

So a big fat NO

Oh yes sorry for my mistake, I thought there were similar ...

get it, thanks !

So yes I have an account on designspark/ rs but didn't find the schemes/PCB for Arduino Nano BLE 33 sense

You can get the schematics here
https://docs.arduino.cc/static/4d30cc2dd8a8d0b07aade8501c8a5f29/schematics.pdf

And the CAD files here
https://docs.arduino.cc/static/722e62484d39226aa5502d1beff58779/ABX00031-cad-files.zip

And the Fritzing crap here

I was looking for the scheme that you can convert into PCB, I don't know if these files are okay even if I can indeed open the CAD file with designspark

What automatically create it, no that doesn't happen in the world of cad layouts, at least not in the ones you or I could afford.

However all you need to do is to input the schematic to the PCB layout of your choice.

Well they are taken from the open source depository that Arduino publish so they are OK. But I feel what you are asking for doesn't exist.
