I'm trying to create my own board using the NINA-W102 module and the SAMD21G18A chip.
I am looking at the schematics provided by Arduino as a guide, but the pins don't match up.
Below is an image of the NINA symbol as provided by Arduino:
Below is the symbol provided by the manufacturer:
GitHub - u-blox/Altium-Designer-Library: Symbols and Footprints for Altium Designer
As you can see, there are many problems. Just to name a few:
- Pin 1 on the Arduino schematic is SPIV_DI/GPIO23, but on the manufacturer symbol it is GPIO1/SPI_V_MOSI
- Pin 5 on the Arduino schematic is LPO_IN/GPIO32, but on the manufacturer symbol it is GPIO_5
- Pin 7 on the Arduino schematic is GPIO33, but on the manufacturer symbol it is LPO_IN
Not only this, but the manufacturer states that the 102 module has a built in antenna, but the Arduino schematic contains a U.FL connector.
At this time, when making my own schematic, I am just matching the pin numbers. I am ignoring the net/pin labels. So even though the pins don't have matching labels, I am still connecting the microcontroller to the matching pin number. However, due to the sheer number of differences, I am concerned that when I get this PCB built it's not going to work. Any advice?
