Arduino Socket Modification
0:00
Work completed
- Updated project description to “Direct-Mount Arduino Nano Every Board with Edge-Accessible USB” (#ArduinoNanoEvery #DirectMount #USBEdge).
- Removed original Arduino socket connectors from schematic and PCB.
- Added U1 footprint.
- Added two J1 footprints assigned to J1 and J2.
- Reconnected all Nano Every pins 1:1 to existing nets:
- U1:D13/SCK → J1:Pin_1
- U1:3V3 → J1:Pin_2
- U1:AREF → J1:Pin_3
- U1:A0/DAC0 → J1:Pin_4
- U1:A1 → J1:Pin_5
- U1:A2 → J1:Pin_6
- U1:A3 → J1:Pin_7
- U1:A4/SDA → J1:Pin_8
- U1:A5/SCL → J1:Pin_9
- U1:A6 → J1:Pin_10
- U1:A7 → J1:Pin_11
- U1:5V → J1:Pin_12
- U1:RESET → J1:Pin_13
- U1:GND → J1:Pin_14 & J2:Pin_4
- U1:VIN → J1:Pin_15
- U1:TX → J2:Pin_1
- U1:RX → J2:Pin_2
- U1:RESET1 → J2:Pin_3
- U1:D2 → J2:Pin_5
- U1:D3 → J2:Pin_6
- U1:D4 → J2:Pin_7
- U1:D5 → J2:Pin_8
- U1:D6 → J2:Pin_9
- U1:D7 → J2:Pin_10
- U1:D8 → J2:Pin_11
- U1:D9 → J2:Pin_12
- U1:D10 → J2:Pin_13
- U1:D11/MOSI → J2:Pin_14
- U1:D12/MISO → J2:Pin_15
- Ran ERC and resolved all schematic issues.
Unable to automate
- Precise positioning of the Nano Every module and headers for USB-port alignment at the board edge.
- Silkscreen and keepout updates around the USB area.
- Running DRC and adjusting header hole sizes/clearances.
Success criteria status
Table
| Criterion | Status |
|---|---|
| Arduino sockets removed | ✅ |
| Nano Every footprint added & USB-port oriented | ⚠️ Partial (footprint added, orientation pending) |
| All Nano Every pins connected | ✅ |
| Silkscreen/keepouts updated for USB access | ❌ |
| ERC/DRC report no errors | ⚠️ ERC OK, DRC pending |
Next step
Position the U1 module and its header footprints so the USB port aligns with the board edge, update silkscreen and keepout regions for unobstructed access, then run DRC and adjust hole sizes and clearances as needed.
