So the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect has now been released. to be honest, i think it’s too late to the party and i really do not think that the nano layout was the best thing for it.
I have a Nano 33 IOT and a MKR WiFi 1010, both are 3.3v boards BUT i think the MKR series boards are more hobbyist/maker friendly witht he built in battery connector /charger
This is the Nano layout
This is the MKR layout - also has a 5pin I2C connector, odd that its 5 pin and not 4 (5th pin is an alarm)
Question: which layout would you prefer
Specs

- Microphone

I am a little disappointed that they went with USB Micro B and not USB-C as micro B has its issues with breaking compared to USB-C
