6. Manteniment

The Arduino Nano 33 IoT is a robust electronic device, but proper care ensures its longevity and reliable operation:

• Manipulació: Always handle the board by its edges to avoid touching components, especially the pins, which can be sensitive to static electricity.
• Medi ambient: Keep the board in a dry, clean environment. Avoid exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
• Neteja: If necessary, gently clean the board with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the board in an anti-static bag or a protective enclosure to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
• Font d'alimentació: Assegureu-vos que la font d'alimentació voltage does not exceed the maximum rating of 21V. Incorrect voltage can permanently damage the board.

The Arduino Nano 33 IoT does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Any unauthorized modifications may void the warranty.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your Arduino Nano 33 IoT, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Placa no reconeguda per l'ordinador:
  • Ensure the micro-USB cable is fully inserted and functional. Try a different cable.
  • Verify that the correct drivers are installed on your operating system. Reinstalling the Arduino IDE or the board support package might help.
  • Comproveu Eines > Port in the Arduino IDE to ensure the correct serial port is selected.
• Sketch Upload Failure:
  • Confirm that 'Arduino Nano 33 IoT' is selected under Tools > Board.
  • Check for compilation errors in the Arduino IDE console. Correct any syntax errors in your code.
  • Ensure no other program is using the serial port.
• Problemes d'alimentació:
  • If powering via USB, ensure the USB port provides sufficient current.
  • If using an external power supply, verify the voltage is within the acceptable range (up to 21V) and polarity is correct.
• Problemes de connectivitat Wi-Fi/Bluetooth:
