GE863 pinout doesn't match datasheet

Hi all,

I’m designing a new board based on the Telit GE863 module. I found the part in the SparkFun eagle library (Yes! Thank you!) but I noticed that it doesn’t match the pinout in the latest HW manual from Telit. For example, the manual (page 10) says the GPS antenna is on pin 83, which doesn’t exist according to their pin layout diagram on page 11.

I’ve checked the Telit EVK2 schematics, but pins aren’t readable in the PDF.

Can someone point me to a better pinout doc for the GE863?

Thanks,

Brett

Pin 83 is on the footprint (10.2.1) in my copy of the hardware manual. It’s below pin 84 on the right of the diagram.

I’d check the Eagle footprint very carefully, I created one for the Pulsonix software I use and it’s quite easy to make a mistake.

Ah, thank you! I was using the diagram in 1.2, which is missing the 4 pins that do not line up with the others (including the GPS antenna). I’ll check the Eagle part closely and post back to the list when I have working hardware in hand.
