Change:
>You can find your board warranty informations

to:
>You can find your board warranty information


Arduino and Genuino boards based on AVR microcontrollers get a reset and restart sketch execution each time the Serial Monitor of the Arduino Software (IDE) is opened.

This is not true for the ATmega32U4 based Arduino boards.


Change:

to:

Change:

to:

(consistent with the capitalization earlier in the paragraph)

As specified by SI:
>a space is always used to separate the unit from the number

This is done inconsistently in the page. Thus "5V" should be written as "5 V", "3.3V" as "3.3 V", "2.1mm" as "2.1 mm". The exception is when referring to pin names.


In "TECH SPECS" tab it says:
> PWM Pins All but pins 2 and 7

but then in the "DOCUMENTATION" tab it says (twice):
>Pins that can be used for PWM output are: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 using analogWrite() function.

When I read "All" I expect that to mean all the pins, including 0, 1, and the analog pins.


Eagle file and schematics links are for MKRZero. I believe the correct links are:

EDIT: Now fixed


Change:

to:

Change:

to:

The "Power" section heading is missing the necessary markup


Change:
>Located on the ICSP header only support

to:
>Located on the ICSP header only. Support


Change:

to:
>When the pin is HIGH,


Change:

to:
>By default they measure from ground to 3.3 volts, though it is possible


Change:
>change the upper end of their range using the AREF pin and the analogReference() function.

to:
>change the upper end of their range using the AREF pin and the analogReference() function.

(Add link to the function reference page, consistent with the rest of the functions mentioned in this document.)


Change:
>AREF. Reference voltage for the analog inputs.

to:
>AREF: Reference voltage for the analog inputs.


Change:
>Reset. Bring this line LOW

to:
>Reset: Bring this line LOW


Uploading sketches to the SAMD21 is different from the AVR microcontrollers found in other Arduino & Genuino boards.

The layout of this text as it wraps around the image is awkward:

Change:
>and unlike EEPROM, and it must be erased in pages before writing.

to:
>and unlike EEPROM, it must be erased in pages before writing.


Inconsistent capitalization of "Programming Port" and "Native USB Port" throughout the document.


Change:
>when you connect the Arduino Zero through the programming USB connector;

to:
>when you connect the Arduino Zero through the Programming Port USB connector;


Change:
>when you connect the Arduino Zero through the native USB connector.

to:
>when you connect the Arduino Zero through the Native USB Port connector.


Change:
>Further the main UART (serial port) is located on the same pins (0 and 1).

to:
>Further, the main UART (serial port) is located on the same pins (0 and 1).
