Does it matter if you don't connect all pins of Wifi Shield?

With the Max32 board there is a whole row of pins not connected. Does this effect anything? It says they're compatible.

Wifi-Shield = 802.11b

It's A7-A11 according to the board, that is not connected.

Hi @intwarrior,

All of the pins on J4 of the Wifi-shield are pass through as shown in the schematic here. J4-A6 through J4-A11 on the wifi-shield are not usable on the MAX32.

Ok, great! So doe that mean that not having these connected should not cause any issues with anything right?

Thanks!

Thanks! I wasn't sure, I am trying to problem solve issues I am having here and wanted to rule that out as I'm a newb. I have a code that's written for the I/O shield to make the LEDs High when their corresponding switches are high or their buttons are pressed. It works perfectly fine when it is just the I/O shield & the MAx32 board. But when I put the Wi-Fi Shield in between, which gets all the same pins, 3 of the 8 LEDs are high no matter what I do. I bought the Wi-Fi shield from a 3rd party, but the Max32 & I/O shield directly from here. I just want to return it if it is faulty, & buy one here if that's the case.

Thanks so much!
