Schematic wiring and the core project files are in place, including the spec, power budget, firmware starter, bring-up plan, and FCC/CE planning notes.
Built the schematic for a USB-C powered Wi‑Fi/BLE temperature + humidity sensor node using ESP32‑C3‑MINI‑1‑N4, SHT40, TPS25940 eFuse protection, MP28301 3.3 V buck regulation, USB-C CC pull-downs, USB data ESD, VBUS TVS, reset/boot controls, status LED, and test pads. I also created the key project files: Project Specification, Power Budget and Design Notes, Firmware Starter, Board Bring-Up Plan, and Technical Construction File.
Open items:
  • I’m blocked from continuing because your account currently has no available ACUs, so AI tools are unavailable.
  • Full check results show expected PCB airwires because layout/routing has not been done yet.
  • Several generic passives/testpoints still need final manufacturer part numbers before manufacturing export.
  • Layout still needs antenna keepout, SHT40 thermal isolation, USB-C ESD placement, and buck-regulator power-loop placement.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Refill/enable ACUs, then ask me to finish verification and clean remaining manufacturing metadata.
  2. Proceed to PCB placement with ESP32 antenna edge keepout and isolated SHT40 placement.
  3. Route the board, then run DRC/ERC again.
  4. Lock exact passive/inductor MPNs and generate manufacturing files.
