Minimal Pico 2 Design

Add the minimum required components needed for this Pi Pico 2 to function properly. Keep the design as simple and minimal as possible.
You may include a single humidity sensor as the primary peripheral, along with any essential supporting components such as power regulation, pull-up resistors, decoupling capacitors, or required connectors.

Thought for a moment

I’ll add a minimal Pico 2 shield circuit: inspect the existing Pico header/module, choose a simple humidity sensor, add only required pull-ups/decoupling/power support, wire it, then run checks and fix any issues.

Thought for a moment

Added a minimal SHTC3 humidity sensor circuit: U2 on Pico GP4/GP5 I2C, 10kΩ pull-ups, 100nF local decoupling, all Pico grounds tied, and unused shield pins marked no-connect. ERC and manufacturing checks are clean; remaining airwires are expected until you approve layout/routing.
I also documented the design and power budget in Minimal Pico 2 Humidity Shield Notes.
Proceed to layout

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Shield Template 3dFF

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Shield Template 3dFF thumbnail
This is the project template for the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, the latest addition and update to Pi Pico line up.
Raspberry pi pico 2 is equipped with the RP2350, a cutting-edge, high-performance microcontroller designed with enhanced security and versatility in mind. Every element of its design has been upgraded, from the advanced CPU cores to the innovative PIO (Programmable I/O) interfacing subsystem.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has integrated a robust security architecture centered around Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M, ensuring data protection and integrity. Additionally, new low-power states and expanded package options broaden the range of applications, making the Pico 2 an ideal choice for diverse, power-sensitive projects.
