Minimal Pi Pico 2 Setup


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.
I’ll keep this minimal: inspect the Pico 2 shield pins, select a simple I2C humidity sensor, add only its required decoupling and I2C pull-ups, wire it to the Pico 2’s 3V3/GND/I2C pins, then run review and fix any schematic issues.
I selected the SHTC3: it runs directly from the Pico 2 3V3 rail and only needs a 100 nF local decoupling capacitor plus one pair of I2C pull-ups.
The added sensor circuit is wired correctly. Review is now only flagging unused Pico header pins, so I’m tying the remaining Pico ground pins to GND and marking intentionally unused header pins as no-connect for this minimal shield.
Done — I added a minimal SHTC3 humidity/temperature sensor circuit for the Pico 2 shield: U2, 100 nF decoupling, and 10 kΩ I2C pull-ups on GPIO0/GPIO1. Power/GND/I2C wiring is complete, unused Pico shield pins are intentionally marked no-connect, and the ERC checks now report no unresolved issues.
Next step is PCB layout/placement if you want to continue.
Yes, start layout
Keep sensor near edge
Add mounting holes
Check BOM cost
Use different pins
