Minimal Pico 2 Humidity Sensor 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 keep this minimal: inspect the Pico 2 shield symbol, choose one simple I2C humidity sensor with only required pull-ups/decoupling, wire it to Pico 2 power/GPIO, then run checks and fix any issues.

Thought for a moment

Done — I added the minimal SHT31-DIS humidity/temperature sensor circuit, with 10 kΩ I2C pull-ups, 100 nF local decoupling, Pico GPIO4/GPIO5 I2C wiring, unused pins marked intentionally unused, and manufacturable MPNs for the passives.
Schematic/ERC, manufacturing, and component checks are clean. Full project review still shows PCB airwires because the new parts have not been placed/routed yet; that’s expected before layout.
I also created Minimal Pico 2 Humidity Shield Notes with the wiring, BOM, power budget, and firmware bring-up notes. Ready to proceed to PCB placement when you are.
Proceed to placement
Keep sensor exposed
Minimize board size

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Shield Template bUFu

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Shield Template bUFu 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.
