Minimal Pi 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.
I’ll build a minimal Pico 2 shield schematic: inspect the template pins, choose a simple humidity sensor, add only required power/I2C support parts, wire everything, then run checks and fix any schematic issues.
I selected the Sensirion SHTC3 because it runs directly from the Pico 2’s 3.3 V rail and only needs I2C pull-ups plus one 100 nF bypass capacitor, so no extra regulator is required.
Done — I added the minimal SHTC3 humidity/temperature sensor circuit with only R1/R2 10kΩ I2C pull-ups and C1 100nF decoupling, wired to Pico 2 GPIO4/GPIO5 and 3V3/GND. ERC now returns no unresolved categories.
I also created:
Next step is PCB layout placement; I’ll wait for your confirmation before moving into layout.
