Temperature and Humidity Sensor Node Design
Make me a temperature and humidity sensor node with Wifi and Bluetooth, powered by USB-C (5V) for consumer use.
It should be a low-power environmental node with a digital T/RH sensor, ultra-low-power MCU with Wi-Fi + Bluetooth (dual-radio) — 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n plus BLE 5.x powered by USB-C (5 V) — USB-C receptacle 5 V default; include reverse/OVP/UVLO/OCP protection and plan for 0.5–3 A sources.

Plan
- Design a low-power consumer temperature and humidity sensor node for the project “Frail Tan Time Machine” that includes a digital temperature/RH sensor, an ultra-low-power MCU with dual radio Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (supporting 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n plus BLE 5.x), powered from a USB-C 5 V default sink and robust input protection (reverse polarity, OVP, UVLO, and OCP) to handle sources from 0.5 A up to 3 A.
#Implementation plan
-
Update project metadata
- Edit the project description in the project properties to reflect the sensor node design, power, and connectivity requirements.
-
Define system architecture and key components
- Select and add a digital temperature and humidity sensor (e.g., SHTC3 or an equivalent digital sensor) from the Flux library with I²C interface.
- Select and add an ultra-low-power MCU with integrated dual-radio support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (e.g., an ESP32-S3 or similar) from the Flux parts library.
-
Design the power subsystem and robust input protection
- Add a USB-C connector for power entry.
- Design and add power protection circuitry including reverse polarity protection, over-voltage protection (OVP), undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and over-current protection (OCP). Add necessary components (diodes, transient suppressors, MOSFETs, etc.) from the Flux library accordingly.
- Validate that the input power system accepts a range from 0.5 A to 3 A.
-
Schematic integration
- Connect the power subsystem to the MCU and sensor circuits.
- Route appropriate I²C or digital interface signals from the sensor to the MCU.
- Ensure ground and power nets are correctly shared between all components.
-
Verification and final review
- Verify that the schematic meets the low-power requirements and robust input protection objectives.
- Make any necessary adjustments based on the review of interconnections and component selection.
#Success criteria
- The final schematic includes a digital temperature and humidity sensor and an ultra-low-power MCU with dual Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capability.
- The USB-C power entry design incorporates reverse polarity, OVP, UVLO, and OCP measures, ensuring safe operation from 0.5 A to 3 A sources.
- All connections between power, sensor, and MCU circuits comply with the design requirements and are ready for layout implementation.
