Solar WiFi Weather Station Setup

huh. is something wrong?

Thought for 11 sec

Yes — the issue is with part availability, not your project idea.

Flux doesn’t currently have the key weather-station parts available as ready-to-place library components in this project, and the custom part projects I created from datasheet pin data aren’t immediately usable inside the current schematic session. So I can document the architecture and create candidate part projects, but I can’t yet place/wire a valid schematic with those parts.

What’s done:

Project brief/spec is updated.
Baseline architecture is defined.
Missing parts were identified.
Custom part projects were created for:
- ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4
- MCP73871 LiPo charger/power-path
- TPS63031 3.3 V buck-boost regulator

Best next options:

Open and verify those new part projects, then add them to this design once available.
Upload vendor KiCad/Altium/Eagle libraries for the parts and I can import them.
Use different already-available Flux parts if you have preferred components.

Import vendor libraries

Use simpler placeholders

Verify custom parts
