Temperature and Humidity Sensor Node Design

Work done
  • Retrieved the required schematic/layout guidance and checked the project state.
  • Created a complete 555 timer LED flasher schematic in the project, using U1 NE555P, D1 red LED, R1 330Ω, R2 10kΩ, R3 100kΩ, C1 10uF, C2 100nF, C3 10nF, and J1 5V/GND input.
  • Wired U1 in astable mode: 5V/GND power, RESET tied high, DISCH/THRES/TRIG timing network, CONT bypassed, and OUT driving the LED through R1.
  • Renamed the project to 555 LED Flasher and added Design Notes documenting the value choices and ~0.7 Hz blink-rate estimate.
  • Verified the schematic and BOM/ERC review: no open ERROR/WARNING review issues were reported at the time checked.
Success criteria review
  • ✅ Complete flashing LED schematic using a 555 astable circuit was created.
  • ✅ Power, ground, timing, control-bypass, and LED output connections were established.
  • ✅ ERC/BOM review returned no active ERROR/WARNING/OPEN issues at verification time.
  • ⚠️ Basic PCB preparation was only partially reached: the layout exists, but I could not continue to resize/place/route due to execution limits.
Next steps
I can proceed to PCB layout when available: set a compact board size/2-layer stackup, optionally add mounting holes, place the connector at an edge, group the 555 timing components near U1, then route and run DRC/airwire checks.

Design Notes
555 LED Flasher
  • Supply: 5 V via J1 terminal block.
  • Oscillator: U1 NE555P in astable configuration.
  • Timing network: R2 = 10 kΩ, R3 = 100 kΩ, C1 = 10 µF.
  • Approximate frequency: f ≈ 1.44 / ((R2 + 2×R3)×C1) ≈ 0.69 Hz.
  • LED output: U1 OUT drives D1 through R1 = 330 Ω.
  • Support passives: C2 = 100 nF from 5 V to GND for U1 decoupling; C3 = 10 nF from CONT to GND for control-voltage noise bypass.
