1. Identify the components: We need to know which components you are using in your project. This can usually be found in the components list or by inspecting the schematic.
2. Consult datasheets: For each component, the datasheet will provide information on the required pull-up or pull-down resistors for unconnected pins.
3. Implement as needed: If any pins require pull-up or pull-down resistors, we'll add them to the schematic.

• Microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP32): Often require pull-up or pull-down resistors on GPIO pins that are left unconnected, particularly if configured as inputs.
• Logic ICs: Pins that are not driven might require pull-up/down resistors to avoid floating inputs that could cause unpredictable behavior.
• I/O Expander ICs: Similar to microcontrollers, I/O expanders may require pull-up/down resistors on their unconnected pins.
• Analog ICs (e.g., Op-Amps): Usually, unconnected inputs should be grounded or tied to a reference voltage through a resistor.

1. List the components: Identify all components in your project.
2. Check datasheets: Look up each component’s datasheet for guidance on unconnected pins.
3. Update your design: Add resistors if needed.

1. Identify Reset/Enable Pins:
   • Review the datasheets of all components in your design to locate reset and enable pin names.
2. Determine Internal Pull Resistors:
   • Check if the components have internal pull-up or pull-down resistors on the reset/enable pins in their datasheets. If they do, external resistors might not be necessary.
3. Choose External Pull Resistors:
   • For components without internal pull resistors, select external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Typical values range from 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ.
4. Placement of Pull Resistors:
   • Add the appropriate pull-up or pull-down resistors to the schematic near each reset/enable pin.
5. Double-Check Connections:
   • For each reset/enable pin, connect one end of the resistor to the pin, and the other end to Vcc for a pull-up resistor, or to GND for a pull-down resistor. Here’s the connection format:
     • Pull-Up Resistor: Connect the pull-up resistor between the reset/enable pin and Vcc.
     • Pull-Down Resistor: Connect the pull-down resistor between the reset/enable pin and GND.
6. Label Components:
   • Label the resistors with appropriate designators (e.g., R1, R2) and update the schematic documentation accordingly.

• Connect $R1$:1 to $U1$:RESET and $R1$:2 to Vcc.
