Regulatory FCC/CE Notes — USB-C WiFi BLE T-RH Sensor
Draft, schematic-stage. FCC Part 15 intentional radiator and unintentional radiator review.
View doc
I added project documentation: specification, power/design notes, firmware starter, bring-up plan, and FCC/CE notes. I’m running checks now and will fix any real schematic issues found.
Implemented the schematic for the USB-C powered Wi‑Fi/BLE temperature/humidity sensor node with ESP32-C3, SHT40, TPS25940 input protection, TPS62840 3.3 V buck, USB programming, CC current sensing, boot/reset, and status LED. ERC/passive checks are clean; remaining reported errors are expected pre-layout airwires and generic-passive MPNs to resolve before manufacturing.
Project files created:
Suggested next steps:
  1. Do PCB placement with ESP32 antenna keepout and SHT40 thermal isolation.
  2. Route USB D+/D−, buck power loop, and sensitive sensor/ADC nets.
  3. Assign production MPNs to generic passives.
  4. Run full DRC/manufacturing checks after layout.
Place, route, assign MPNs
Start PCB placement
Route critical nets
Assign passive MPNs
Run full checks
Review USB-C compliance
