Clarifying board design intentions.

Planning board design steps.

Goal: Create a base nRF52840 board, omitting Sense-specific peripherals and exposing only core MCU power and standard interfaces.

Planned steps:

Clean up peripherals and keep only core I/O/power.
Expose GPIO/SPI/I2C/UART on headers; add USB, LEDs, reset/boot, SWD.
Add power input and 3.3 V regulation with decoupling/ESD.
Wire nets, run ERC/DRC, prep for layout.

Before we start:

Do you want to use the existing module footprint but ignore sensors, or switch to a discrete nRF52840 IC?
What power input(s) should we support (USB only, battery, external 5–12 V)?
Any form-factor or header style you prefer (e.g., 2x7, 1x12, JST, or XIAO-compatible pins)?

Click Start on the plan bar when ready and I’ll execute it.

Clarifying board requirements.

I’ll create a base schematic around nRF52840, expose core interfaces, and omit Sense peripherals. We’ll add power, USB, SWD, reset/boot, and required passives, then wire and ERC-check.

Before I start:

Discrete nRF52840 or keep the XIAO footprint?
Power input: USB only, or also battery/external?
Any header style or form factor to target?

Click Start on the plan bar and I’ll proceed.
