I haven’t been able to modify the project yet in this session, so the project is still empty: no schematic, no components, and no wiring have been created.
What remains to be done for your sensor node:
Define the architecture:
USB-C 5 V input, sink-only default current behavior
Input protection chain with reverse protection, OVP, UVLO, and OCP sized for 0.5–3 A source planning
Efficient 3.3 V rail for logic/radio
Low-power Wi‑Fi + BLE MCU
Digital temperature/humidity sensor
Status/programming/debug interfaces as needed
Select exact parts from datasheets:
Likely an ESP32-class low-power dual-radio MCU
A low-power digital T/RH sensor
USB-C receptacle and CC resistors
Protection / power-path ICs and regulator
Build the schematic:
Add all components
Wire each IC per recommended application circuits
Add all decoupling, pull-ups, boot/enable support, and protection parts
Validate:
Check power tree and current capability
Run schematic review and fix violations
Confirm readiness before moving to layout
Recommended implementation direction once work can continue:
MCU: low-power ESP32 variant with 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi b/g/n + BLE 5.x
Sensor: digital I2C temperature/humidity sensor
Power path: USB-C 5 V sink-only front end with CC resistors, fuse/current limiting, TVS, reverse blocking, OVP/UVLO switch, then 3.3 V regulation
Consumer-use considerations: ESD protection on USB, solid decoupling, conservative protection thresholds, and clean RF/layout planning
If you want, I can next turn this into a concrete parts-and-block-level schematic plan for manual implementation.
