Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Sensor Node Design


I’m blocked from executing design actions because this session has no remaining credits, so I could not add components, wire the schematic, run datasheet checks, or perform review validation.
Current project state remains unchanged:
  • Components: 0
  • Nets: 0
  • Project is still the empty draft: “Interior Rose Massive Robot Spider”
  • No schematic, layout, power budget, or documentation has been created yet.
Recommended next design plan when credits are available:
  1. Rename/project-document the design as a USB-C Wi-Fi/BLE temperature-humidity sensor node.
  2. Select an ultra-low-power Wi-Fi + BLE 5.x MCU/module, likely ESP32-C3/ESP32-C6-class or similar, with 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n and BLE 5.x.
  3. Add a digital temperature/RH sensor over I²C, such as Sensirion SHT4x/SHTC3-class, with datasheet-confirmed pull-ups and decoupling.
  4. Design USB-C 5 V default input with CC pull-downs for sink mode.
  5. Add front-end protection for consumer USB-C use:
    • ESD protection on USB-C pins
    • Reverse-current/reverse-polarity protection where applicable
    • OVP/UVLO/OCP load switch or eFuse sized for 0.5–3 A sources
    • Input capacitance per protection-device datasheet
  6. Add 3.3 V regulation sized from a full power budget, including Wi-Fi transmit current peaks.
  7. Add programming/debug access, reset/boot circuitry, status LED, and optional test points.
  8. Verify all ICs against datasheets, add required decoupling, run ERC/review until clean.
  9. Create bring-up, firmware, and regulatory documentation since the product is wireless and consumer-facing.
Once credits are restored, the first executable step should be schematic creation and datasheet-grounded part selection.
