Actions in Flux
Let's start by structuring the schematic.
  1. Open the project in Flux.
  2. Find and place the STM32F4 microcontroller on the canvas.
  3. Search for each sensor and place them according to the layout strategy.
  4. Add the BQ24040 BMS and regulators next to the power source location.
  5. Begin wiring components based on the given connection definitions.
  6. Place and wire the pogo pin connector appropriately.
To assist further, please ensure you are logged in to Flux and can follow through the instructions as I'm not able to directly manipulate the interface from here.
Additional Specific Steps
Make sure to double-check the connections:
Power Management Connections:
  • Connect the Lithium battery to the input of BQ24040.
  • Tap into BQ24040 output terminals to the 3.3V, 1.8V, and 5V voltage regulators respectively.
MCU Connections:
  • For I2C: Group connections of SDA and SCL lines to respective sensors.
  • For SPI: Correctly map MOSI, MISO, SCLK, and CS lines.
  • For Analog: Ensure analog inputs are wired as described.
Other Critical Connections:
  • Ensure UART TX and RX connections are correctly made to the eSIM (SIM7070G).
  • Check each sensor's power, ground, and communication lines.
Follow through these detailed phases within Flux, and you'll construct the required schematic accurately. If you need any additional assistance or troubleshooting, let me know!
