I renamed the project to USB-C WiFi BLE Environmental Node and updated the description. I also created a project specification file capturing the requirements, architecture, assumptions, and initial power budget: Project Specification.
I selected and researched likely core parts:
MCU/radio: ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-N4 — Wi‑Fi 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n + BLE 5, integrated PCB antenna, native USB pins.
Input protection candidate: MP5036AGJ-P eFuse/load switch, but its datasheet text was not accessible in this run, so wiring was not started.
Regulator: AP2114H-3.3TRG1 3.3 V / 1 A LDO; datasheet confirmed 4.7 µF input/output capacitors, EN behavior, 1 A rating, and thermal limits.
USB data ESD: USBLC6-2SC6.
VBUS ESD: TPD1E05U06DPYR.
Reset/boot buttons and status LED candidates were found.
Initial power sizing:
ESP32-C3 rail should be designed for at least 500 mA peak.
SHT40 is sub-mA during measurement, unless heater is used.
3.3 V rail target is about 510 mA peak minimum, so the 1 A AP2114 LDO has current margin, but layout copper/thermal handling will matter.
No schematic components were added or wired yet because execution credits ran out before the build step. Remaining work is to add components, wire the USB-C protection/regulator/ESP32/SHT40/support passives, create firmware notes, run schematic review, and fix any violations.
Wirelessly connects nets on schematic. Used to organize schematics and separate functional blocks. To wirelessly connect net portals, give them same designator. #portal
