## PROJECT OVERVIEW Design a compact, battery-powered, IoT-connected plant monitoring PCB sensor node. The board combines WiFi/BLE connectivity, multi-sensor I2C acquisition, LiPo battery management with USB-C charging, and partially weatherproof design for outdoor/planter use. The physical form factor is a FORK (forcina) shape: a wider rectangular head section (~32×30mm) housing all the electronics, and two narrow prongs (~10×45mm each, 8mm gap between them) extending downward to form the capacitive soil moisture electrodes. Reference: the shape resembles a plant stake that is pushed into soil. I trust Flux AI's routing and placement judgment. Please apply your full expertise. The guidance below defines constraints — treat them as requirements, not suggestions. --- ## BOARD SPECIFICATIONS - Layers: 2 (Top + Bottom copper) - Dimensions: Head 32×30mm + two prongs 10×45mm (total board ~32×75mm) - PCB thickness: 1.6mm FR4 - Surface finish: ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) — MANDATORY Reason: the soil prong traces must be gold-plated for corrosion resistance - Min trace width: 0.15mm signal, 0.5mm power - Min clearance: 0.15mm - Soldermask: GREEN on both sides Exception: NO soldermask on the interdigital soil electrode traces on the prongs (the copper must be fully exposed to contact the soil) - Via: min hole 0.3mm, pad 0.6mm - 4× M2.5 mounting holes (2.7mm drill, 5mm annular copper ring) at corners of head section - Conformal coating keep-out zones: SHT40-AD1F-R2 (U8), VEML7700 (U2), soil electrode traces on prongs, USB-C connector J1 --- ## COMPLETE BILL OF MATERIALS ### Active ICs **U1 — ESP32-C3-MINI-1** (Espressif, LCSC C2838502) - Main microcontroller: RISC-V 32-bit 160MHz, 4MB flash, 400KB RAM - WiFi 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz + BLE 5.0 - Package: SMD module 13.2×16.6×2.4mm, castellated edges - Operating voltage: 3.0–3.6V from VCC rail - I2C: SDA=GPIO8, SCL=GPIO9 - USB: D+=IO19, D-=IO18 - Status outputs: CHG_STATUS=IO2, PG_STATUS=IO3, LOAD_EN=IO4 - CRITICAL placement: antenna area (rightmost ~3mm of module) must hang over board edge OR have copper keepout zone (no copper top or bottom under antenna area). This is mandatory for RF performance. - Add 100nF + 10µF decoupling on 3V3 pin, placed within 1mm of pin **U2 — VEML7700-TT** (Vishay, LCSC C78606) - Ambient light sensor, 0.0036–120,000 lux, I2C address 0x10 - Package: ODFN-6, 2.0×2.0×0.5mm - Operating voltage: 2.5–3.6V - Current: 90µA active, 0.2µA power-down - CRITICAL placement: position at TOP EDGE of head section, centered horizontally. The sensor photodiode window (top of package) must face upward toward the case lid. A transparent PMMA optical window (Ø10mm) in the case will be positioned directly above this IC. Leave 0mm clearance to board edge on that side if possible. The VEML7700 has ±45° field of view, so alignment does not need to be perfect, but centering under the window opening is preferred. - Add 100nF decoupling on VDD, placed within 1mm **U3 — SHT40-AD1B** (Sensirion, LCSC C1550099) — INTERNAL sensor - Temperature + relative humidity sensor, I2C address 0x44 - Package: DFN-4, 1.5×1.5×0.5mm — extremely small, requires careful pad design - Operating voltage: 1.8–3.6V - Current: 3.2µA per measurement (1ms active), 0.1µA sleep - PURPOSE: measures temperature and humidity INSIDE the case (ambient reference) - CRITICAL placement: position in CENTER of head section PCB, far from all heat sources. Minimum 8mm distance from BQ24090 (U6) and ME6211 (LDO1). The SHT40 chip surface IS the sensor — the hygroscopic polymer capacitor is on the top face of the IC. It must NOT be covered by conformal coating. However, for the internal sensor (U3), it can be in a slightly ventilated cavity inside the case to measure internal temperature drift compensation. - Add 100nF decoupling on VDD within 1mm **U8 — SHT40-AD1F-R2** (Sensirion, LCSC C5155469) — EXTERNAL sensor - Same electrical specs as U3 (SHT40 family), I2C address 0x44 - Package: DFN-4 with integrated PTFE filter cap for dust/water protection The filter cap allows vapor to reach the sensor while blocking liquid water - PURPOSE: measures EXTERNAL ambient temperature and humidity (outside the case) - CRITICAL placement: position on the SIDE or BOTTOM EDGE of head section. This sensor must be accessible from outside the case through a ventilated chamber (labyrinth vent structure in case design). It must NOT be covered by conformal coating. The sensor's filter cap must face the vent opening direction. Minimum 10mm distance from BQ24090 and LDO thermal zone. - Connected via TCA9548A channel 1 (see below) — NOT directly on main I2C bus **U4 — FDC1004DGST** (Texas Instruments, LCSC C266239) - 4-channel capacitance-to-digital converter, I2C address 0x50 - Package: WSON-8, 2.0×2.0×0.8mm - Operating voltage: 3.3V - Current: 750µA active, 300nA shutdown - PURPOSE: reads capacitance of interdigital PCB traces immersed in soil. The IC itself is NOT the soil sensor — it measures the capacitance of external electrodes. CIN1 and CIN2 connect to the interdigital copper traces on the prong section. - CRITICAL placement: position at BOTTOM of head section, closest to prong entry point. This minimizes trace length to CIN1/CIN2, reducing parasitic capacitance pickup. Keep CIN1 and CIN2 traces short, wide (0.3mm+), shielded by GND guard rings on both sides of each trace. Route CIN1/CIN2 on the SAME layer (Bottom preferred) as the interdigital electrodes to avoid via parasitic capacitance. - SHLD1 and SHLD2 pins connect to GND (guard shield) - Add 100nF decoupling on VDD within 1mm **U5 — TCA9548A** (Texas Instruments, LCSC C130026) — NEW COMPONENT vs previous schema - 8-channel I2C multiplexer, I2C address 0x70 - Package: SOIC-24 or TSSOP-24, select smallest available footprint - Operating voltage: 1.65–5.5V - PURPOSE: MANDATORY to resolve I2C address conflict between U3 and U8, both of which have fixed address 0x44. Without this IC the two SHT40 sensors will collide on the bus and produce corrupt readings. Channel 0: connects to U3 (SHT40 internal) Channel 1: connects to U8 (SHT40 external) Main I2C bus (from ESP32): connects to TCA9548A upstream SDA/SCL - Add 100nF decoupling on VCC within 1mm - Reset pin (active low): connect to VCC via 10kΩ (always enabled) OR connect to a GPIO for software reset capability **U6 — BQ24090DGQT** (Texas Instruments, LCSC C179663) - Single-cell LiPo/Li-ion battery charger, input 4.5–6.5V, charge voltage 4.2V - Package: DSBGA-9 (wafer-level), extremely small ~1.6×1.6mm - CRITICAL THERMAL: this IC dissipates up to 0.5W during charging. Place a copper thermal pad area ≥1cm² on BOTH layers under the IC. Add minimum 4 thermal vias (0.3mm hole, 0.6mm pad) under thermal exposed pad. Keep this IC at MAXIMUM distance from both SHT40 sensors. Thermal isolation: route at least 10mm of thin trace (~0.2mm) between BQ24090 thermal zone and any temperature-sensitive component. - ISET pin: connect to R3 (1.8kΩ) to set Icharge ≈ 494mA (C/4 for 2000mAh) - PRETERM pin: connect to R2 (5.1kΩ — keep existing value, sets termination threshold) - ISET2 pin: connect per datasheet recommendation (typically VSYS or VBAT) - TS pin: connect to R4 (10kΩ NTC thermistor or static resistor to GND) If using static resistor: 10kΩ to GND disables thermal protection RECOMMENDATION: add NTC 10kΩ B=3950 near battery for thermal protection - CHG# (open drain): connect to LED_RED via 330Ω to VCC, and to U1 IO2 via 10kΩ - PG# (open drain): connect to LED_GREEN via 330Ω to VCC, and to U1 IO3 via 10kΩ - OUT pin: VBAT rail (to battery positive and to LDO input) **LDO1 — ME6211C33M5G-N** (Nanjing Micro One, LCSC C82942) - LDO regulator, Vin 2.0–6.0V → Vout 3.3V fixed - Package: SOT-23-5, 2.9×1.6mm - Quiescent current: 55µA (higher than MCP1700, but adequate) - Dropout: 300mV @ 100mA - CE pin: connect to VCC (always enabled) or to ESP32 GPIO for power gating - THERMAL NOTE: at full system load (~100mA), dissipation = (Vbat-3.3)×0.1 ≈ 40–90mW. Low risk, but keep minimum 5mm from SHT40 sensors. - Vin decoupling: C2 1µF + C1 100nF - Vout decoupling: C3 10µF (electrolytic or ceramic) + additional 100nF ceramic **O1 — SI2301CDS** (Vishay, LCSC C10487) - P-channel MOSFET, Vds=-20V, Id=-3A, Vgs(th)=-0.4V typ - Package: SOT-23, 2.9×1.6mm - PURPOSE: load switch between VBAT and LDO1 input, controlled by ESP32 This allows the ESP32 to cut power to all sensors during deep sleep for maximum battery life (if desired — optional feature) - Gate connection: 10kΩ pull-up resistor from Gate to VBAT (MOSFET OFF by default) + GPIO IO4 from ESP32 drives Gate to GND through 1kΩ series resistor to turn ON IMPORTANT: this was missing from previous schema — gate must NOT float. Series 1kΩ on gate limits gate charge current and protects GPIO. Pull-up 10kΩ to VBAT ensures MOSFET stays OFF during ESP32 boot/reset. - Source: VBAT (battery positive) - Drain: LDO1 VIN ### Connectors and Passive Components **J1 — USBC_C165948** (USB Type-C SMD receptacle, LCSC C165948) - USB-C connector for 5V power input and ESP32 programming - Position: TOP EDGE of head section (accessible when device is in soil) - VBUS pins → BQ24090 IN (via R_protection 1Ω/1A fuse resistor optional) - D+ → ESP32 IO19, D- → ESP32 IO18 - GND → GND plane - All CC pins → GND via 5.1kΩ resistors (CC1: R_CC1 5.1kΩ, CC2: R_CC2 5.1kΩ) These are MANDATORY for USB-C to deliver 5V (tells charger it is a sink device) WITHOUT these resistors the USB-C port will NOT receive power from modern chargers. **U_BAT — LiPo 2000mAh connector** - Use JST PH 2.0mm 2-pin connector (standard LiPo connector) - Position: head section, easily accessible for battery replacement - Polarity protection: the SI2301 load switch also provides polarity protection if wired with Source=Drain correctly (P-FET body diode blocks reverse current) **R1 — 4.7kΩ ±1% 0402** (CHANGED from 5.1kΩ in previous schema) - I2C SDA pull-up: connects VCC to SDA bus - Reason for change: 4.7kΩ is the standard I2C pull-up value per NXP I2C spec. 5.1kΩ causes slower rise times at 400kHz fast-mode, risking data errors. **R2 — 4.7kΩ ±1% 0402** (CHANGED from 5.1kΩ in previous schema) - I2C SCL pull-up: connects VCC to SCL bus **R3 — 1.8kΩ ±1% 0402** - BQ24090 ISET: sets charge current to ~494mA (Ichg = 890/R3) **R4 — 10kΩ 0402** - BQ24090 TS pin bias or NTC resistor (see BQ24090 notes above) **R5, R6 — 5.1kΩ 0402** (NEW — not in previous schema) - USB-C CC1 and CC2 pull-down resistors (MANDATORY for USB-C power delivery) **R7 — 10kΩ 0402** (NEW) - SI2301 Gate pull-up to VBAT **R8 — 1kΩ 0402** (NEW) - SI2301 Gate series resistor from ESP32 GPIO IO4 **R9, R10 — 330Ω 0402** (NEW) - Current limiting for LED_RED and LED_GREEN (status LEDs) **C1 — 100nF 0402 X5R** — LDO Vin decoupling **C2 — 1µF 0402 X5R** — LDO Vin bulk **C3 — 10µF 0805 X5R** — LDO Vout bulk **C4 — 100nF 0402** — ESP32 VCC decoupling **C5–C9 — 100nF 0402** — Per-IC VCC decoupling (one per U2/U3/U4/U5/U8) **C10 — 4.7µF 0402** — BQ24090 IN bypass **C11 — 4.7µF 0402** — BQ24090 OUT bypass **LED1 — Green 0402** — USB power good / charging complete indicator **LED2 — Red 0402** — Charging in progress indicator **BTN1 — 3×3mm SMD tactile switch** (optional, recommended) - Connected between ESP32 EN pin and GND, with 100nF debounce cap - Allows manual reset without USB for field use --- ## ELECTRICAL NETS SUMMARY | Net Name | Description | Connected to | |----------|-------------|--------------| | VBUS_5V | USB-C 5V input | J1 VBUS, BQ24090 IN | | VBAT | Battery voltage 3.2–4.2V | U_BAT+, BQ24090 OUT, O1 Source | | VCC | Regulated 3.3V | LDO1 OUT, all IC VDD/VCC pins | | GND | Common ground | All GND pins, copper pour both layers | | SDA | I2C data (main bus) | ESP32 IO8, TCA9548A SDA_A, VEML7700 SDA, FDC1004 SDA, R1 pull-up | | SCL | I2C clock (main bus) | ESP32 IO9, TCA9548A SCL_A, VEML7700 SCL, FDC1004 SCL, R2 pull-up | | SDA_CH0 | I2C mux channel 0 | TCA9548A SD0, SHT40-internal SDA | | SCL_CH0 | I2C mux channel 0 | TCA9548A SC0, SHT40-internal SCL | | SDA_CH1 | I2C mux channel 1 | TCA9548A SD1, SHT40-external SDA | | SCL_CH1 | I2C mux channel 1 | TCA9548A SC1, SHT40-external SCL | | SOIL_A | Soil electrode set A | FDC1004 CIN1, interdigital traces prong (even fingers) | | SOIL_B | Soil electrode set B | FDC1004 CIN2, interdigital traces prong (odd fingers) | | USB_DP | USB D+ | J1 D+, ESP32 IO19 | | USB_DM | USB D- | J1 D-, ESP32 IO18 | | CHG_STATUS | Charger status | BQ24090 CHG#, LED_RED, ESP32 IO2 | | PG_STATUS | Power good | BQ24090 PG#, LED_GREEN, ESP32 IO3 | | LOAD_EN | Load switch control | ESP32 IO4 via R8, SI2301 Gate | --- ## PARASITIC AND SIGNAL INTEGRITY CONSTRAINTS Please consider the following parasitic effects when placing components and routing: **I2C bus parasitics:** The I2C specification allows maximum 400pF total bus capacitance. With 4 devices on the main bus (ESP32, VEML7700, FDC1004, TCA9548A) plus the multiplexed sub-buses, keep total SDA/SCL trace length under 50mm. Route SDA and SCL as a parallel differential pair with 0.15mm clearance between them. Do not route I2C traces near switching power lines or under the antenna keep-out zone. **FDC1004 CIN1/CIN2 parasitic capacitance — CRITICAL:** Any stray capacitance on CIN1/CIN2 traces directly offsets the soil measurement. Each picofarad of parasitic capacitance reduces measurement range. Requirements: - Keep CIN1/CIN2 trace length under 15mm from FDC1004 pins to prong entry point - Route on Bottom layer only, no layer changes (vias add ~0.5pF each) - Add copper guard ring (connected to SHLD1/SHLD2=GND) completely surrounding each CIN trace on the same layer — this shields the trace from external fields - Maintain 0.5mm spacing between CIN1 trace and CIN2 trace (and their guard rings) - The interdigital soil electrodes on the prongs: finger width 0.8mm, gap 0.8mm, finger length 25mm, approximately 15–20 alternating fingers per electrode These traces have NO soldermask (fully exposed copper, ENIG finish) **BQ24090 switching node:** The BQ24090 is a linear charger, NOT a switching regulator, so there is no switching noise. However, it dissipates power as heat. The primary constraint is thermal, not EMI. Keep input/output bypass capacitors (C10, C11) within 2mm. **ESP32-C3 antenna zone:** Mandatory keepout: no copper, no traces, no vias, no components in the area directly beneath and 3mm around the ESP32 module antenna. The antenna is on the left side of the module. Orient the module so the antenna faces toward the top or side edge of the board. **Power supply decoupling placement:** All 100nF decoupling capacitors MUST be placed within 1mm of their associated VCC/VDD pin. The parasitic inductance of a longer connection nullifies the effect. Place decoupling on the same layer as the IC where possible. The 10µF bulk cap (C3) can be up to 5mm from the LDO output. **Thermal gradients and temperature sensor placement:** The two SHT40 sensors measure temperature via an on-chip bandgap reference. Self-heating of nearby components creates a thermal offset error. Known heat sources on this board and their typical power dissipation: - BQ24090: up to 500mW during USB charging - ME6211 LDO: 40–90mW at typical load - ESP32-C3: 15–25mW in active mode (WiFi), 0.02mW in deep sleep Required minimum distances from any SHT40: - From BQ24090: ≥12mm (critical) - From ME6211 LDO: ≥8mm - From ESP32-C3: ≥5mm (less critical — low dissipation) --- ## THERMAL MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS The device will be used outdoors in ambient temperatures from -10°C to +50°C. The case is a sealed or semi-sealed plastic enclosure approximately 35×35×80mm. Internal temperature rise above ambient must be kept below +8°C during USB charging. **BQ24090 thermal design:** - Thermal pad (exposed pad on DSBGA package): connect to copper area on both layers - Top layer: copper fill area ≥ 1cm² directly under and around IC - Bottom layer: mirrored copper fill area ≥ 1cm² connected via thermal vias - Minimum 4 thermal vias under pad: 0.3mm drill, 0.6mm pad, evenly distributed - These thermal vias conduct heat to bottom layer copper which acts as a heatsink - In the case design (outside scope of PCB): a thermally conductive pad between the PCB bottom copper and the plastic case back wall improves heat transfer **ME6211 LDO thermal design:** - Low dissipation at typical 50–80mA load: (4.0V - 3.3V) × 0.075A ≈ 52mW - This is well within SOT-23 package limits (max ~300mW at 25°C ambient) - Standard copper pour around package is sufficient - No additional thermal vias required unless load consistently exceeds 150mA **Fire safety note:** At no point should any trace carry more than its rated current. Power traces (VBAT, VCC) should be minimum 0.5mm for up to 500mA. The USB VBUS trace from J1 to BQ24090 carries up to 500mA — use 0.8mm trace. Add a polyfuse (PTC resettable fuse) 500mA on VBUS line between J1 and BQ24090 for short-circuit protection (LCSC C178886, 0805 package). --- ## WEATHERPROOFING DESIGN GUIDANCE (for PCB layout decisions) The board will be coated with conformal coating after assembly, EXCEPT: 1. SHT40-AD1F-R2 (U8 external sensor) — the PTFE filter cap must remain uncoated 2. VEML7700 (U2) — photodiode window must remain uncoated and unobstructed 3. Interdigital soil traces on prongs — must remain bare copper (ENIG) for soil contact 4. USB-C connector J1 — coating would block the port 5. Battery JST connector — coating would block connector mating For the PCB layout, implement the following to support weatherproofing: - Place U8 (SHT40 external) and U2 (VEML7700) in designated "coating exclusion zones" clearly marked on the silkscreen layer with dashed boundary lines - Add silkscreen labels: "NO COAT" next to U8 and U2 - Add silkscreen label: "EXPOSED — SOIL ELECTRODES" on the prong traces - The board outline on the prong section must have no sharp corners — use R1mm rounded corners where prongs meet the head section to prevent cracking when the device is pushed into soil --- ## INTERDIGITAL SOIL ELECTRODE SPECIFICATION (prong section) The bottom two prongs of the board ARE the soil moisture sensor. Trace parameters for the interdigital (comb/fork) capacitive electrodes: - Layer: Bottom copper - Trace width: 0.8mm - Gap between adjacent fingers: 0.8mm - Number of fingers per electrode: 16 (8 connected to CIN1, 8 to CIN2, alternating) - Finger length: 25mm - Connection point: at the top of the prongs where they join the head section - Guard ring: GND copper guard ring around the entire interdigital pattern on Bottom layer - NO soldermask over any part of the interdigital pattern - The two electrodes (SOIL_A and SOIL_B) must be symmetrically distributed so that a uniform electric field forms between them when immersed in soil - Add stitching GND vias around the prong perimeter every 8mm --- ## SILKSCREEN AND REFERENCE DESIGNATORS All components must have visible reference designators on the silkscreen layer. Minimum text size 0.6mm height. Add the following board information: - Top left: "SmartPlant v1.0" - Top right: "riccardo.schiavo.1" - Date code placeholder: "DATE: ______" - Near J1: PIN 1 marker and "USB-C POWER + FLASH" - Near U8: "EXTERNAL SENSOR — NO COAT" - Near prong junction: "SOIL ELECTRODES — NO MASK — ENIG" - Near ESP32 antenna area: keepout boundary marker --- ## I2C DEVICE MAP (for firmware reference) | Address | Device | Bus | Notes | |---------|--------|-----|-------| | 0x10 | VEML7700 (U2) | Main I2C | Direct connection | | 0x50 | FDC1004 (U4) | Main I2C | Direct connection | | 0x70 | TCA9548A (U5) | Main I2C | I2C multiplexer | | 0x44 ch.0 | SHT40 internal (U3) | TCA9548A channel 0 | Via mux | | 0x44 ch.1 | SHT40 external (U8) | TCA9548A channel 1 | Via mux | --- ## FINAL NOTES FOR FLUX AI I trust Flux AI's judgment on: - Exact component placement optimization within the constraints above - Via placement and layer assignments for non-critical signals - Polygon fill strategy and via stitching density - Any minor trace re-routing needed to clear DRC errors - Silkscreen label exact positioning to avoid overlap with pads Please prioritize in this order: 1. Electrical correctness (no DRC errors, no antenna violations) 2. Thermal management (BQ24090 copper, SHT40 distance from heat) 3. Signal integrity (FDC1004 CIN guard rings, I2C trace length) 4. Manufacturability (SMT assembly friendly, no isolated pads, no acute angles) 5. Physical compactness within the fork shape outline Generate a complete 2-layer PCB ready for Gerber export to PCBWay.

M12 cable tester PCB for verifying straight-through 1-to-1 pin continuity between M12 connector types, with four LED indicator channels labeled by standard wire colors: pin 1 brown, pin 2 white, pin 3 blue, pin 4 black.

Datasheet-driven MFRC522 RFID reader PCB intended to replicate RC522 module behavior at 13.56 MHz with a 3.3 V nominal supply, 2.5 V to 3.3 V operating range, and RC522-style 8-pin host header compatibility. The MFRC522 datasheet is the authoritative source for pin usage, power rail relationships, oscillator requirements, reset/IRQ handling, and antenna interface topology. AVDD, DVDD, and TVDD must be tied to the same 3.3 V rail; PVDD must be equal to or lower than DVDD; unused MFIN must be tied to SVDD or PVSS; SVDD must be tied to a valid supply if not used independently. The design must use a 27.12 MHz crystal meeting CL 10 pF and ESR <= 100 ohms, local 100 nF decoupling on each MFRC522 supply grouping plus bulk capacitance, and an RF front-end based on the MFRC522 application diagram and reference reader matching/tuning network. PCB priorities are short crystal and RF connections, compact placement of decoupling capacitors at supply pins, solid ground reference, and protected antenna region with minimal digital routing through the RF area.

Stage 3 layout constraints (placement and routing guidance): - Connector placement strategy: - Place H1 and H2 first to lock the shield mechanical interface; enforce 1000 mil spacing. - Place J1 and any DC005 input at the board edge for easy access. - Designated power area planning: - Group U1, U2, and C7 near the 5V entry point; keep high-current 5V and regulator loops short. - Use wide copper for +5V and any servo supply; stitch GND around power section. - Antenna keepout boundaries: - Place J2 (ESP-01S socket) at a board edge with the antenna facing outward. - Enforce a top-and-bottom copper keepout in the antenna region; keep noisy power traces away.

Entrada de Corriente y Fusible Qué hace: Es el punto de partida. La electricidad de 120V entra a tu prototipo. El fusible es el guardián de seguridad principal. Dónde se conecta: El Cable de Alimentación se conecta al enchufe de la pared. Dentro de la caja, el cable VIVO (el que lleva la potencia, usualmente negro o rojo) se conecta a una patita del Portafusible. Dónde termina: La otra patita del Portafusible es ahora la salida segura del cable VIVO. 2. Fuente de Poder (HLK-PM01) Qué hace: Es el "transformador" que alimenta al cerebro. Convierte los peligrosos 120V en 5V seguros. Dónde se conecta: Sus dos pines de entrada (AC) se conectan a los cables VIVO (justo después del fusible) y NEUTRO de la entrada de corriente. Dónde termina: Sus dos pines de salida (DC) entregan 5V. El pin +5V se conecta al pin VIN del ESP32. El pin GND (tierra) se conecta a un pin GND del ESP32. 3. Sensor de Voltaje (ZMPT101B) Qué hace: "Observa" el voltaje de la línea de 120V de forma segura. Dónde se conecta: Sus dos pines de entrada (AC) se conectan igual que la fuente de poder: al VIVO (después del fusible) y al NEUTRO. Dónde termina: Su pin de salida de señal (Aout o Signal) se conecta a un pin analógico del ESP32 (por ejemplo, GPIO35). También necesita alimentación, así que sus pines VCC y GND se conectan a los pines 3.3V y GND del ESP32. 4. Sensor de Corriente (WCS1600) Qué hace: "Siente" cuánta corriente (amperios) está pasando hacia la licuadora. Dónde se conecta: El cable VIVO de 120V (el que viene del fusible) pasa a través del agujero blanco del sensor. No se conecta eléctricamente, solo pasa por en medio.

copilot Entiendo que deseas diseñar un oscilador utilizando el chip 555. Aquí están algunos pasos que puedes seguir para hacer esto. Conecta el pin 1 (GND) del IC 555 a la terminal negativa de tu fuente de alimentación (0V). Conecta el pin 8 (VCC) del IC 555 a la terminal positiva de tu fuente de alimentación (11V). Conecta la resistencia de 10kΩ (R1) entre el pin 8 (VCC) y el pin 7 (DISCHARGE) del 555. Conecta tu potenciómetro de 100kΩ (R2) entre el pin 7 (DISCHARGE) y el pin 6 (THRESHOLD) del 555. Junta los pines 2 (TRIGGER) y 6 (THRESHOLD) juntos y conecta los pines unidos al lado negativo de tu condensador de 10nF (C). Conecta el lado positivo del condensador de 10nF (C) a VCC (el pin 8). Conecta el pin 4 (RESET) al VCC si no quieres usar la función de reset. De lo contrario, puedes conectar una señal de reset aquí. Conecta el pin 3 (OUTPUT) del 555 al terminal positivo de tu resistencia de 470Ω. Conecta el otro terminal de la resistencia a tierra. El condensador de 10uF debe estar conectado en paralelo a la alimentación (entre VCC y GND) para suavizar cualquier ruido en la fuente de alimentación de 11V. Te sugiero que experimentes con el valor del potenciómetro (R2) hasta que consigas el Duty Cycle deseado. Por lo general, es posible cambiar la frecuencia del pulso y ajustar el Duty Cycle utilizando este control. Si, después de realizar estas conexiones y ajustes, aún no puedes obtener el Duty Cycle deseado, podría ser indicativo de que los valores de resistencia y condensador que tienes no son adecuados para tu rango de frecuencia y Duty Cycle objetivo. Para que obtengamos un Duty Cycle del 75%, necesitamos usar el chip 555 en modo astable y debemos calcular los valores de R1 y R2 (resistencia total de carga y descarga respectivamente) que nos ayude a conseguir esto. El tiempo de alta (T_high) y el tiempo de baja del ciclo (T_low) de la oscilación salen determinados por R1, R2, y C (el condensador). Se pueden usar las siguientes fórmulas para calcularlos: T_high = 0.693 * (R1 + R2) * C T_low = 0.693 * R2 * C Duty cycle = ( T_high ) / ( T_high + T_low ) Para un Duty Cycle de 0.75: Estableceremos R1 como la resistencia de 10 kilohmios que se proporcionó. Con el potenciómetro de 100 kilohmios como R2, podemos variarlo para ajustar el Duty Cycle según necesitemos hasta que se llegue a la relación deseada. Considerando que el condensador C es el condensador de 10 nF que se proporcionó, anteriores declaraciones son bajo supuesto que el tiempo de operación (T = T_high + T_low) caiga en un rango aceptable. Para el esquemático: Conecta VCC de tu 555 al terminal positivo de tu fuente de voltaje de 11V y GND a tierra. Conecta los pines 2 (TRIGGER) y 6 (THRESHOLD) juntos y al lado negativo de tu condensador de 10nF. Conecta el lado positivo del condensador a VCC. Conecta el pin 3 (OUTPUT) al terminal positivo de tu resistencia de 470 ohmios. Conecta el otro terminal de la resistencia a tierra. Conecta tu resistencia de 10 kilohmios entre VCC y los pines 2 y 6 del 555. Finalmente, conecta tu potenciómetro entre los pines 2 y 6 y el pin 7 (DISCHARGE) del 555. El condensador de 10uF debería estar conectado en paralelo a la alimentación para suavizar cualquier ruido en la alimentación de 11V. Estas son mis suposiciones y pasos sugeridos pero recuerda variar el potenciómetro hasta conseguir el Duty Cycle deseado en caso de no conseguirlo de forma inmediata. Si por alguna razón no puedes conseguir el Duty Cycle de 75%, es posible que las resistencias y condensadores proporcionados no sean los adecuados para el rango de frecuencia y Duty Cycle deseados. En tal caso, puede que tengas que utilizar otros valores de componentes.
