IoT Sensor Node Design


I understand what you want: not PCB layout, but a cleaner schematic drawing where parts are visually grouped and visibly connected instead of looking like floating islands.
Right now I can help with the electrical schematic/netlist, but I cannot reliably auto-arrange the schematic canvas into a polished human-readable drawing from here. The project is electrically connected through named nets, but Flux may still show components visually separated if the schematic view has not been manually organized.
What I can do next is one of these:
  1. Read-only schematic readability audit
    I’ll report which parts only look floating versus which are actually unconnected.
  2. Create a clean schematic organization plan
    I’ll give you exact functional blocks and where each component should go:
    • Power input/regulator
    • ATmega4808 core
    • RS-485 interface
    • I2C sensors/OLED
    • Solenoid driver
    • Fan driver
    • Connectors/programming
  3. Fix real schematic connectivity issues
    If any capacitors or parts are genuinely not connected to nets, I can reconnect them electrically.
For the visual schematic cleanup, the target organization should be:
  • Left: J1/J2 RS-485 + 12 V bus input/output
  • Upper-left: AMS1117 regulator, C5, C11, 3V3 rail caps
  • Center: U1 ATmega4808 with reset, UPDI, decoupling
  • Upper-right: I2C devices: U4, IC1, OLED1, R1/R2
  • Right: RGB LED and resistors
  • Lower-right: solenoid driver Q1/D1/J4 and fan driver Q2/D2/J6
  • Bottom: programming and external sensor connectors J3/J5
Important: the “floating capacitors” you see may already be electrically connected to 3V3/GND by net names. They only look floating because visible schematic wires were not drawn between them.
If you want, I can now run the read-only schematic readability audit and list every component that visually appears isolated but is electrically connected, plus any that are truly unconnected.
