Today I finished all the schematic fixes for my Microgrid Home Energy Monitor! Replaced the placeholder USB-C connector with a proper USB_C_Receptacle_USB2.0_16P and added CC1/CC2 pull-down resistors (5.1kΩ) so the board actually receives power
Added decoupling caps on the AMS1117 voltage regulator (10µF + 100nF on both input and output)
Added decoupling caps on the ESP32 VDD pin to prevent random resets during WiFi transmission
Added Boot and Reset buttons so I can flash firmware
Added I2C pull-up resistors for the OLED display
Added a 6-pin programming header for UART flashing
Added a connector for the ZMPT101B voltage sensor
I’m mostly searching up much of this online and relying on AI to help me wire and get diagrams if anyone has experience in KICAD pls let me know if this looks good and how I can improve thanks!
