+  - Light sleep: ~0.8mA
+  - Deep sleep: ~10µA
+- **Peak Current:** Up to 500mA during WiFi transmission
+- **Power Supply:** Must be stable and well-regulated
+
+### Pin Configuration
+
+- **38 pins total** (as per our symbol)
+- **VDD pins:** Multiple (1, 3, 14, 21, 22, 27, 28, 33, 42)
+- **GND pins:** Multiple (2, 4, 13, 15, 20, 23, 26, 29, 34, 38, 40)
+- **EN pin:** Enable pin (active high)
+- **GPIO pins:** Various functions
+
+### Critical Design Requirements
+
+#### 1. Power Supply Decoupling
+
+**Per ESP32 Datasheet:**
+- **Each VDD pin requires a decoupling capacitor**
+- **Recommended:** 100nF ceramic capacitor per VDD pin
+- **Additional:** 10µF capacitor near the module (bulk capacitor)
+- **Placement:** As close as possible to VDD pins
+
+**Our Design:**
+- ✅ C5-C13: 100nF capacitors for each VDD pin (9 capacitors)
+- ✅ C2: 10µF output capacitor from regulator (bulk capacitor)
+- ✅ C4: 100nF output decoupling from regulator
+
+**Verification:** Our design matches datasheet requirements.
+
+#### 2. Enable (EN) Pin
+
+- **EN pin:** Must be pulled HIGH for normal operation
+- **Pull-up resistor:** 10kΩ recommended
+- **Reset button:** Can be connected to EN pin (active low reset)
+
+**Our Design:**
+- ✅ R3: 10kΩ pull-up resistor on EN pin
+- ✅ SW1: Reset button connected to EN pin
+- ✅ Correct configuration
+
+#### 3. Boot Mode (GPIO0)
+
+- **GPIO0:** Boot mode selection
+- **HIGH (3.3V):** Normal boot (run from flash)
+- **LOW (GND):** Download mode (for flashing)
+- **Pull-up resistor:** 10kΩ recommended
+
+**Our Design:**
+- ✅ R4: 10kΩ pull-up resistor on GPIO0
+- ✅ SW2: Boot button connected to GPIO0
+- ✅ Correct configuration
+
+#### 4. Crystal Oscillator
+
+- **External crystal:** 40MHz (internal to module)
+- **No external components needed** (handled by module)
+
+**Our Design:**
+- ✅ No action needed - crystal is internal to ESP32-WROOM-32E module
+
+#### 5. Flash Memory
+
+- **Flash:** Internal to ESP32-WROOM-32E module
+- **No external flash needed**
+
+**Our Design:**
+- ✅ No action needed - flash is internal
+
+#### 6. Antenna
+
+- **WiFi/Bluetooth antenna:** Internal PCB antenna on ESP32-WROOM-32E
+- **No external antenna connector needed** (unless using ESP32-WROOM-32UE variant)
+
+**Our Design:**
+- ✅ Using ESP32-WROOM-32E (with internal antenna)
+- ✅ No external antenna needed
+
+### Power Supply Design Verification
+
+#### Regulator Requirements
+
+**ESP32 Requirements:**
+- Input: 3.0V to 3.6V (3.3V typical)
+- Current: Up to 500mA peak
+- Ripple: <50mV recommended
+
+**Our Regulator (AMS1117-3.3):**
+- Output: 3.3V fixed
+- Max current: 1A (sufficient for ESP32)
+- Input: 5V from J1
+- Output capacitors: 10µF + 100nF (adequate)
+
+**Verification:** ✅ AMS1117-3.3 meets ESP32 requirements
+
+#### Decoupling Capacitor Placement
+
+**Datasheet Recommendation:**
+- 100nF ceramic capacitor at each VDD pin
+- Place as close as possible to the pin
+- Use short, wide traces
+
+**Our Design:**
+- C5-C13: 100nF capacitors for 9 VDD pins
+- Placement: Should be close to VDD pins on PCB layout
+- Package: 0805 (good for placement near pins)
+
+**Verification:** ✅ Correct number and value of capacitors
+
+### GPIO Pin Usage in Our Design
+
+| GPIO | Function | Usage in Design |
+|------|----------|----------------|
+| GPIO0 | Boot mode | SW2 (boot button), R4 (pull-up) |
+| GPIO1 | UART TX | Programming header (J2 Pin 3) |
+| GPIO2 | LED control | LED1 (WiFi status) |
+| GPIO3 | UART RX | Programming header (J2 Pin 4) |
+| GPIO4 | LED control | LED2 (BLE status) |
+| GPIO16 | UART RX | Level shifter (U3 Pin 2) - AC communication |
+| GPIO17 | UART TX | Level shifter (U3 Pin 1) - AC communication |
+| EN | Enable | SW1 (reset button), R3 (pull-up) |
+
+### Thermal Considerations
+
+- **Operating Temperature:** -40°C to +85°C
+- **Power Dissipation:** Up to ~1.65W (3.3V × 500mA)
+- **Heat sinking:** Not typically required for normal operation
+- **PCB layout:** Ensure good ground plane for heat dissipation
+
+### RF Performance
+
+- **WiFi:** 2.4GHz (802.11 b/g/n)
+- **Bluetooth:** BLE 4.2
+- **Antenna:** Internal PCB antenna (ESP32-WROOM-32E)
+- **Range:** ~100m (WiFi), ~50m (BLE) - depends on environment
+
+### Design Checklist
+
+- [x] Power supply: 3.3V regulated (AMS1117-3.3)
+- [x] Decoupling: 100nF at each VDD pin (C5-C13)
+- [x] Bulk capacitor: 10µF near module (C2)
+- [x] EN pin: Pull-up resistor (R3) and reset button (SW1)
+- [x] GPIO0: Pull-up resistor (R4) and boot button (SW2)

+- [x] Power traces: Adequate width for current (500mA peak)
+
+### PCB Layout Recommendations
+
+1. **Place decoupling capacitors (C5-C13) as close as possible to VDD pins**
+2. **Use wide power traces** (minimum 0.5mm for 500mA)
+3. **Implement ground plane** on one or both layers
+4. **Keep digital and analog sections separated**
+5. **Route RF section carefully** (though antenna is internal)
+6. **Place bulk capacitor (C2) near ESP32 module**
+
+### Additional Notes
+
+- **Flash Programming:** Via UART (GPIO1/GPIO3) or OTA
+- **Reset:** Can be triggered via EN pin (active low) or power cycle
+- **Boot Mode:** Controlled by GPIO0 state at reset
+- **Deep Sleep:** Can reduce power to ~10µA (useful for battery applications)
