Questions

How big is the Anchor PCB?

It measures 59.3 × 24.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Anchor use?

35 parts, built around the IRLML2402TRPBF, LTST-C235KGKRKT, S2B-PH-SM4-TB(LF)(SN) and TL3315NF160Q. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Anchor KiCad files?

From the WaltTeb/BareTag_Tool_Tracker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/anchor/anchor.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/anchor/anchor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Anchor design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask WaltTeb before reusing the design.
