Questions

How big is the AntonTenkey PCB?

It measures 313.1 × 121.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the AntonTenkey use?

174 parts, built around the 1N4148W, B3U-1000P and EG1218. 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 AntonTenkey KiCad files?

From the anton-mel/Custom-TKL repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is antonTenkey.kicad_pcb and its schematic antonTenkey.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the AntonTenkey design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
