Questions

How big is the Tfk21-avr PCB?

It measures 76.2 × 115.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tfk21-avr use?

123 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, IS31FL3733B-TQLS4-TR, WS2812B and PRTR5V0U2X. 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 Tfk21-avr KiCad files?

From the biosmanager/tfk repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tfk21-avr/tfk21-avr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tfk21-avr design in my own project?

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