Ani kb: common questions
What microcontroller does the Ani kb use?
The Ani kb is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Ani kb PCB?
The Ani kb measures 355.5 × 138 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Ani kb?
158 components, from 10 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Ani kb design files?
From the Anayjain1129/ani-kb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Ani kb design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Anayjain1129. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Ani kb without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
