Tokn
About the Tokn PCB
Tokn is an open source PCB design by MichaelAyles, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a board, with 25 components from 7 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the ULQ2003AQDRQ1. By type, the board carries 12 resistors, 4 transistors, 4 capacitors and 1 IC.
From the project
Token-Oriented KiCad Notation (TOKN) – Compact, human-readable, KiCad Netlists for LLM prompts. Spec, benchmarks, Python SDK.
Token-Optimised KiCad Notation — a compact format for representing KiCad schematics, designed for LLM training and generation.
TOKN converts KiCad schematic files (.kicadsch) into a token-efficient representation, achieving >92% token reduction** while preserving electrical connectivity, component positions, and wire geometry. It's built on TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation).
