Questions

How big is the Cricket PCB?

It measures 73.5 × 40.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cricket use?

14 parts, built around the DFR0299, RQ6C065BCTCR and S2B-XH-A. 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 Cricket KiCad files?

From the blakej11/cricket repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Cricket.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Cricket.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cricket design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask blakej11 before reusing the design.
