Questions
What parts does the Bug radio use?
11 parts. 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 Bug radio KiCad files?
From the microresearch/notes repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bug/bug_radio/bug_radio.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bug radio design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask microresearch before reusing the design.
