Questions
How big is the LEDDCDCBug PCB?
It measures 26.5 × 10.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LEDDCDCBug use?
18 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 LEDDCDCBug KiCad files?
From the SturdyPete/LEDDCDCBug repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LEDDCDCBug.kicad_pcb and its schematic LEDDCDCBug.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LEDDCDCBug design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
