An effective emergency device for life-or-death situations
- With the press of a button (or with a pulse rate spike), the device is activated, retrieving the user's current location - The device then sends this location to relevant authorities and family members via a series of SMS messages - Each message has a Google maps link that helps in tracking # Technology Stack

I protect2.0: common questions
What microcontroller does the I protect2.0 use?
The I protect2.0 is built around the ATmega328P-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the I protect2.0 PCB?
The I protect2.0 measures 49.5 × 21.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the I protect2.0?
30 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the I protect2.0 design files?
From the PsVenom/i-Protect repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the I protect2.0 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with PsVenom. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the I protect2.0 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
