Overview

I protect2.0 is an open-source printed circuit board by PsVenom, from the PsVenom/i-Protect repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 49.5 × 21.6 mm with 30 parts on 45 nets, routed with 224 tracks and 20 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, APDS-9008-020 and DS3231MZ+, with the AM2520QBC/D09 and CR1220-2 among its other parts. Its parts include 9 resistors, 8 capacitors, 3 ICs, 2 diodes and 2 connectors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

How does it work?

  • 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-Protect is powered by the ATMega328P-AU microcontroller and houses a DS-3231 RTC module, a SIM-800L compatible port, and an inbuilt pulse-rate sensor. The execution program is written entirely in Arduino.

Questions

How big is the I protect2.0 PCB?

It measures 49.5 × 21.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the I protect2.0 use?

30 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, APDS-9008-020, DS3231MZ+ and AM2520QBC/D09. 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 I protect2.0 KiCad files?

From the PsVenom/i-Protect repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is design gerber files/i-protect2.0.kicad_pcb and its schematic design gerber files/i-protect2.0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the I protect2.0 design in my own project?

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