In this video I will show you how I turned a big and clunky electronics project into a rather small form factor that can easily be carried around. The project itself can call your phone and send an SMS with GPS information. The new credit card sized PCB version can do all of that while being way smaller. The reason is a 4 Layer PCB design which I will tell you all about during the video and how you can make your own. Let's get started!
