Make Seisberry, an Open Source Seismograph #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts , tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products . Adafruit has the largest and best selection of Raspberry Pi accessories and all the code & tutorials to get you up and running in no time!

I wanted a seismic node, fully open source, with 1 to 4 components, able to record either autonomously in the field and output SEGYs, or be used as an Iris seismic station recording mini-seeds and uploading to an Iris server. I also wanted the node to run an Apache web server accessible in 1 click from anywhere in the world and displaying the last 48 hours of recorded seismic activity. The 1 component version needed to be under $100 and the 3C version under $160, to be truly accessible to schools or institutions in developing countries.

Erellaz built an open source seismograph, Seisberry, with a Raspberry 3B+, Waveshare High precision AD / AC board, geophones and wire. There’s even a fast build tutorial ! Erellaz’s build is forked from will127534’s RaspberryPi-seismograph on GitHub

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
