Earth:Raspberry Shake
Raspberry Shake is a Panama-based company that designs and manufactures personal seismic and infrasonic sensors, utilizing Raspberry Pi hardware.
History
Raspberry Shake was developed in the Chiriquí province under the Western Seismic Observatory of Panama[1][2] which creates hardware and software for tectonic phenomena measurement.[3]
The founder of Raspberry Shake, seismologist Branden Christensen,[4] conceived the idea of a personal seismograph during his tenure at Colgate University.
Technology
The Raspberry Shake is a device that pairs with the Raspberry Pi to function as a personal seismograph.[5] It incorporates a geophone which converts ground movements into electrical signals. An additional board amplifies and digitizes this signal, which is then processed by the Raspberry Pi.[6]
The Raspberry Shake utilizes software similar to that used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). As technology, particularly mini-computers like the Raspberry Pi, has evolved, the company introduced additional devices, including the sensor "Raspberry Shake 1D" with different detection capabilities.[7][8]
