Raspberry Shake is a Panama-based company that designs and manufactures personal seismic and infrasonic sensors, utilizing Raspberry Pi hardware.
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]
While the origins of Raspberry Shake can be traced back to Western Seismic Observatory of Panama, it evolved into an independent company in 2020 when the trademark was registered. [4]
In the years 2015 and 2016, [1] Raspberry Shake began its initial forays into the development of seismic detection software and hardware with the creation of Raspberry Shake 1D. By the end of 2017, [2] hardware and software improvements were added, resulting in the Raspberry Shake 3D Sensor, which brought the capability to capture waves vertically and horizontally. Through continuous development, the Raspberry Shake 4D [5] sensor was launched in July 2017, featuring integrated accelerometers directly on the board.
In early 2018, the Raspberry Boom [6] [7]sensor focused on infrasonic detection was developed; that same year, technologies were combined with those of the Raspberry Shake 1D sensor to launch the Raspberry Shake & Boom, opening up possibilities for seismic and infrasonic detection in a single device.
The Raspberry Shake is a device that pairs with the Raspberry Pi to function as a personal seismograph. [8] 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. [9]
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.
