Software
Programming your own routines
If you are interested in programming your own routines to visualize and process the data, we recommend using the ObSpy Python library. This is a really cool tool for exploring your Shake and doing amazing things with the seismograph and infrasound data. See also: FDSN Web Services.
All models of the Raspberry Shake, including the RS1D, RS3D, RS4D, RJAM, RBOOM and RS&BOOM use the same software.
Hardware
Full compatibility
The Raspberry Shake is compatible with several Raspberry Pi models including the Model B+, 2 Model B, 3 Model B(+), and 4 Model B.
The RS3D, RS4D, RJAM, RBOOM and RS&BOOM will work with Model B+, 2 Model B, 3 Model B. We support the 4 Model B for our non-turnkey solutions.
Geophone Sensor
Polarity for all models:
To ensure that the output signal has the correct polarity, connect the grey cable from the “+” on the geophone to the “+” on the Raspberry Shake board, the output signal will have the correct polarity.
Additional Note: The Raspberry Shake is not compatible with non-RS sensors
Micro SD Card
We strongly recommend against using consumer-grade TLC microSD cards with Raspberry Shake. Use commercial-grade (MLC) or industrial-grade (SLC) microSD cards instead. See here for more details.
Enclosures
- STANDARD: Laser Cutter and 3D Printer Source Files – (Use these to laser cut or 3D print your own Raspberry Shake RS1D, RS3D or RS4D, RBOOM or RS&BOOM Enclosure)

Experiment.
Create. Have fun!
Why not try building your own enclosure or writing an IFTTT program to trigger something after your device detects an earthquake? There is so much you can do with your Raspberry Shake!
