We just released the 9th software update for Raspberry Shake. This update fixes a few minor bugs that were reported on the Google Group and adds some new functionality.

As before, this and all future updates are automatic and do not require you to do anything. Within a week’s time, your Raspberry Shake will automagically update.

ver.9 includes:

• Added support for GPS timing solution
• Swarm config file is regenerated if IP address changes between reboots
• More accurate assessment of NTP to eliminate possibility of false positives
• RS now better handles out-of-order restart of components (router, IP address assignment, etc.)
• Loads of under-the-hood stuff to improve overall experience
• For full details and links to updated documentation, please see the ChangeLog
• More updates with new features to come soon!

See here for the new SD card image (will be available on Monday).

Raspberry Shake has run not one, but two successful Kickstarter campaigns. Can we do it again? This March we shoot for a hattrick, bringing you a whole new sensor. Stay tuned for the official announcement later this week. And look for clues on social media: @raspishake.

Talking about new sensors, ours was on hand for the launch of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy last week:

The RaspberryShake is a great way to learn more about seismology and earthquakes at school and university. @laceylett @kfor talk about its use at a school in Oklahoma as part of a program by the Oklahoma Geological Survey (@OKgeology).

Ángel and Branden are packing their bags and preparing to leave their eternal summertime humble abodes in Panama for a week in London! They will be giving a Keynote speach at the Discussion Workshop on Educational and Citizen seismology hosted by the British Geological Society (@Schoolseismo).

Ever want to just cut it open and see? We did just that. See our latest addition to the manual here for photos and videos.

Over 500 Raspberry Shake seismograph stations are now online! Thanks for the nice plot @d3noob

Some of our latest newcomers: Luxembourgh and Myanmar.

Watch the network come alive on stationView.

This means that YOU are now your own source of earthquake solutions.

For example, see EQInfo for the recent earthquake in Alaska:

The denser the network, the faster and more accurate the earthquake solutions. So please help us spread the word.
