Great video! Thanks!

cool project! worth trying out

Very good!

That’s pretty cool. My house shakes from nearby roads so that would be going off. Would love to see a twin axis joystick project using Hall effect sensor joysticks like those used in remote control drones ie 2 joysticks for space sims.

You've done a really good job explaining and demonstrating.thanks.

Golly Big Thank You! Very very rad Comment 😊 Take care and stay cozy Luis!

Very interesting project! I am curious, I have geophone strings and was wondering can this help somehow to test whether they are in good condition? That would require some additions to this system I guess. 🤔

Great video! Thank you! I've seen several references that specify this ADC module's max voltage as 5V. In my case, the module will be used in conjunction with a different MC and will be be bit-banged. If I can use it at 5V it will make my life much easier - any info would be appreciated.

Nice ! And very well explained. It inspired an idea. With 3 geo phones and 3 ADC’s, it should be possible to triangulate an exact position of any vibration in a 2D field, assuming the speed of vibration (m/sec) is consistent through the media (ground). I can see some applications for that in terms of trespass monitoring, actually plotting a route through a monitored area…..

I love that idea! 😊 That would make for an incredibly powerful system. Usually when three Geophones are combined in a singular system they all face a Primary Axis (X, Y, Z directions) close together but I really like the idea of using three to encircle and protect an area. Three in that configuration would also make it possible to figure out what is internal within the area shocks/vibrations and what are external.

Actually it is almost impossible to do this with the accuracy you want. Things like rocks, roots, and varying soil composition radically change prop times due to reflections between the sensors. if you get it to work the army would really like to talk to you! 😊

i made a relay into a geophone years ago and attached it to a fishing pole. it didnt wornt work all that great. had drifting problems with the way i had it hooked up.

Could this be used to detect low frequency music sound, like sub-woofer?

A question? to measure vibrations the ads1115 is not very poor in resolution?

can geophones be mounted on a vertical surface like a wall?

Can I turn it into a microphone/ attach it to a microphone cable?

At 8:11 you 'sudo pip3' TWO Adafruit libraries onto the Pi. At 9:27 only ONE Adafruit module is 'import'-ed into Python. Is this because a dependency between the TWO is fulfilled outside of Python? Is this the 'Blinka' layer? Great video, thank you.

Great tutorial!!! Any suggestion put all stuff inside a 3d printed box without cause reading problems to geophone ? Cheers!

Cheers mate 😊 Best results comes from placing the ADC directly on the hard ground (concrete floor is commonly where it is placed). Id make a hole in the bottom of the case and pop the Geophone through it, friction fit around the edges. That way the Geophone is having direct connection to the ground and it'll provide the best/most accurate responses.

excelente es justamente lo que estaba pensando en la mañana y sin buscar me llego este video . no se que sensor loga esto jajja

If the geo phone is bigger will it sense if you’re in another room ?

Is there available some kind of documentation for consult if I want to try using another faster language like C++ or if I want to do my own version in python? It would be possible to convert the output data to a seismic format like SAC or mSEED?

With 3 of those and some triangulation code, you can geo locate a person on a property. By teaching it with AI you can tell who or what is walking there.

Congratulation bro, How can I use geophone for earth quake signal

Looks real good, engineering and research instruments use 3 channels(X, Y, and Z), and really powerful sistems can have up to 9 (3 acc, 3 vel, and 3 displacement) channels how would you connect the 3 channels to one raspberry pi?

A Raspberry Pi 4 Model B would definitely be capable of X, Y and Z measurements from three Geophones. Running 9 Separate Geophones on a Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer, that I have no idea if it would be possible. Communication from the ADC is all through I2C so enables many many devices to be connected up so communication avenues wouldn't be a limiting factor.

@@Core-Electronics in such configuration would you use only one ADC connected to the three geophones?

How can the ADC sense negative voltages? It has to have a negative supply connection to do this. Seismometers are normally biased above ground for this very reason. Thanks for the nice work.

@Core-Electronics

Жыл бұрын

Cheers for your kind words 😊! So the ADS1115 is able to measure negative values or voltages even though it only operates using a single supply. Although the ADS1115 has 16 bit resolution capability, it uses Two's complement to represent a value. The MSB (Most Significant Bit) represents the Sign Bit (+ or -). This is really a 15bit resolution ADC capable of negative and positive voltage measurement (within the GND to VDD supply limitation). Here is a great spiel all about this - www.best-microcontroller-projects.com/ads1115.html

The Pi Zero has the same pinout and will work, although you may be limited in processing power. If it's form factor that's the issue then a Pi Zero 2 might be a better pick. The ADC board can take in another geophone (the phone needs 2 analog pins and the ADC has 4), so if you want 3 you will need to connect an additional ADC board or one that has 6 analog pins. Hope this helps!

I have noticed the example Python Scripts I downloaded are a little different from what I see in the video. Instead of mV in the graph, it shows a raw Y_range variable with a range of +/- 750 in the program script. What exactly is this value, I think it comes in as a raw number from the ADC reading? Also, some lines of code such as the scale array is missing, as well as the equation where it calculates Voltage. (Edit: I think I can adjust things by writing my own code, I just want to make sure I understand what raw number the program reads from the ADC reader, and work from there.)
