Measuring seismic activity using ProtoCentral OpenPressure
https://www.electronics-lab.com/measuring-seismic-activity-using-protocentral-openpressure/
Seismic activity or “Vibrations of the earth” is measured using ProtoCentral’s OpenPressure 24-bit DAQ System. A geophone is a magnetic device used to measure the Earth’s normal vibrations (some abnormal during events such as earthquakes). These movements are also present when there is a small explosion (commonly used for mining and exploration purposes). Measuring seismic […]
iSwitchPi Adds an Intelligent Power Switch to Your Raspberry Pi
https://www.electronics-lab.com/iswitchpi-adds-intelligent-power-switch-raspberry-pi/
by Peter Boxler : Native Raspberry Pi does not have an On/Off switch and there is no easy way to shutdown the Pi while keeping the filesystem intact. This Intelligent Power Switch allows just that: Power-On the Pi by pressing a pushbutton and also properly Power-Off the Pi with another press on the same button. […]
