Hello Raspberry Shake Community!
I work at a K-12 school that received a Raspberry Shake and Boom device as a part of a network of devices across Georgia sponsored by Georgia Tech Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. I’ve got the device online and sending data. What I would like to do now is create a display in the hallway that shows displays the data.
I realize there is a cool streaming data display at shakenet.raspberryshake.org Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see my data there I don’t own our device, so my login isn’t associated with the device in our building. Also, we don’t get many earthquakes here in Atlanta… mostly what we see is noise and the tramping of student feet when they go too and from the cafeteria!
So, my approach has been to setup a chromium browser on a Raspberry Pi 4 that rotates between a list of URLs:
- An overview page that I created to explain the display
- Station view of our shake showing streaming EHZ and HDF graphs
- Data view of a days’ worth of EHZ data (which is cool mostly because you can see the foot traffic.)
- Station view zoomed out to see the world
such as: https://stationview.raspberryshake.org/#/?lat=15.47241&lon=-14.92133&zoom=2.5&sta=R755#
Here are my questions:
- First of all, am I missing an easier approach? Like maybe some way to make the shakenet site work for my use case?
- What I’d really to do with the last URL is show the zoomed out view that focuses more on the events and hides the stations. The hexagonal icons cover up all the event data. I can kind of do this in the UI by selecting a single station type. Is there a URL parameter to control the filters directly from the URL query string without interacting with the UI?
- If this is not possible on the Raspberry shake site, I was considering using earthquake.usgs.gov I also just found this one: [EarthQuakeChannel] (https://www.iris.edu/app/eqc/)
- Are there online resources that you would recommend to help explain earthquake monitoring that I could display in a kiosk?
