Hello All,
I want to connect the Geophone sensor and digitizer to an Arduino Giga R1 instead of Raspberry Pi. My project requirements require me to use a bare metal microcontroller. Will that be possible ? I tried to hook up a SM-24 Geophone to an Arduino Giga R1 but it was nowhere near as sensitive as the raspberry pi shake, any suggestions ?
Best,
Ashitabh
Hello Ashitabh, and welcome to our community!
I don’t remember something like this being attempted before, so it’s a bit uncharted territory.
As it stands, the Shake is built to be interfaced with a Raspberry Pi board, so switching to an Arduino Giga R1 would require a significant amount of work (if the final result is even possible in the first place).
A different board would not immediately understand how to communicate with the Shake board to interpret the data it produces, so you would need to create an interface that allows the software you’re using on the Arduino to do so.
All in all, it will be a complex endeavor, and I’m sorry I cannot offer more details on the matter. If anyone else in the community has more experience/ideas, feel free to correct me/add more to the discourse!
