Earthquake_Detection

Hardware

• Arduino Mega
• MPU6050
• HC-05 (Bluetooth Module)

How it works

The MPU6050 module gives us acceleration and gyroscope values. We only make use of the acceleration values in x,y and z direction. A change of 0.5 m/s² in any direction is considered as an earthquake.

These modules are kept in remote locations where there is not much activity. Multiple modules are kept in different locations to form a net of detection modules. As soon as an earthquake is detected, we send a telegram notification. This is ideally supposed to be an emergency notification (like the one we got on our phones throughout the week)

Development

1. Aproach the maintainer for the hardware
2. Upload the arduino code earthquake-detector.ino to the arduino via the USB serial cable
3. Run telegram_register.py to register people from the telegram bot. This file is only run when you want to register users for the alert. Once you're done, stop execution of this file with a ctrl+c (it's a ctrl + c on mac too)
4. Run the send-earthquake.py parallely while the arduino is powered on. Make sure you've connected to the HC-05 bluetooth module on your laptop
5. Now when the module is shook, it should send an alert to every user ID in the user_id.txt file.
