Development of a portable low-cost PC-independent accelerometer for multiple purposes by Erick Montoya

“…This is a major difficulty when studying the dynamic response of buildings to earthquakes since usually large arrays of seismographs are needed to carry out such a study, making the affordability of this type of research in developing countries (regions where old or porrly-constructed buildings are more common) virtually impossible. In view of this problem, in this paper the prototype (named MiSismo) for an inexpensive PC-independent seismograph is presented, along with its most outstanding features (such as backup power system, sample rate selection, earthquake detection and email service), proposed applications and drawbacks. …”
