Introduction
Context
Earthquakes, as natural disasters, pose a dual threat—potentially resulting in the loss of human lives and causing substantial material damage. The project we have developed centers around monitoring earthquake occurrences, providing users with timely notifications via phone and web interfaces, and archiving records in a database. This comprehensive approach enables users to promptly assess seismic activity at the sensor's location, empowering them to take immediate and informed measures in response to potential earthquakes.
Project Description
The idea of this project is to gather measurements from a MPU-6050 sensor (with an accelerometer and a gyroscope) and to process the data in order to detect the occurrence of an earthquake. When an earthquake is detected, the following things will happen:
- on a website in the LAN the “Earthquake detected” message will be displayed
- on the connected LCD the “Earthquake detected” message will be displayed
- a notification will be sent on the user's phone
- an entry will be added to the InfluxDB project's readings
