This article provides a comprehensive guide for integrating a vibration/earthquake sensor into an ESP32-based LoRa Meshtastic Node, suitable for boards like Heltec V3 Lora, TTGo, and T-Beam. The process begins with basic wiring instructions connecting the sensor to the ESP32 and setting it up via the Meshtastic app. Adjusting the sensor's sensitivity is also covered to optimize its responsiveness to actual seismic activity while minimizing false alarms. This integration aims to establish a community alert system for early warning during earthquakes, highlighting its importance in enhancing safety.
In this guide, we'll walk you through adding an earthquake/vibration sensor to your existing ESP32-based LoRa Meshtastic Node, enabling the network to broadcast seismic warnings.
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. Clockwise decreases sensitivity, while counterclockwise increases it, allowing you to fine-tune the detection settings.
By integrating a vibration/earthquake sensor into the Meshtastic network, you enable timely alerts for seismic activity, enhancing community safety during earthquakes.
The setup works with a variety of ESP32-based boards, such as Heltec V3 Lora, TTGo, or T-Beam, making it adaptable for various projects.
