Building a vertical motion Seismometer

Guidelines

1. Understand the principles of Seismology and ground motion measurement
        Robert Pillet, Seismologist at GéoAzur
        Jean-Luc Berenguer, Associate Professor of Life Science at the CIV (Centre International de Valbonne)
2. Refine the requirements of the Mechanical/Analogue part of the Seismometer
3. Refine the requirements of the Software part of the Seismometer
4. Implement the Analogue System on a breadboard with prototyping components and develop the Data Acquisition and User Interface on a Raspberry Pi
5. Test and Verification
6. Validation
