AnyShake Explorer is a professional-grade, fully open-source seismic monitoring platform built forresearchers,engineers,educators, andenthusiasts. It combineshigh-sensitivity velocity geophones with a32-bit precision ADC to capture ultra-low-noise seismic data in real time.

Designed with versatility in mind, AnyShake Explorer transmits data viaRS-232/RS-485 serial interfaces to its companion software,AnyShake Observer, for real-time visualization, storage, and analysis. It supportssimultaneous sampling of 3-axis geophones and accelerometers, and features advanced capabilities likeGNSS/NTP time synchronization,OLED display, anddigital inclinometer.

Whether you're monitoringearthquake activity, conductingstructural health assessments, or exploringeducational experiments, AnyShake Explorer provides aflexible,hackable, andfield-ready solution that brings high-resolution seismology within everyone’s reach.
