Jan 2026 - New Rig and plans for year

Back up to speed at last. Have been testing a new rig which uses a single Raspberry Pi 4b (4GB) to monitor a DLVR F50D differential pressure sensor and an icp10125 absolute pressure/temperature sensor. System is online and appears to be working well - see Projects page. A second such rig, using a newer and much faster Pi 5 will be built and installed in Durham (43.3km away) shortly.

Our primary goal is to upload data in near real-time to a server, then to look onto analysis such as correlating infrasound detections. Setting up a server is not trivial, I have been experimenting with seiscomp SeisComP. Initially plan to configure a fast Pi 5 as a server here in Guisborough. If this worksd out and we get interest in an international school/citizen science network we can consider scaling up.
