Abstract

rsudp was written to parse and process live UDP data streams from Raspberry Shake personal seismographs and Raspberry Boom pressure transducer instruments. rsudp allows users the options to see their data in real time, create alert parameters, and be notified in various ways (including via social media) when their instrument detects sudden motion. It is written in Python and is therefore highly customizable.




Plain-text abstract

rsudp was written to interpret data cast from Raspberry Shake personal seismographs. rsudp allows users to see their data in real time, create motion alerts, and be notified in various ways (including via social media) when their instrument detects sudden motion. It is written in Python and is therefore highly customizable and relatively easy to understand.
