Raspberry Shake – Communication Update

Dear Raspberry Shake friends,

First of all, we would like to thank all again for your support. We learned a lot throughout this process and we are working every day to make Raspberry Shake an ever better personal seismograph!

Previously, all Raspberry Shake updates were issued through the Kickstarter platform (see previous updates here). Since then, hundreds of additional citizen scientists have purchased their own Raspberry Shake through our shop. So today we are moving the updates to this MailChimp newsletter service. Feel to to unsubscribe at any time (see link at end of email).

Raspberry Shake – Shipping Update

All units are out the door and should be shipped by the end of next week. We are off to Panama City tonight with the last 300 or so units. This means that, for most of you, Raspberry Shake will arrive in time for Christmas.

We have been shipping in waves, starting with Magnitude 5, 6.5 and 8 clients in the USA and Canada so some users have already starting receiving their Raspberry Shakes! (and much to our surprise- the USPS is super efficient!!!)

Raspberry Shake – Do It Yourself Update

For Magnitude 5, 6.5 and 8 backers, we have created a Do It Yourself section on our website.

There you can download the SD card image, enclosure laser cutter files, geophone specifications and pinout diagram.

Raspberry Shake – Server-side Web Applications Update

We have begun to roll out a number of server-side web applications including some really fantastic web apps developed by our colleagues at gempa GmbH such as Station View & Earthquake View.

We ask for your patience as we debug these platforms. We are going global fast and are bound to hit snags along the way :)
