Hi, list, Weirdly, over the last 6 months, between 12 midnight and 6 AM, when my wife and I are sleeping, she will occasionally be awakened by a "shaking." We live in northern Illinois, in a rural area, miles away from any urban development, gravel pits, or anything such like. I consistently sleep through it. I was thinking to build a vibration sensor using a MSP430 (sorry PICers) and one of AD's accelerometer chips, to log the disturbance. Does anyone have any idea what kind of G range something like that should measure?
