Earthquake Detector using Arduino and Vibration Sensor

The Earthquake Detector is a simple and impactful Arduino-based project that uses a vibration sensor to detect seismic activity or ground vibrations, simulating an earthquake warning system. It is designed to sense sudden movements and provide early alerts, which can be useful in homes, schools, and small infrastructure setups for safety purposes.

This project utilizes an Arduino Uno, a vibration sensor module (like SW-420), and a buzzer or LED for alert indication. The vibration sensor continuously monitors any tremors. When the sensor detects vibrations beyond a certain threshold, it sends a signal to the Arduino. The Arduino then activates an alarm system (buzzer/LED/LCD alert) to notify users of the possible earthquake.

You can enhance the project by integrating a 16×2 LCD to display vibration status and timestamps, or use GSM modules to send SMS alerts in real-world applications.
