WHAT IS IT?
A seismic alarm you can run in Proteus: a Raspberry Pi 5 reads an accelerometer fixed to a floor or a wall, tells an
earthquake from a single knock, rates the shaking on an intensity scale, warns when the building tilts or the sensor
falls, and shows everything on an LCD, an RGB LED, a buzzer and a web page.
* ADXL345 accelerometer (ADXL345ADVTEP, U1): VCC and CS on the Pi's 3V3 (CS HIGH = I2C), SDO to GND (address 0x53),
SDA GPIO2, SCL GPIO3. Full resolution, +-16 g, 100 samples a second; its own tap and free-fall detectors.
* I2C LCD 16x2 (I2CLCD16X2BLUEADVTEP, LCD1, PCF8574 at 0x27) on the same bus, 5 V.
* RGB LED, common cathode (LEDRGBCCTEP, D1): R GPIO17 through R1 100 ohm, G GPIO27 through R2 47, B GPIO22
through R3 47 - green quiet, yellow tilt, red earthquake, blue levelling.
* Active buzzer (BUZZERACTIVETEP, BZ1) on the 5 V rail, switched by Q1 BC547 (BC547BTEP; base through R5 1k from
GPIO23); R4 1k across the buzzer.
* RASPBERRY PI 5 (PI1) runs quake_monitor.py on Ethernet at 192.168.1.51; the dashboard is on port 8000.
* Laptop WiFi Monitor (PC1) and Mobile WiFi Monitor (MOB1) open http://192.168.1.51:8000/.
The rules (at the top of quake_monitor.py):
* the Pi reads the three axes 25 times a second; gravity is followed slowly, the rest is the shaking;
* an earthquake = 5 samples (0.2 s) of shaking above 0.05 g within one second; a single knock is shorter (the
chip's tap detector reports it as a knock); the earthquake is over after 2 s without shaking, then rated on the
USGS ShakeMap scale (peak acceleration to Modified Mercalli intensity);
* a tilt of 10 degrees or more from the level for 2 s = TILT (a beep every 2 s); a free fall is reported.
Its pages:
/ the dashboard: the state, the shaking now, the tilt, the axes, the last earthquake, the events
/zero level again: the sensor's present position becomes "no tilt"
/silence the buzzer off for the present alarm
/data everything as JSON
TEST STATUS
Tested in Proteus 8 Professional on Windows 11, the run that made the tutorial's screenshots (simulation times):
* Start: "ADXL345 DEVID 0xE5"; "levelled: X +0.00 g, Y +0.00 g, Z +1.00 g" at 0.5 s; QUIET, green.
* TAP: "a knock (the chip's tap detector) - a single knock is not an earthquake" at 11.5 s.
* SHAKE: "EARTHQUAKE! shaking 1.39 g" at 14.4 s (red, the buzzer); "the earthquake is over: peak 2.31 g (231 % g),
intensity X+ - extreme, 1.8 s of shaking" at 18.2 s.
* PITCH +15 (X +0.26 g, Z +0.97 g): no earthquake; "TILT 15.0 degrees" at 25.5 s (yellow, a beep every 2 s).
* SILENCE from the phone at 30.4 s; ZERO from the laptop: levelled at the slope at 33.5 s, the tilt 0.1 degrees.
* FREE FALL: "FREE FALL - the sensor is falling" at 37.8 s; the landing counted only as a knock at 38.0 s.
* The ADXL345: 2,119 reads, no NACK.
An earlier version followed gravity slowly and read the sudden 15-degree tilt as an earthquake; the program now
also asks for the shaking to swing back and forth (REVERSALS).
43 s of simulation took about 3 minutes on our PC with all the captures.
INSTALLATION
1. Close Proteus. Extract the WHOLE zip file, for example to your Desktop.
2. Copy the files from "Proteus Library Files" into the LIBRARY folder of Proteus, for example
C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY
3. Copy everything in "Proteus Model Files" - the DLL files AND the TEPPi folder - into the MODELS folder
(next to LIBRARY). TEPPi holds the Python 3.11 that the Raspberry Pi board runs and our TEP Pi runtime.
4. Start Proteus. Press P in the schematic and search for RASPBERRY PI 5, ADXL345ADVTEP or BUZZERACTIVETEP to check
that the parts are there.
RUN THE SIMULATION
1. Open "Proteus Simulation\Pi-5-Earthquake-Detector.pdsprj". Keep quake_monitor.py and the DLL files beside it.
2. Press Play. The program levels the sensor (blue), then the LED turns green and the LCD says QUIET.
3. Open the Laptop WiFi Monitor (PC1) or the Mobile WiFi Monitor (MOB1) and press Go. Press Refresh to update it.
4. In the ADXL345's pop-up (U1) press TAP (a knock: ignored), then SHAKE (an earthquake: red, the buzzer), then
PITCH +15 (TILT after 2 s). SILENCE on the page stops the buzzer; ZERO makes the new position level.
Your own program: edit quake_monitor.py beside the project (the thresholds at the top) and press Play.
PROPERTIES USED IN THIS PROJECT
PI1 RASPBERRY PI 5 PROGRAM=quake_monitor.py, ETHERNET=IN (192.168.1.51)
U1 ADXL345ADVTEP (no changes: flat, pitch 0, roll 0)
LCD1 I2CLCD16X2BLUEADVTEP (no changes: address 0x27)
PC1, MOB1 HOMEPAGE=http://192.168.1.51:8000/
TROUBLESHOOTING
* "DEVID 0x00": the ADXL345 does not answer - SDA / SCL swapped, CS not HIGH (CS LOW = SPI mode), or SDO not at GND.
* TILT at once after starting: the sensor was moving while the program levelled it - press ZERO with it still.
* Every knock is an earthquake: QUAKE_N too small, or QUAKE_G below the floor's own vibration.
* The buzzer stays silent: BUZZ is not on GPIO23, or R4 (1k across the buzzer) is missing.
* The terminal cannot start Python: the TEPPi folder is not in MODELS (step 3 of INSTALLATION), or an older one.
LICENCES
* The project, the program, the parts (LIB files) and the models (DLL files) are made by The Engineering
Projects and are free for learning and for your own projects. The models use only standard Windows libraries.
The C++ source code of the models is not included; the source code is not included for any model.
* TEPPi\python is the Python 3.11 Windows embeddable package (Python Software Foundation License); TEPPi\runtime
holds our TEP Pi runtime with gpiozero and colorzero (BSD licences) - their licence files are inside the folders.
* Proteus is a product of Labcenter Electronics and is not included. Raspberry Pi is a trademark of Raspberry Pi
Ltd; ADXL345 is a name of Analog Devices. This project is not made or endorsed by them. A hobby detector is
not an official earthquake warning system.

FAQs8 questionsContact TEP
How do I download Raspberry Pi 5 Earthquake Detector - Proteus Simulation V1.0?
Wait for the 30-second guest countdown on this page, then press the download button; the file comes straight from our storage. Members who are logged in skip the wait. If the browser opens the file instead of saving it, use its Save as option. The download link is made for you when the countdown ends and works for 15 minutes; a saved or shared link stops working, so share this page instead.
What is inside the archive?
Raspberry Pi 5 Earthquake Detector - Proteus Simulation V1.0 comes as a ZIP archive of 147 files (14.7 MB, 29.0 MB unpacked) holding Proteus library files, simulation model DLLs, a Proteus simulation, source code and a nested archive. Open the File Structure tab for the full list of 147 files.
What should I do if the download does not start?
Check the browser's download list first; an ad blocker or a company firewall can also hold it back, so try another browser or network. If the file arrives incomplete, download it again. For an installation problem, read the Install tab or tell us in the comments with your software version and the exact error message.
Is this file free?
Yes. Every file in the TEP Download Center is free for learning, personal and student projects. If you share it, link back to this page or the tutorial so others find the latest version.
How do I check that the file arrived complete?
Compare its SHA-256 with the one on this page, b0c5dac240ddc61228705c2b0fc8b82f5ea85a14e5a2e382ee1f5c94e06e98c9. In PowerShell run Get-FileHash "pi-5-earthquake-detector-tep-v1-0-60064f9ade88458e827ac66b99587c9b.zip"; on macOS or Linux run shasum -a 256 "pi-5-earthquake-detector-tep-v1-0-60064f9ade88458e827ac66b99587c9b.zip". The same value means the file is exactly the one in our storage; a different one means the download broke off, so download it again.
Do I need WinRAR to open the ZIP file?
No. Windows, macOS and Linux open ZIP archives on their own (Extract All, or double-click). WinRAR and 7-Zip work too. Extract the whole archive before using the files.
Where do I put the LIB and IDX files?
Both files go into the LIBRARY folder of your Proteus installation (Proteus 8: C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY; Proteus 7 has the same folder under its own name). Restart Proteus afterwards and search for the component with P.
Which Proteus version does the library need?
The tutorial names the Proteus version the library was made and tested with. Most TEP libraries work in Proteus 7 and Proteus 8; if the component does not appear after a restart, check that both the LIB and the IDX file were copied and that Proteus was fully closed while copying.
