In this guide we will going to make a simple Earth Quake monitoring device and learn how to connect and control the digital shock/vibration sensor module, we will going use the LED as our triggered output instead using alarm or any special output devices. When the sensor detects a vibration the LED will blink instead of sound alarm.
Electronic Parts Required
Required for Manual Circuit Assembly

May I have your ‘EEPROMAnything.h’ header?
You can use the EEPROM from the Arduino IDE
