Roadmap to Build Low-cost Ground Motion Monitoring Sensing Unit

Building a low-cost Ground Motion Monitoring Unit is a challenging process, and many challenges exist, such as choosing the proper seismic sensor, analog-to-digital converter, and digital data processing. To analyze, store, and send real-time seismic data to a data center, we need to construct various libraries to operate the hardware of the Ground Motion Monitoring Unit. This paper presents a detailed roadmap that demonstrates the challenges of building a low-cost Ground Motion Monitoring Unit to benefit the research community and has a positive influence through knowledge sharing. The major goal of this study was to save researchers time and effort, especially those who wish to learn about the design of low-cost Ground Motion Monitoring devices.
