highly-sensitive ADXL335 accelerometer is presented that can indicate
vibrations. If the motion is violent enough during an earthquake and
crosses a certain threshold, a local alarm light (LED) glows, a buzzer
sounds and a relay energizes. With certain modifications, this can be
turned into a knock-and-shake detector for ATMs, vehicles, or door-
break alarms as well.
