Abstract:
Earthquakes are experienced everywhere, and alertness is an important method to remain safe. This study aids in keeping people safe by developing an efficient device that produces sound when motion has been detected. The researchers developed an Automated Earthquake Detector Alarm with a Digital Clock, LED, and LCD Recorded Time Display that is powered by Arduino Uno and performs automated functions with the use of the repeated looping of acceleration checks by the Arduino microcontroller due to the loop () function of the inputted code of the Arduino IDE. Each component has its specific functions; the Buzzer can produce sound that serves as an alarm. As a result, it was proven that the device is effective for alarming people when an earthquake has been detected. The 4-digit seven segment is used to show the time in Philippine Standard Time with the help of the RTC module, where it is proven that there is no significant difference in the developed device. The LCD shows the recorded time of when the movement occurs. This applied experimental research introduced the device’s uses, advantages, and features. This study introduced a safer experience with earthquakes by preparing ahead of time to prevent uncertainty and evacuating the room early to avoid potential earthquake causes. This study recommends adding a memory to the device to record the earthquake’s magnitude and intensity, inform the people that an earthquake occurs, and a battery in case of a power outage.
