About Revision:24.1

This is a Earthquake Map Display for RaspberryPi Attached screen

This fork adds additional features, while keeping the orginal functionality (I hope!)

• added parallel data souce earthquake.usgs.gov 60s polling each source
• command line output
• realtime clock
• new display data and reporting
• hi-res ability to extend to any monitor
• ability to change basic settings in runtime
• Daily event Trending
• Daily database for playback later python3 EQPlay.py
  • RamDisk use to lower any disk write on Pi SD-Card
  • multi day player

Feel free to pull issues/suggestions or forks to contribute!

Settings Keys

Command	Description
esc / q	end program, exit fuillscreen
d	Distance calculations in mi/km
h	Hours calculations in 12p/24h
f	Set fullscreen mode
w	Set window mode
m	Cycle maps

Installation

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/SpudGunMan/EQMap2
cd EQMap2/
python3 EQMap.py

if you are not running a raspberry you may need to install pre-req they are included on raspberry by default so no need to continue here for Pi use...

sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev python3-pygame

Issues

If you have issues make sure your running the newest code git pull, let me know if you see a problem! if you really get stuck you can start over or try a git reset --hard follwed by a pull.

Hardware:

to get 7" ribbon attached display you might need to do a few things to bullseye

1. when you flash the OS to SSD open the FAT-partition on the SSD you just made and touch ssh to force enable SSH (or just make a empty file with the name of ssh nothing more no .txt)
2. you need to then use sudo raspi-config to enable legacy GL drivers till this bug is fully fixed to adjust 50K rate of screen. UPDATE 9/2022 there will likely be no fix for this workaround is needed.
3. Reboot to "hopefully" a working Pi Screen on bullseye

Tested

• Raspberry Pi3 running raspOS-bullseye.SEPT.2022
• https://www.amazon.com/ElecLab-Raspberry-Touchscreen-Monitor-Capacitive/dp/B08LVC4KRM/
• https://www.amazon.com/Eviciv-Portable-Monitor-Display-1024X600/dp/B07L6WT77H/
  • both work nice with a offical raspberry pi4/usb-c power supply at 3A and pi3 or Pi4
• osx12 native (need to add python tools like pip3 install pygames)

Untested:

• Raspberry nano e-ink

EQMap Source

• The upstream branch is a straight copy from http://craigandheather.net/celeearthquakemap.html
  • EQMap orginal project in doc/src directory by Craig A. Lindley 2021

To-Do

normally on a next branch if you see it try it out! git pull origin next

• add other types of data (tide)
  • volcano plotting
  • tsunami data
• save settings
  • UTC
• replay from larger returns in USGS (poll more in UK)
• generate some new maps
  • fault lines
