Searching the interwebs, I found no shortage of leads about how to build a DIY seismometer. The problem is that the DIY seismometer designs I was seeing were large and ungainly contraptions. If I had a suitably sensitive seismometer, though, I’d be able to measure them. I recently decided that I needed to give this a try.

My first Instrument Idea involved the adaptation of a digital volt meter as the pack voltmeter. one just needs to measure the resistance of an analog meter and divide that by the voltage to determine the resistance per volt. Therefore my meter was 518 ohms/12 volts = 43.16 so I put it in reverse and pulled out of the garage!
