Just the board.
The same seismic electronics that go into every GeoShake T1 — an ESP32-S3 with a four-sensor LSM6DSO array, reading the ground more than a hundred times a second. Assembled, tested, firmware already on it. Everything around it is yours to build.
Three ways to get one
Same electronics in all three. What changes is how much of the work is yours.
| Price | What you get | Why it costs that |
|---|---|---|
| €99 | Bare board, single — Maker Edition | You assemble it. Community support. |
| €129 | Complete unit, minimum 12 — sponsorship | Volume, and it goes to schools and at-risk regions. |
| €199 | Complete unit, single — GeoShake T1 | Everything, and we are there when it does not work. |
What arrives, and what does not
In the box
- The assembled, tested GeoShake T1 board
- Firmware pre-loaded
- Nothing else
You supply
- The enclosure — files are open, print it in PETG or ASA
- A USB-C cable and power source
- The setup, using the same first setup guide as everyone else
- Your own patience when something needs figuring out
No soldering. The board is fully assembled and tested before it ships — the "maker" part is the enclosure and the setup, not the electronics.
Getting on the network
A bare board is a seismometer on your desk. Joining the public network is a separate, deliberate step.
Every station on the map carries an identity we issue. That is what lets the network trust a reading enough to act on it. The firmware is GPL-3.0 and you are free to build and flash your own — but a self-compiled board still cannot join without an issued identity, and that is by design.
Apply through Join the network. We review applications by hand at this volume, which is exactly the point of the gate.
Pre-order the Maker Edition
€99 each, shipping and taxes included, delivered worldwide.
Where you get help
Community, not a support desk — and that is the honest difference between this and the €199 unit.
- Discord — other owners and the team. This is your first stop.
- First setup guide — the same guide the complete unit ships with, LED meanings and troubleshooting included.
- GitHub — firmware source, enclosure files, and where to open an issue.
Faults are still faults. If a board arrives dead or fails its self-check, email info@geoshake.org and we will replace it — community support is about setup help, not about you being stuck with broken hardware.
Before you order
Is the board really identical to the one in the €199 unit?
Yes — same PCB, same ESP32-S3, same four LSM6DSO sensors, same firmware, assembled and tested on the same line. The difference is everything around it.
Do I need to solder anything?
No. It arrives fully assembled and tested. What you supply is the enclosure, a cable, and the setup.
Where do I get the enclosure files?
They are open under CC BY-SA 4.0 — STLs and the editable source, on Printables and MakerWorld, linked from GitHub. PETG or ASA, 25% infill, no supports.
Can I use it without joining the public network?
Yes. Point it at your own MQTT broker and it works — the firmware is open and no secure-boot eFuses are burned. You only need an issued identity if you want your station on the public map.
Can I buy several?
Up to 99 in one order, and you can adjust the quantity on the Stripe page. If you need more than that, or you are buying for a school or a lab, email info@geoshake.org.
