Initial Setup

- Your new Shake should appear on ShakeNet within 24 hours.
- If you have a restricted network, contact your IT administrator to add the Shake’s MAC or IP address.
Troubleshooting
- If your Shake is constantly rebooting or not turning on:
- Check the power supply output (2.5 Amps, 5-5.2 volts).
- Avoid using typical cell phone power supplies as they may not provide sufficient Amps.
FAQ
- How do I see my first earthquake?
- Easily visualize earthquakes of all sizes and intensities on our ShakeNet mobile and web apps. Go to: https://raspberryshake.org/welcome.
What if rs.local/ does not open in my browser?
If a search or an empty web page appears instead of the Shake configuration screen, remember to add a forward slash to the local address, like this: rs.local/ There is a possibility that your Shake is still completing the initial update process. The time varies depending on the internet connection speed, so try again in a little bit. You can try to find the IP address of your Shake from your WiFi router admin panel, or with an app like Fing. Enter the IP into your browser, which will open the same rs.local/ config page
How long does it take for my Shake to appear on ShakeNet?
Typically, your new Shake will appear on ShakeNet mobile and web apps within 24 hours, often much faster.
What if I have a restricted network (e.g., a firewall at schools or the office)?
Talk with your IT administrator to add your Shake's MAC and/or IP address to their system. We can always support you on the forum!
Does my Shake need a dedicated computer?
Nope, your Shake does not need a dedicated computer - it already is one!
What is an ideal location for my Shake after initial setup?
Can I plug my Shake into a monitor via HDMI?
Your Shake does not utilize the HDMI output for data visualization or configuration. The Shake can be accessed via the rs.local/ webpage and the data can be visualized remotely through the ShakeNet mobile and web apps.
Why might my Shake be constantly rebooting/not turning on?
We recommend that you check the output of your power supply, the Shake requires 2.5 Amps and between 5 and 5.2 volts. Note that your typical cell phone power supplies generally do not supply sufficient Amps.
For any other questions, visit our help page, our manual, or our technical support forum.
