New developments in CPU-microcontroller boards and DIY (Do It Yourself) modules, with user friendly programming platforms and different operative systems, allow researchers and electronic enthusiasts to create a whole new branch of applications, as for example multiple CPU data processing, homemade robots, drones and IoT (Internet Of Things). The availability of these low cost and low energy consumption electronic boards and modules motivated our research centre (CVARG) to develop an experimental instrumentation project of a robust Data Acquisition System (DAS) for short period sensors (specially geophones), but flexible enough to accept other type of sensors and capable to be linked to analogue or WiFi/LAN telemetry, local data logging, and in situ data display (when needed). This type of DAS can be particularly useful to be deployed in remote sites, as it is usual when monitoring active volcanoes. Being modular, it can be applied to single sensor instruments, as 3-channel seismic station, or to seismic or infrasound arrays with one central DAS, linked by cable or telemetry, both to the digitizers and to the local or remote data storage system.
