We sell the MOD-1016 breakout board which has the AS3935 lightning sensor on it. It is a bit of a quirky chip, but it's also very unique and works surprisingly well. We had a storm in New York yesterday and there was a fun moment when one of our sensors beeped at sensing lightning, followed a second later by a crash of thunder.
If there are any particular issues, we would be delighted to help out. kind regards Ian. On 12 August 2016 at 09:02, Steve Sykes <[email protected]> wrote: > Steve, > Thanks for the reply.
