Part 1: Lightning Detector - Wiring + Arduino Code | Franken-lightning Detector
IT'S ALIVE! We can’t bring our creations to life without lightning! To celebrate this iconic monster movie element we’re going to incorporate a real AS3935 lightning detector as part of our Frankstein-inspired gothic cathedral window display to alert us when a storm is approaching. The AS3935 is capable of detecting lightning up to 40 km away with an accuracy of 1km to the storm front with an antenna tuned to pick up lightning events in the 500kHz band.
In this Arduino lightning detector tutorial we'll figure out how to wire the detector to the Arduino UNO and then take a look at the main code blocks to fine tune it for our environment.
