Sketch for Lightning Sensor
-
I ordered one form embedded adventures on 27/7 - Now it is 3/9 and still nothing.
Waiting to hear from them....
That's the whole truth. -
I have adopted the MOD-1016 module (https://www.embeddedadventures.com/datasheets/MOD-1016_hw_v8_doc_v4.pdf) for MySensors if anyone is interested:

OK - finally got board, seems the problem was in the warehouse. I got email to say it had been sent and it never did. At least I can try it out soon and see how it compares to the current lightning sensors I use.

Please do let us know how it compares and which one you like the best.

@neverdie Last night was the first lightning to test it out - 3 storm cells went through with hail and lightning, but nothing from the sensor :(
So today I have rewired it, made some changes to the program and if we get lightning tonight I might have some news :)

I have the same problem. Insane storms, and nothing from the sensor, the bast I had were events identified as noise. I've had storms around and sensor doesn't detect anything, very disappointing.
I've tried to disconnect my laptop from main so it's not grounded (seem it can be a problem) but I still had nothing. -

It's taken 2 years to get this far as storms are not frequent around here.
My sensor is from Embedded Adventures, is that the same one you are using?
I run it from 5V, it is set for 'indoors' and is placed on a window sil. I can see 'noise' if I place a laptop near to it. If I enable 'disturbers' I see them flooding in. The noise floor is set to 3 and I get no triggers at that level. Previously the noise floor was at 6.
So for the moment I am a little frustrated/disappointed with this 'sensor'. But I have to wait for the next storm, which should be tonight or tomorrow :)

Embedded Adventures is a fake website anymore. They don't send the mod-1016 sensor.
The website still gets payment for products but there is no shipment.
embedded adventures is fraudulent.
