  • I am preparing for my next thunderstorm to measure how far away and intense the storm is using the first Integrated Circuit (IC) Lightning Sensor. It senses both cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning. It is able to distinguish between lightning strikes and local electrical interference and noise generated by microwave ovens, fluorescent lights and switching on electric motors. It can sense up lightning strikes up to 40km away with a resolution between 1 and 4km.
    I am using a DFRobot Gravity Lightning Distance sensor and it is coupled to a Seeeduino Nano computer. Results go onto a Grove 2 line RGB LCD screen and also to my Windows PC via a USB serial link. The sensor was designed by AMS and is labeled AS3935 Franklin Lightning Sensor IC. I also tried to compile and execute the code on an ESO32 computer called M5StickC Plus but I had problems with its interrupt routine.
    Software is developed in Arduino IDE starting with the libraries and APIs from DFRobot. I add extra code for the LCD screen and for counting non valid signals called distrupters and from electrical noise sources.
    I have not completed testing yet - the has not being thunderstorm but I conclude the video with a storm recorded by Elsa Luebing and available on the videvo website,
