This way I can disconnect them prior to the threat of nearby lightning strikes. So in this episode, we combine a tank circuit, an AS3935 lightning detector IC, and an Arduino nano to create a standalone lightning notification device. If you intend to use the AS3935, you may be interested in my difficulties in using I2C over SPI, and how I was able to test the unit by simulating lightning strikes.</p> <p></p> <h2 id="mcetoc_1fnshn67b0">Supplemental Content:</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-06-71/E14LightningDetector.zip" data-e14adj="t">Lightning Detector Resources</a></li> </ul> <p></p> <div style="background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #dadada;margin:0;padding:14px 16px 16px 18px;vertical-align:top;"> <div style="display:inline-block;float:left;padding:0px 25px 8px 0px;"><a href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/" data-e14adj="t"><img alt="element14 presents" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2021/e14PDCtoDaylight2021.png" /></a></div> <div style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:70%;"> <p style="margin:0;"><span><a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/" data-e14adj="t">element14 presents</a></span>  <strong>|</strong> <a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/vcp-program/w/documents/4139/vcp-biography-derek" data-e14adj="t">About Derek</a>  <strong>|</strong>  <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/dc-to-daylight/" data-e14adj="t">DC to Daylight</a></p> </div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> DC to Daylight 04: Detecting Lightning with Tank Circuitshttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/dc-to-daylight/w/documents/27406/detecting-lightning-with-tank-circuits----dc-to-daylight-04/revision/5Mon, 06 Feb 2023 13:48:53 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:3b4b37a2-af30-45b9-91cd-8d195da4ab8ftariq.ahmadhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/dc-to-daylight/w/documents/27406/detecting-lightning-with-tank-circuits----dc-to-daylight-04#commentsRevision 5 posted to Documents by tariq.ahmad on 2/6/2023 1:48:53 PM<br /> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><a href="https://youtu.be/su8jV-jvas4">https://youtu.be/su8jV-jvas4</a><br /> </p> <p style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;margin:0;max-width:744px;padding:8px;">I have several outdoor antennas that connect to radios inside the house, and I wanted a kind of early warning system when storms are approaching.
