Description: 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. 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. Ask me questions you know I'll reply to at this link: bit.ly/3JsxjXi Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files and behind the scenes video: bit.ly/2MFMG0v Visit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware: Tech spotlights: bit.ly/2KLz0TS Roadtest and Reviews: bit.ly/2KH4fj3 Project14: bit.ly/2wPnajx #tankcircuit #resonantcircuit #lightning #lightning_detector #antenna_lightning #as3935 #arduino
