AS3935-based Lightning Sensors

ECOWITT WH57 USING AS3935.

Energy and Distance are for the last strike.

Energy Calculation doesn't agree between WH57 and Blitzortung Eval Board. It is an arbitrary number assigned by the repective programmers.

SENSOR IC INTERFACED TO THE BLITZORTUNG CONTROLLER.

These lightning detectors are hobbyist grade and are not intended for safety or legal purposes. This particular sensor and controller software is purely experimental. The main Blitzortung pages use multiple stations to detect strikes. The AS3935 is a stand-alone device that relies on embedded algorithms to detect and locate the lightning.
