Product Description:
Based on an AMS reference design, this is a breakout board for the AS3935 digital lightning sensor.This innovative sensor features a specially tuned antenna, an SPI or I2C interface, and a wide standard operating range of 2.4V to 5.5V, making it compatible with most current development systems and boards.The breakout board includes an inductor (antenna) specifically designed for this application, eliminating the need for extensive backend programming to support low-level IC calibration.
Features:
Detects cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud flashes
Estimates lightning distance between 1 km and 40 km in 14 steps
Embedded "man-made" interference rejection algorithm
Programmable lightning detection threshold (e.g., outdoor vs. indoor)
Wide supply voltage range: 2.4V-5.5V
Supports SPI and I2C operation by default, I2C address 0x03
Breakout board ships fully calibrated
Applications: Weather stations, sports electronics, mobile phones, smartwatches, golf equipment
