pi-lightning-detect

Interfaces with the AS3935 Franklin Lightning Sensor IC.

About

A cheap way to create a lighning detector with a Raspberry Pi, the AS3935 Sensor, and an Adafruit PiOLD display.

Features working:

• Integrate with RaspberryPi-AS3935 https://github.com/pcfens/RaspberryPi-AS3935.git
• Basic features - intergrated to AS3935 & OLED screen. Detect Lightning strikes, logs to stdout
• In memory SQLite Database storing Lightning stats.
• OLED screen live data of Lightning - Distance, Energy, time since last strike.

Features in progress

• Log out lightning detection data
• OLED screen historical stats & more info info

Features in to-do

• Local Webseite
• Local webservices to diaply text - data, stats, etc.
• Local webservices to graphs and charts - data, stats, etc.
• Local webservices to allow configuration of pi-lightning-detect, thresholds for disturber, noise etc.
• Local webservices to allow tunning of AS3935 chip.
• Send Lightning Detection data to webservice to log, triangulate, and view on map
• Run as Daemon
• Install scripts

Run the Code

• python3 pi-l-detect.py
