Lightning \"Emulator\" Shield for AS3935 Project Development
(Arduino R3 Shield, male header kit included)
Description:Not storming? No problem! Use this lightning \"emulator\" shield to generate a signal that mimics lightning strikes to develop your AS3935 lightning sensor application. This board is in an Arduino Uno R3 form factor, and only uses GPIO and I2C, so can be stacked on many form factors (developed on an Uno R3 and Mega R3). Buy the emulator or a development package with one or two sensor breakouts to get your project rolling with a combined discount.
About the AS3935 sensor board: SEN-39001 includes a specially tuned antenna, SPI orI2C interfacing and a wide 2.4V to 5.5V standard operating range. Thisinnovative sensor is designed to interface with most current developmentsystems and boards, including all of the current Arduino and Raspberry Pi modules! The breakout board features an inductor (antenna) speciallydesigned for this application, and theboard ships fully calibrated. This ensures that you don’t have to write amassive back-end to support low-level IC calibration just to get started - focus on your finalapplication!
*We store calibration values for each board shipped. Thisinformation can be provided at your request by simply emailing us with yourorder reference number. Contact info can be found below. Example code can be found on Github, including code for the Emulator and the Lightning Sensor (both SPI and I2C examples).The Emulator User Guide is also available on Github.
Applications:
- Weather stations
- Sports electronic equipment
- Cell phones
- Smart watches
- Golf type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\">
- Emulator can be configured to simulate close, medium and far strikes
- Effective range is ~5-15cm from emulator antenna to sensor antenna
- Arduino form factor and example code makes it easy to install and use
