What is the AS3935 and How Does It Work?
The Austrian Microsystems AS3935 is a programmable Lightning Sensor IC that detects the presence and approach of potentially hazardous lightning activity in the vicinity and provides an estimation on the distance to the head of the storm. The embedded lightning algorithm checks the incoming signal pattern to reject the potential man-made disturbers and various noise sources.
The AS3935 can also provide information on the noise level and inform the Raspberry Pi of high noise conditions.
