MikroElektronika MIKROE-1444 Thunder Click Board

The Thunder Click board is an accessory board in mikroBUS form factor. The board is a compact and easy solution for adding a lightning sensor to designs. Thunder Click features an AS3935 lightning sensor as well as a MA5532 coil antenna. It detects the presence and proximity of potentially hazardous lightning activity in the vicinity and provides estimated distance to the center of the storm. It can also provide information on the noise level. The Click board communicates with the target board microcontroller via mikroBUS SPI (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS) and INT lines. Ideal for weather stations, sports equipment, pool safety, UPSs, GPSs, watches, etc.

The mikroBUS system has a pinout design that typically provides those lines that are suitable for most accessory boards, almost completely eliminating the need for additional hardware setting and thus making plug-and-play easier to achieve.

The Click boards are also ideal for use with the FlowPaw development platform (73-5005).
