Stability? #4

Closed remrat closed 11 years ago

remrat commented 11 years ago

I have installed the default code, and commented out the specified line because I am running an Arduino 256. Every time I start this up, I get:

Noise floor is: 2 Spike rejection is: 2 Watchdog threshold is: 2 Noise level too high, try adjusting noise floor ...

I have verified my connections and power cycled. Any thoughts?

Yes, do the following, please: 1) move lightning detector board away from EMI sources, like laptops, keyboards, other electronics 2) read README.md 3) read datasheet of AS3935 4) adjust noise floor and other lightning detector settings to suit your particular needs and situation

I have completed the above steps, except for item #4. Where is this procedure completed? Are there default values I should look into? I am in the middle of a thunderstorm and would love to see this in action!

All these questions, if you really have to ask them, belong to ams support and not here. This library is only to make it easier to interface to the chip, details of how chip works is out of scope here. Please read the datasheet and use your brains.
