Acu-rite 02020 Lightning Detector
« on: May 27, 2014, 01:39:49 PM »
Does anyone know about this Acu-rite Lightning Detector?
I wonder what chipset it uses, maybe the AS3935?

I see Amazon has them for a bit cheaper. Time to add to my Excessive Collection of Lightning Detectors!

Too bad it does not have some sort computer port so it could be used with some sort software.

Why not just go with the full Blitzortung setup, and contribute your data as well?????

Um, I already do. Stations #668 and #706. I have both a 6.8USB "Green" system (668) and a RED (706).
I would like to see if this is AS3935-based to compare it with the AS3935 interfaced to my system RED.
