So since the last log I've had another thunderstorm.
It was 04:20 at night when I woke up to an amazing thunderstorm. After calibrating my biological sensory I finally got up
and opened my DSL-saver locker. Only to discover indeed it had already disconnected. But I got alarmed by the fact that it appearantly had counted 0 (zero) strikes. I thought my firmware was broken. Waited a few more minutes. Next strike:
Over a 160 pulses on the strike interrupt counter! ( read the source code) Now this kind of data can be used for something!
This kind of data can be used to separate real strikes from static discharges and other electrical noise. All I need is more data. I feel I would really need to move to a really loaded part of the world to gather more data to use for a better firmware. Doing the same thing at my current location would just take too much time. I'm going to have to leave this post hanging just in the cause of not having enough data to rely on for a properly working firmware.
