Ttl Serial Jpeg Camera With Ntsc Video Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module is one of the most interesting camera vision sensors designed to be attaches to the Raspberry Pi’s Camera Serial Interface (CSI). It has a 5 mega pixel sensor capable of 2592 x 1944 pixels for static images or to capture video images at a high definition resolution of 1080p.

Enter the Lightning
This Instructable will show you how to add an Embedded Adventures MOD-1016 AS3935 Lightning Detector Breakout Board to the Solar Powered Raspberry Pi Weather Station.
Follow along on updates to the WeatherPi story on www.switchdoc.com.
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.
