Lightning counter?

Hi Guys,

What is involved for a lightning counter?

Do you need a weather station that supports it??

Or do they come as a ‘stand alone’ unit that plugs directly to the computer??

Sorry about posting here. Wasnt sure the best place to post this.

I am using a 1-wire lightning detector. It will work with any wx station. You plug it into a spare serial port. In my case it is in a usb to serial converter port.
Try the hobby-board lightning sensor
Cheers
