i want to buy Lightning Detector from this site:
http://www.hobby-boards.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=65
please tell me: after i buy the Lightning Detector, the display can be with map or just with graph?
if you have any information about weather display software (like link and more…) and
the Lightning Detector,it will be great.
This 1-wire solution only counts lightning strikes, there is no mapping of avaiable data. What do you expect from a low cost solution? If you want mapping then the Boltek is the product to go for but it is very much more expensive, in the UK it is more than 10 times more expensive than a 1-wire detector!

o.k
i understanding that the display will be just with graph. with the graph there is any possibility to now the distance between the Lightning and my home.
i hope you understand my question.
no
but, because its graphing, you now see that there could be trends, i.e that the number of strikes is increasing, as the storm gets more intense, or that its getting closer , and more in range
Tamir,
If you decide to get the 1-wire lightning detector from Hobby-Boards this FAQ may help get it set up:
Additional information is available here from Tom at CarterLake:
For the price it is a great addition to a Weather Station and for my needs does everything I want, which is to alert us of any lightning approaching so we can get the kids indoors and such…
Good luck,
Bob
thank’s
