EDIT
When I execute the Demo.py with the DFRobot installed I get the following
error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Demo.py", line 15, in <module>
sensor.set_indoors(False)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/RPi_AS3935/RPi_AS3935.py",
line 167, in set_indoors
self.set_byte(0x00, write_value)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/RPi_AS3935/RPi_AS3935.py",
line 222, in set_byte
self.i2cbus.write_byte_data(self.address, register, value)
IOError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error
------------------
(program exited with code: 1)
Press return to continue
But if I REM out the following within Demo.py, it seems to be working:
#sensor.set_indoors(False)
#sensor.set_noise_floor(0)
#sensor.calibrate(tun_cap=0x0F)
I get "Waiting for lightning - or at least something that looks like it"
Again if connect the MOD-1016 AS3935 detector everything works as expected.
