Disturbers not being masked
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Subject of the issue
Getting lots of disturbers on the serial output. Even with mask disturbers being true. Using code revision 1e1a717
Haven't detected any lightning events even with a storm passing by. Wondering if something isn't configured correctly.
Your workbench
- What development board or microcontroller are you using?
Arduino Nano - What version of hardware or breakout board are you using?
Sparkfun AS3935 SEN-15441 - How is the breakout board wired to your microcontroller?
SPI - How is everything being powered?
PC USB - Are there any additional details that may help us help you?

I also encountered the same problem. I don't know if it is due to a wiring error or other errors. I use arduino nano
I know this is an old issue, but if using the default examples, in the setup function you have
lightning.resetSettings();
at the end, you need to comment out that, or it will revert the detector to default settings
Thanks for bringing that to my attention @TadyTheFish, this was fixed in the latest release, 1.4.5.
No problem. I hit this snag also.. No matter what setting I tried it seemed that they had no effect... Then I tested this with printing the settings of the chip in the loop() and theye were default.. Then I removed the resetSettings and it worked
