![]() Ky Lightning Detector How To Cut UpAt first I thought I could reuse the existing remote to turn the unit on and off, but the TV had many multi-function ICs and I decided it wasnt worth trying to figure out how to cut up the board and circuits.I did keep the pair of speakers for the sound portion of the detector though.These are readily available from your favorite parts supplier. This is a perfect project to stimulate your creativity in packaging and construction techniques. The TechLib website includes a great gallery of Readers Projects, including some amazing lightning detectors that are truly works of art. The BNC connector at the top left is for an external (larger) antenna. A wall wart 5V power supply plugs into the cabinet on the rear panel. This allows more room inside for future modifications or circuit additions. Two pieces of bamboo barbecue skewer are held in place with heat shrink tubing to stiffen the lower part of the tape measure antenna. As you can see, the circuits are simple and not too many parts are needed. ![]() Another way to simulate lightning is to use a piezo electric striker, like the ones used in some cigarette lighters and gas barbecue starters. ![]() We also use third-party cookies that help us analyze and understand how you use this website.
