a post on hackaday.com led me to a lightning sensor breakout board that connects at 3.3V which is perfect for a rpi. since I live in florida I jumped at it. just got it hooked up the other day, unfortunately NOAA's lightning strike database is a few days behind so in a day or two I'll be able to check the accuracy of it. it's my first electronics project with the rpi and I have definitely learned a lot already

Nice! I've been trying to do this but I haven't been able to find a lightning sensor breakout board that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Can you link me to the one you purchased?

that's the breakout, this is the python library you can use with it:
