Small EMP sensor / detector module for lightning detection

Description

EMP / lightning sensor
E
MP / lightning-sensor V2.4
is an updated High Energetic Pulse sensor.
This sensor can detect various various EMP-signals, and primarily used for detecting lightning. However, it'll even detect electronic equipment, domestic appliances, tube-lights and some car-engines when they get (de)activated. Use it as a sensor for :
Weather-station
Photography
Arduino experiments
School / scientific experiments
Domotics
Etc..
This updated sensor can be widely used (for protection purpose) and got several improvements, like :
Smaller size
Larger detection range
Easy straight plug-in pins
Extremely low energy-consumption
