sparkfun AS3935 lightning detector

I recently purchased an AS3935 lightning detector from Sparkfun. I did so with the intention of using circuitpython. I found a circuitpython library on git hub that supports this product. However I am having trouble, and there is no information on how to contact the developer.

I was wondering if:

  1. Sparkfun know of users using the lightning detector with this library?

  2. Any users out there using it?

  3. An alternative to circuitpython without going to C++ and Arduino.

Any help would be appreciated, I know this is third party, but maybe someone where can help me.

I found a circuitpython library from Sparkfun, and the simpletest program works ok.

Now I am trying to run the simpletest program, and I cannot find where the ‘indoor’ or ‘outdoor’ setting is set.

Also, in the basic lightning 1 program, I do not seem able to reset the disturber threshold setting.
