⚡Oh snap! I specifically used the RedBoard Qwiic because of its ability to switch its' logic level between 3.3V and 5V, and I'm utilizing the 3.3V Logic for our following examples. Just keep in mind that with whichever micro-controller you use, that you use one that runs at 3.3V or use a logic level converter.
For this you'll have to solder break away headers to the header on the SparkFun Lightning Detector. After plugging that into your breadboard, you'll wire the RedBoard Qwiic to the Lightning Detector with the following order.
| RedBoard Qwiic (Set to 3.3V Logic) | SparkFun Lightning Detector |
|---|---|
| 3.3V | 3.3V |
| GND | GND |
| 13 | SCK |
| 12 | MISO |
| 11 | MOSI |
| 10 | CS |
| 4 | INT |
