Here's an oldie-but-goodie... we designed Rev A of this breakout back in 2013 but somehow never got it out the door. Well, we're doing sweeps and found it just in time for summer thunderstorm testing season! The antenna (which didn't render here) can pick up the 500 kHz electrical zap signal sent from thunderbolts and report it over I2C or SPI.

For some reason most breakouts use SPI only, but this should work fine over I2C too, so we put breakouts for both. Verification testing should be fun... we vaguely remember folks saying that piezo-clicker lighters used for stoves are a good way to trigger it.
