Hello Mark.
Nothing sophisticated here. No facility for quantative calibration. Only
relative changes of apprx. 180na resolution within a narrow recording limit
of 7 Volts down to Zero volts due to the DC limit of the Velleman 4 channel
data logger. It cannot record any Negative going voltages below zero. :-(
Simple CMOS FET's, unity gain amp's & Butterworth filter. 10Hz bandpass.
Photos of home-brew construction of NEW flat 13 sq.ft. horizontal sensor & 2
verticle oriented sensors with a typical 170 second data image screen shot
during wind & moving cloud cover last night. It got worse.... not typical of
a nice recording evening. I look only for a disturbance association with
large fireballs near my zenith.

Have you had any luck on association?
