Hardware without Hardware or Lightning without Lightning
summary
Claims that all device logic is implemented and verified without touching hardware, using StreamData property tests, mocks and stubs against a Grove Pi I2C protocol in the Nerves ecosystem. Shows parsers for the sensor registers, a GenServer that subscribes to lightning events, and a Raspberry Pi Zero deploy that actually reports detections. Notes surprising back-of-envelope math (one strike every ~17 minutes for a 63 km range). Demo with a Van de Graaff generator confirms the pipeline works on stage.
