Hello,
I am a new user, and I messaged a forum member asking for information about a unit they have for sale.  They are receiving my messages, but I cannot see how to view messages to me.  I don't see any messages in my control panel.  So how do I view messages to me?

Thanks!

Hi, I recently received my system blue detector, and I was trying to get it up and running with the simplest antenna configuration.  I think that is a meter long wire to use as an E-Field antenna, correct?  But upon closer inspection, the rev of System Blue that I have only has a connection for the H-Field preamp connection.  Is it not possible to connect an E-field antenna?

For the last 3 days, my green pcb does not show on the server, somehow it disappeared from my account also.

I do have some interference from a solar inverter during the day, but the station was working ok.

Station 18, green pcb 6.8
Thank you.

Hi Guys,

Looks like my p/s for my system blue is starting to die as it's only putting out 4v. I was going to get another powerstream one (https://www.powerstream.com/AC-1898.htm), but I'm not going to pay $70US (!) for postage to Australia.
So, can any Aussies on here point me to some alternatives??

Thanks,

John (Gorzzz)

Some of my Windows PCs (not all) have problems displaying the live lightning maps in Chrome. The window appears normally for a fraction of a second, and then is greyed-out and cannot be controlled.  I can see through the "grey fog" that the page is working (ie lightning strikes being displayed).

Refreshing the screen just repeats the situation.

Edge displays the map correctly.

Blitzortung cookies are present. If I delete them, they get re-created when I open the page again - but unlike other PCs (where the maps display correctly), I am not asked to accept cookies.

Hello, I'd like to clarify some information to be sure.

I looked at a project on github.com that uses WebSocket. I was able to get it running and receive thunderstorm marker data on the map.

To avoid overhead, I saved the history in localStorage, meaning new data is stored temporarily while the delay occurs.

Can I use WebSocket in an app?

Naturally, I'm specifying blitzortung.org to make it clear.

My goal is weather, precipitation, and markers. I know this is just for fun and not 100% accurate.

I need to downsize and as it won't be so easy for me to erect the E-field detector, it's reluctantly time to sell my System Blue. The kit's been working for several years without incident. I gather System Blue Classics are currently out of stock so this is a good opportunity for someone who's waiting for one.

The kit is fully assembled and comes with 2 matched, original Blitzortung ferrites and a GPS antenna.  All you will need to get it working are the connecting leads and a 5V power supply.

The price is €325 + the cost of postage from NSW Australia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Hello,

My station 1365 used to be located in Doha, Qatar, but I moved country a few years ago to Cyprus, and have resurrected the system and after giving the amp board a bit of TLC it appears to be working again on the test bench.

However, I have noticed that LightningMaps is continuing to show the station located in Qatar and not in its new location of Cyprus, Paphos, depending on which part of the site you are on.

I can't see any options to resync or force any update, so I assume that this will need to be done by admins.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi All, Station 3115 wishing everyone is having a good day, just thought I would say hi while i wait for the Admin to approve my station, it's been a while in getting it functional but at last it's online. The antenna is 2 meter diameter coper pipe with transformers on a Mini blue system.

Enjoy
Mike

Hi, my name is Kieron.

I'm in the process of adding lightning data to a weather site / app that I'm creating at  weathercastpro.com/

This is non-commercial, free to use. 

how do I request access to use the blitzortung lightning strike data on my radar feature?

I beleive I need credentials for non-commercial projects under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.

Thanks

Kieron
