Hi all,

I have just setup my new station #3242 and are having trouble linking my account to the forum.

Would I be able to get some help to link the accounts so that I can access the participant section of the forum.

Thanks in advance

Question GPS problems with
Posted by: ea3gkp - 2025-12-25, 09:57 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Hello,

I connected the 3224 receiver online a few days ago and everything was working perfectly until yesterday when it started having GPS problems.
I've tried configuring several speeds on the serial port and it's not working. My receiver is a Blue Basic PCB 22.x. Can anyone tell me what I can do? I'm thinking of buying another GPS antenna in case it's faulty, but I doubt it.

Thank you

  New Station in South Australia
Posted by: NickInOz - 2025-12-11, 02:32 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

I am eager to explore setting up a new station in South Australia, near Port Augusta. My proposed location is approximately 30 kilometers from a station that is inactive and has been for some time from what I can tell, and would help to improve the accuracy in my area as it is a purplish red at present.

It would seem the website has a major overhaul.   I can no longer connect to the web socket.   I used to parse out the web socket key from the js file.   \  Does anyone have any information to share on the subject?

  Data sample request for thesis project testing
Posted by: Krzysztofz - 2025-11-22, 13:11 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - No Replies

Hello.

My name is Krzysztof. I am a software developer and a student at the Silesian University of Technology. For several years, I have been developing a system for detecting lightning strikes in long video recordings, as a tool to facilitate the work of storm chasers, researchers and software developers. This project has become the subject of my engineering thesis. As part of my master's thesis, which I am currently working on, I am creating a system that involves continuous detection of lightning strikes on video streams from cameras, which will allow for the approximation of the location of a lightning strike.

I wanted to ask if it is possible to obtain raw detection coordinates with timestamps in order to compare these results in my master's thesis.

I saw that on the Blitzortung website, you can only access raw data if you are a contributor, so unfortunately, I do not have access to this data (I was considering joining the project, but there are already detectors in my area, so I don't know if it makes sense). Unfortunately, the historical data I can obtain on LightningMaps is also in the form of a map (without the coordinates and timestamps I need).

Thank you in advance, and I look forward to your response or suggestions on where I could obtain such data.

Best regards, Krzysztof

  Statistics on global lightning strikes per year/day
Posted by: weiserhase - 2025-11-17, 16:54 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (2)

Is there any statistic on the total number of lightning strikes (per year, per day, or overall) besides what’s shown on lightningmaps.org, which is very unclear?
I’m using lightning data to experiment with DuckDB and would like to know the average number of strikes per year/overall to estimate how much storage the data will require.
I haven’t been able to find detailed numbers.
lightningmaps.org says that they have stored ~50Mio strikes. But over which timefratme?
If no official stats exist, does anyone have an estimate from their own projects?

I would be super thankful for any info. 
Thanks for any replies.
