  System Blue: Searching for SMA & Modula panel jack (items from reichelt didn't fit)
Posted by: diwou - 2016-09-11, 18:24 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - No Replies

Hello,

I ordered the shopping cart from reichelt.de. But the items "SMA panel jack, angled, solder pins" and "Modular panel jack 8/8, shielded"
did'nt fit on the PCB. The SMA panel jack is to short for the case and the 8/8 Modular jack has a different pin layout (The images in the shop shows
the right item. But they deliver a slightly different item.).

Does anyone know of a shop (maybe from Germany) where I get the matching components?


Thanks!
Dirk

  Antennen richtig aufstellen
Posted by: BlackRockShooter - 2016-09-10, 11:48 - Forum: Non-English - Replies (4)

Hey ho leute,
ich wollt mal fragen, wo man die antennen des blauen systems richtig hinstellt....
Die H-Feld antenne kann man ja wie es aussieht im zimmer montieren, solange sei weit genug von elektrischen geräten weg ist. aber wie weit ist "weit genug"?? hat da wer konkrete Meter angaben??
Weil ich wollte die H-feld antenne an die wand hängen. nur das probelm ist, dass auf der anderen seite der mauer der wlan router und mein pc steht. abstand ca 1m durch die mauer) reicht das??

und bei der E-feld antenne ist es ähnlich. bei der stelle, bei der ich es geplant hab, ist ca 3m umkreis eine straßenlaterne, sat-schüssel und andere elektrische (haushalts-)geräte. Warscheinlich reicht der abstand überhaupt nicht....wie weit muss dieser abstand sein? ich wohne auf dem land also hab ich mehr oder weniger platz ums haus. reden wir hier von 20m oder 50m??

außerdem besitzen wir im nachbargebäude (ca 20m) mehrere schweißgeräte. hat da wer nen tipp, was ich dabei beachten muss?

Danke schonmal für die hilfe. Hoffendlich kann ich wenigstens die H-feld antenne aufstellen. bei der E-feld seh ich schwarz Confused

  System Blue - Rocker Switch Question
Posted by: chevyman142000 - 2016-09-09, 00:59 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (5)

Hello All,

Received my system blue in the mail today. I have it completely put together with the exception of the rocker switch. I guess I don't understand how to connect it to the board. I understand where it is supposed to be connected, but how? Appreciate any suggestions on this!

Can't wait to get it powered up!

Jeff

  shielded twisted pair cable (FTP, STP, S/STP, or S/FTP) VS. double shielded coaxial
Posted by: BlackRockShooter - 2016-09-08, 17:56 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

hey guys,
i´ve a questiton about the using of the "h-field and e-field" connection cabel.
in the manual ther is the sentence: "The H-field pre-amplifier is connected with a shielded twisted pair cable (FTP, STP, S/STP, or S/FTP) to the main board. This cable should not be placed next to the network cable."
BUT
can i place the RJ45-Cabel next to the Coaxial-cabel??

AND
in the manual there is the sentence: "The E-field pre-amplifier is connected with 75 Ω double shielded coaxial cable to the main board."
but i only find 4- or 5-Times shielded. Can i use this one too??

thank you for helping

  New station registration issues
Posted by: pjb01 - 2016-09-08, 16:56 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi,

I received my System Blue a couple of days ago - built it OK and initial power-up looks good (starting next on the antennas). However I have been unable to create a new account on www.blitzortung.org for some reason:


I first attempted to register here:

http://en.blitzortung.org/login.php

But registering with a new username and Register Code (format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) simply blanks the data with no confirmation.

I then attempted to register here (link from the internal webserver - latest 8.0 beta FW):

https://www.lightningmaps.org/user/regis...XXXXXXXXXX

I enter name, desired username, e-mail address and password but get 'This password is not allowed!'

I've tried multiple different password options (longer, shorter, added capitals, added numbers, added symbols) - I also tried this on IE and Chrome browsers.

I also tried the password recovery function in case I had registered previously, but as expected I get 'Couldn't find an entry with username or email address XYZ'.


Thanks,
Peter

  System Blue connector S1 3-4 ?
Posted by: elythomaslumber - 2016-09-07, 08:19 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (6)

Hi!

running my System Blue for first experiments and set-up tests, waiting for my GPS antenna.

One question about the on-board connector S1 on PCB 19.3. By default 1-2 and 5-6 are jumpered but what about 3-4?
The schematic is telling me that a lot of IC's are connected to VDD but a jumper is needed on 3-4.

Obviously VDD is connected to the IC's since they are working. Is there any change in the PCB connecting them to VDD without the jumper or is there any further meaning for this jumper?
