  Fault LED indicates fault
Posted by: j82 - 2016-06-30, 08:55 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (10)

I recently set up a System Blue.

The Fault LED is turned on. What does that indicate?


The controller indicates a GPS signal and Network (GPS led blinks, Network LED is turned on)

I wasn't able to find a description about how the LEDs should be interpreted. Is there such a description?

  Günstigstes / kostenloses System für Laien im Raum Münster
Posted by: Peters - 2016-06-23, 23:14 - Forum: Non-English - Replies (1)

Hallo Freunde !

Ich finde es genial was Ihr zusammen geschafft habt und hänge andauernd vor der Karte sobald es donnert !
Nun würde ich gerne auch bei mir einen Empfänger aufstellen um ein Teil der Flächenabdeckung zu sein.
Leider fehlt es mir an jeglichen Mitteln um hier etwas teureres hinzustellen, wenngleich bei dem Dach, und auch unter der Terasse genügend Platz wäre.
Was löten etc. angeht bin ich relativ unbedarft...

Habt Ihr eine Idee wie ich helfen kann bzw. etwas hier in Münster aufstellen könnte ?

Viele Grüße

  Building a System Blue
Posted by: andycrofts - 2016-06-23, 11:51 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (1)

Hi, folks. First post here...
I'm adept at soldering SMD's (100-pin lqfp is a doddle!) - just 0402 resistors seem to Bother me - I'm 60 years old, after all. Can't find the damn things on the kitchen table (number of times I've tried to solder a breadcrumb onto a board...)

I've been looking at the site, and a couple of questions:
Where do I get the kit...and
My Internet connection (as most in Finland are) is 3G, not wired. Will that produce a significant delay, or is Blue 'smart enough' to send the network time along with the data?
Sorry, just learning about this, but as blitzortung has few detectors in Finland (nearest is in Kemi, about 100kM north of Oulu) I'd like to add to this.

  Does BLUE need shielded ferrites?
Posted by: Dale.Reid - 2016-06-22, 23:42 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (4)

All the pictures of the two or three ferrite antennas that are used for the BLUE systems show no shielding.

With RED it made a huge difference for the H field ferrite installation for me, once I grounded the shields.

Is this necessary for the BLUE system or does the type of input minimize the need for doing that extra work?

A rebuild of the mounting system for the antenna cores would be necessary if I'm going to have to eventually shield them.

Thank you for any thoughts or comments.

  System Blue Circuit Diagrams
Posted by: nerd65 - 2016-06-22, 13:56 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - No Replies

Hi All,

I received my System Blue last week and am in the process of building the unit, antenna etc.  In the Blue assembly manual on page 5 mention is made of the circuit diagrams.  Where might I find these and is a full technical manual available for Blue as there was for Red?  In particular is the pinout for the USB power connector the same in Blue as it is in Red?

  Offset Problem ?
Posted by: Schneid3 - 2016-06-22, 09:45 - Forum: Non-English - Replies (5)

Hallo

Mir ist aufgefallen, dass bei vielen der Blue Stationen, so auch bei mir der, der Offset oberhalb der 0V-Linie liegt. Bitte woran kann dies liegen?

  (Blue) Suggestion: Change color for signal chart on channel 1C
Posted by: Jorgeminator - 2016-06-21, 11:45 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (2)

I have noticed that the yellow color used in the signal charts for channel 1C is really difficult to see against the white background of the lightningmaps.org signal charts. Orange would be better, but since it's used for one of the E-field channels on System Red I am not sure it's available. Are the colors coded differently for each board revision, or are they shared?
