Dear all,

How to order a system blue basic? I registered several years ago and again last week.

I just checked the cover your area page, but it does not display my status.
The messages printed is "The following information is stored at our server: E-mail: aa@aa.com, Country: France".

Does it mean it is okay for me to order?
How to order?

Also, my account is still restricted. Could you lift restriction so I can buy the last system red that is available for sale. I cannot communicate using the forum. It has durated several years, could you lift the ban.

Kind regards,
Kellogs

Hello,

First I would like to thank the community for working on Blitzortung.

I am willing to buy a Blue-Basic board with pre-amp.
Are there any 3D casing plans to pring the enclosure ?

Kind regards,

Hello

I want to make my blue mini using the schematics in hardware reference part of the lightningmaps.org website. I can buy and solder the smd components.

1.  When lightning strikes, and many detectors pick it up, is there a max # of stations that the server will use data from to calculate the location?
   
   
2.   I've heard that a station can detect lightning close by, and then I heard the system will not use lightning data for a strike near by, and instead use data from stations hundreds of miles away?
      2.a If you look at the attached station list, it shows stations sorted by closet to furthest for North America, most of them only show lightning hundreds of miles away? Is it possible for the server/station to detect lightning striking near the station?

Device says that I need to upgrade old firmware 9.4 on my 19.3 board. I downloaded 10.1 but don't know how to transfer the firmware to the device. The only access I have is via ethernet port and the IP address. The local webpage asks me my login name and password; I enter both and it lets me in to view. But that is as far as I can figure. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Does anyone have recommendations of some pre-built housing I can get for the latest system blue basic? Just purchased.

Also what's the best antenna setup for System Blue Basic? Is there any that I can buy? Are loop antennas the best?

Hey dear    ortung community,

For my master's thesis in Mathematics/Machine Learning, I would like to enrich historical weather data with lightning data to train a model that can predict severe weather and storm tracks for a region in Bavaria.
Is there any way to access the data without being a contributor? Unfortunately, due to financial, residential, and time constraints, this is not possible for me right now... 

I would greatly appreciate any response or help!

Thanks alot! 

Dear experts !
Are you familiar with the following or similar PCB manufacturing ?
Is it good to try to manufacure a small batch of Red/Blue systems at this factory ?

Since there is a long waiting list for regular boards, is this a possible speed-cutting solution
Providing of course parts and assembly has to be done elsewhere ?

Sincerely,

Hello,
This morning I am sitting here watching the realtime lightningmaps.org screen covering most of the USA and Europe and noticed something that I've seen previously. I see many lightning strikes here in the US being detected by numerous European BO stations. The display shows the detecting stations and the connecting lines to the point of the strike. My question is why are the European stations detecting lightning all over the world while most of the US stations are only reporting lightning within the western hemisphere?

See the attached map and you'll immediately notice the high concentration of lines coming from Europe for strikes totally out of the range that I would expect to see. Is this a station setup issue or server algorithm that allows strike detection to show so far away from the detecting station?

Hi! I'm a new user, and I have a System Blue with PCB 19.5 and firmware 9.4. When I switch it on (with only power attached to the gadget), it emits a shorter higher-frequency beep and a longer lower-frequency sound. The Power, Mode, Network, and GPS LEDs illuminate for around 15 seconds before the two beeps sound again, and the entire process repeats: two beeps and lights on. I've already tried flashing versions 9.4, 9.5b1, 10.0b1, and 10.0b2, and the only difference is in the beeps. I also tried connecting the System Blue to my local network and using Fing to retrieve the IP address, but had no luck. However, when I connect it directly to my PC via Ethernet, I use Wireshark to obtain the IP address, and I can ping it but cannot access its web interface Subway Surfers. What can I do to address this problem?
