Hello all !

I am an independent Big Data developer and software architect. For a new application, named Stratus, that I am currently developing, I would need a large test data set to index and analyze. I have been watching blitzortung all summer, and found the data blitzortung produces potentially very interesting.

Stratus is going to be open-sourced in January. The test data may, but must not necessarily be open source. Would blitzortung be willing to provide me with e.g. 10 Gigabyte worth of data ? If there are any costs involved, I am willing to discuss payment.

I live 40km south of Adelaide which is in south Australia, Australia.
I understand the coverage in my area is so so and I've been reading about these devices which would go well with my weather station with time-lapse video.

As my soldering skill are pretty poor, I'm looking forward to the pre built kits as well.
So I just thought I would pop in and say hello

Hi at all!

In the past days I got a new system red station (number 1251), mounted on a extra urban location.

Somebody can tell me if my data are corrects? Thanks!!

Since month, on the user configuration page, there is an empty "last signal" picture, but the station works fine.
Is there a failure on transmission of my station?
nice x-mas & HNY, Peter

It 'used to be' that when I signed in to BO.org and went to the participants page, the website recalled my region and brought up just the relevant sites for North America that I was interested in.

Since there has been some tweaking of that web page, now I have to go through the additional steps of going to the box for Region, checking the drop down list for North America, and then the filter sorts and displays the sites I want to see.

It used to remember what region I wanted.

Is there some check box or option for me to set under the new page that will bring me back to North America automatically without the extra steps I have to do to set the filter? What was set up under the old page was great. The new page is also great but forgetful and while the extra steps are not that big of a deal, it seems desirable functionality has been lost.

Any tips or should I just keep doing this until the final new release comes along and hopefully Tobi will re-tweak it back to remembering the region again?

Hi all,

I'm interested in setting up a station in South Africa and wondered if there are any other potential users out there in South Africa looking to setup a station.

I am located in Pretoria at approximately -25.849041°, 28.228571° and am looking to hear from you !

Hallo,

seit 2 Tagen beobachte ich, das meine Station (1006) immer wieder bei lightningmaps.org als inaktiv gekennzeichnet ist. Ist sie aber nicht, denn sie sendet fleißig Daten und vor allem bin ich in der Statistik ganz oben

Station aktiv: nein
Zuletzt aktiv: vor 5,0 Minuten
Letzte Aktualisierung: vor 5,0 Minuten
Letzter detektierter Blitz: 03.12.2014 19:18:24 UTC
Letztes Signal: 03.12.2014 19:15:11 UTC

Sortiert nach Effizienz :

Pos. Id PCB Land Ort Entfernung Blitze/h Signale/h Effizienz
Anzahl Quote Anzahl Quote
1 688 10.3 Deutschland Einbeck 375km 48 46,6% 1108 4,3% 14,2%
2 339 6.6 Deutschland Linnich - Gevenich - 1 382km 51 49,5% 1342 3,8% 13,7%
3 1006 10.4 Deutschland Blaustein 0km 55 53,4% 1622 3,4% 13,5%

Nach 15 Minuten wiederholt sich das Spiel. Stimmt da irgendwas mit lightningmaps.org nicht ?

Auch hier sieht man, das wohl noch andere Stationen betroffen sind :

Aktive Stationen: 390 (1 ohne GPS-Signal)
Verfügbare Stationen: 593

Kann mir nicht denken, das nur die Hälfte der Stationen aktiv ist.

Just switched my new station on over the weekend. The ID is 1238. Status from the controller says "Normal", both amps (E + H) show noise levels and gain jumping around (automatic mode). However, the signals page shows nothing. All channels are checked "Display" but no traces appear. Do I need to do something to enable that?

The amplifier status for all input channels shows the trigger as disabled. Is that bad?

Also, on the controller's status page, in the section for remote configuration, my station ID (1238) is shown as a link but that link goes to a nearby station, not mine


Thanks for any help!

I followed lightning evolution in Rome during last 2 hours: blitzortung map said 25-30 strokes/min fell.... but I didn't see a single ligthining or heard a single thunder.
How is it possible?!?

Would it be possible to have kits for those who live near power lines? Even though the devices would have to use some attenuation, if it could pick up the local strikes that are within 8 - 10 km, it would be still usable for the map. Also a sound pressure (microphone) could be used to calibrate the expanding sound circles.
