Hallo,

ich habe jetzt viel gelesen, bin mir aber in einem Punkt noch unsicher, weil ich in der
FAQ was über eine 'serielle Verbindung' gelesen habe... Daraus ergeben sich doch
noch einige Fragen:

Gehe ich recht in der Annahme, dass das mit der seriellen Verbindung noch das alte
System betrifft und dass das System "Red" vollkommen autark arbeitet, also keinen
heimischen Computer erfordert sondern die Antennen und das GPS System direkt mit
dem WAN (über den heimischen Router) verbindet? Den "Tracker" benötige ich also
für "Red" nicht? So verstehe ich "Rechnerloser Betrieb".

Dann habe ich was von Rückkanal gelesen, der den Antennenverstärker steuert (Gain Control).
Ist es denn entsprechend nötig hierfuer einen Port am heimischen Router zu öffnen?

Kann ich weiterhin davon ausgehen, dass man das System aufbauen, programmieren, betreiben
und warten kann ohne einen Windows PC zu nutzen? Ich habe nämlich keinen solchen und nutze
ausschliesslich Linux (Debian & Flavours)

Ist das Flashen der Firmware mittlerweile über ein Webinterface möglich?


Netten Gruss

Hello,

I am one of the fresh enthusiasts following http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en and http://www.blitzortung.org for few months now. I read crucial infromation on this project, read the official document, whole 95 pages ...
I have computer skills, but electronics and soldering is not my cup of tea, glass of beer, ....

I noticed there is a hold on HW distribution. When available, I would like to buy one set, already assembled that is and set up one additional input point somewhere around this coordinates: 45°59.7"N 14°36'"E.

Best regards
Matt N.

Hello, is there any action to take the content of the Site www.faq-blitzortung.org to this site, because the Faq will close at September 14? It would be sad if the Content will be lost.

Just curious... could this technology be adapted to real time meteor detection?
Would there be a way to modify the design to be able to track a meteor, and its
trajectory/path of decent? What a great way to find suspected impacts from those
that survive entry. Also would be a great tool to see in real time the meteors as they
hit the atmosphere and burn up, and pin point location and trajectory just like you are
pin pointing lightning strikes with an array of listening and gps sites.

How it works...

Let me know..

Hello dear Blitzortung.org participants and weather enthusiast,

I want to Setup the first Blitzortung.org station in my home country, the Philippines. Should I order the latest Hardware for system red from Egon in Germany or from another source, maybe from the USA? Since I am in Germany most of the time it would be probably faster to get the set in Germany?
I have read that Egon was on vacation until end of july and that new pcb's had to be reordered. What is the easiest and fastest way to get a complete system red kit? Did the new pcb boards arrive already?

Thanx

Ricky

Hallo lieber Foren Admin,

mein Foren Account benötigt eine Freischaltung zum Stationsbetreiber.
Ich kann aber derzeit keine E-Mail an den Admin senden, da ich keine Forenrechte dazu besitze, daher mein Hilferuf hier.
Danke im voraus

We are interesting install blitzortung station in our location. We are a company that provides internet for local peoples, we have a lot of objects constant access to the internet and backup power supply where it is possible to install equipment. If anyone have a complete module to return us or sell it please let us know. Officcial blitzourtung equipment is sold out. Our location is Olesnica near Wroclaw / Poland.

Regards, Radek.

Why the firmware for the receiving stations is not open source? I think it is not safe. The point is - you suggest us to buy and install at our home some hardware "black box", witch is receiving something broadband from the air, process it by the unknown way, and send it to the internet via closed protocol. And the controller board even have a built-in microphone! How can we be shure, that your device does only what it supposed to do, and does not do anything else in the background? Maybe capturing mobile phone transmissions, maybe police or military radio communications, maybe everything heard by the microphone... Of course most probably it is not true, bat maybe. Just maybe... Especially after all that Snouden revelations and so on... It turns out, it is only a matter of trust, and it is not good.

In such cases, out of respect for your users, usual solution is distributing the open-source software, which anybody who familiar with programming can check and make shure that it is "clean" and work properly. And closed sources arise suspicions, that you have something to hide... Are you?

Why is the Station-Position on Lightningmaps about 3km wrong? on "blitzortung.org" they are correct, also on my controller. On the lightningmaps, my homestation is shown about 3km in direction 120°.

see also the station 1090 and 914 in the "lac leman" near Lausanne, certainly not installed in the "lac leman"
