fault led at first boot |

Hello, I just built my system blue PCB 20.7
Without connecting to a GPS antenna or to ethernet, i tried to boot it, and after some led blinking and beeping, I got a constant glow on power and mode LEDs, as well as a red constant light for the fault led. It does not seem promising, and I couldn't find anything to understand better on the matter.
If I press the reset button,the red fault led goes away. Do you know what is happening, or link meany guide or something please?

Location of H-field antenna |

I use 2 ferrites as the H-field antenna. My system blue is housed in a wooden garden shed. Does it matter where I mount the antenna? Or is the reception better outside?
Greetings, Torsten

Hi,
I have a Blitzortung System Blue 19.5 Board already assembled for sale. System has only been used 6 months and is working fine. Included in metal housing and includes the unit, power supply, GPS, both E-Field and H-field Antennas (2 ferrite Roads and both antenna mounting blocks).
Ready to hook up immediately and use. (Does not include coax for mounting due to cable being 100'; will include with costs for shipping).
Perfect for someone not willing to order the parts which is a problem due to being shipped from Germany and then assembling and having to purchase power supply, GPS and Antenna Cables.
Have put at least $800 in everything included plus time assembling,ect. Asking $675 USD.
Please PM me if interested
Cheers,
Tom M .

Possibility of contributing to a second-tier experimenta hardware / software effort? |

First off, I want to express how impressed I am with this effort. The work here is amazing, and I cannot accurately express how impressed I am. As an Electrical Engineer of 30+ years, I see the greatness of this projects contributors , spanning many disciplines of RF, Digital, PCB, Embedded, Mathematics, and web-development. What an amazing team effort. What an amazing team! I want to be on it.
To that point, I really, really, really, really want to contribute. I am on the list to become a station, but the list is long, and I am number 6352 on the list. I assume it will be a very, very long time before I see my kit. So, I humbly ask, would it be OK, and would anyone be interested in a 2nd-tier EXPERIMENTAL effort (asking for / with the full blessings of the original developers) ? Perhaps with lower cost, simpler hardware? Not as "good" but ubiquitous and fun for the "rest of us" ?
My field of expertise is in RF/ FPGA /Embedded design. I would --love-- to build a "simpler" station, perhaps with a much shorter range (as there seems to be no end of people who wish to have a station, so range does not seem to be that important) and with perhaps much tighter timing accuracy?
Spit balling here, us an FPGA / GPS 1PPS to time tag "events" from a voltage-mode threshold detector (i.e. less sensitive, but more timing accurate than an ADC) to report back to an experimental server? Keep the hardware CHEAP and SIMPLE, perhaps make it a Pi-Zero hat? As for the FPGA / PCB design, I can handle that, and I can even build a medium volume of prototypes, (which I will fund / sell at $0 profit / cost) as I have pick and place machinery at my disposal (I am blessed to own a small scientific manufacturing company)
What I am proposing here is and effort "for the rest of us" -- I am in NO WAY trying to offend the original contributors of this magnificent system. In fact, I really want, and need, their help and their blessing. If the project data becomes useful, maybe they could even integrate the data collection into their "production" system,
Again, I come to this effort hat-in-hand, with the best intentions.
Thank you,
---Lou
