  ELI5: How do lightning tracker websites work?
Posted by: Johnlarry - 2019-04-06, 11:52 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Sitting on the toilet just now during a thunderstorm and a huge bolt of lightning flashed outside that must have been 2-3 miles away. I was watching the live lightning ( links removed by admin) map on LightningMaps.org and the flash that just saw was on my live map within 10 seconds! How is it possible to track the sky on a global scale like that?

  System blue for sale - argentina only
Posted by: alexbsas - 2019-03-21, 01:56 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello, I have a system blue board in Buenos Aires. I installed it and it works but couldn't find the time to optimize the antenna and the reception as I live in a crowded area with quite a bit of noise electrical noise. I'll be glad to sell the board to another user in Argentina since there are no other stations here I believe. Its sold at cost price, 195 Euro. You'll save yourself the burden of importing it and I'll include the gps antenna as a gift.

Exclamation It does not detect electrical activity
Posted by: emaibarlucea - 2019-01-10, 13:58 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - No Replies

Good morning, how can we know if the antenna is taking a signal? because it does not detect electrical activity, we are currently under a storm and it does not detect any lightning, must we configure something else? so I see there are 3 more stations in region 5, sorry for the inconvenience! a big hug.

  Solder bridge location for PCB 17.x
Posted by: hazelnut - 2019-01-10, 04:31 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (2)

The docs say:

Quote:Due to a small manufacturer's breakdown on Panel 20.5, the printed circuit board next to the E-field preamplifier is not connected to the input of the E-field preamplifier. Here, either a small solder bridge must be set or a corresponding antenna must be connected to the input.

I've got PCB 17.1 2016-03-20 (from the overall PCB 20.6) and can't find any obvious location to add the solder bridge, is this still required for current revisions, and if so where do you place it?

Also, for the ground terminal on the case, do you need to solder a connection to the 19.x PCB somewhere for good contact or is it sort-of connected via the case -> Ethernet jack contact?

  Lightning animation and map during year 2018
Posted by: RongeLuk - 2019-01-05, 21:20 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (4)

Hi,

I have made some (maybe) interesting maps and animation from Blitzortung.org data during whole year 2018 over Europe (and surroundings).

First is timelapse movie of 90 minute strikes [Image: lightning.png]  history with 10 minute step. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ygQJ1-iBnE&hd=1


Second is GIF animation of monthly merged lightning strikes into European map.

Enjoy  [Image: wink.gif]
