  Inbetriebnahme blue
Posted by: glump - 2017-11-27, 21:25 - Forum: Non-English - Replies (4)

Hallo Gemeinde,

bin neu hier und habe heute meinen Bausatz erhalten und gleich zusammengelötet.
Es fehlen nur die 2 Filter-IC's da mir nicht klar ist bei welchen Filter ich die einlöten soll. Auf der Leiterplatte gibt es ja 4.
Ist das egal ?
Erstmal alles in das Gehäuse eingebaut und dann ein 5V 2A Netzteil drangehängt.
Die rote Power-LED leuchtet und es piept 2x - danach flackert die Mode LED ganz schwach und nach einiger Zeit piept es nochmals.
Die LED's an der Netzwerkbuchse leuchten bzw. flackern mit dem Traffic am Netz.
Nur leider bekomme ich vom DHCP (SBS Server 2011) offensichtlich keine IP Adresse. Auch ein Test auf einen neuen Router mit DHCP ergab keinen Erfolg.

Hab nun nochmals die Platine aus dem Gehäuse genommen und alle Lötstellen geprüft - sieht gut aus.
Innen blink noch die rote LED beim GPS Empfänger. Da ist eine neue GPS Antenne angeschlossen.

Hat da jemand einen Tipp für mich....

Grüße aus Kärnten,

Karl

Sorry für den Doppel-Post E/D - wollte eigentlich den hier löschen finde aber keine Möglichkeit

  Zero noise, trigger disabled
Posted by: unob01 - 2017-11-18, 15:49 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (1)

Hi,
I´ve just assembled my System blue (station 2042), I connected E-field pre-amp with wire antenna, but the amplifiers are not receiving any signal (see the photo bellow). Noise level is 0mVpp and the trigger is disabled at all channels. Has anybody any experience with this problem? Thanks for your ideas.

  Solar Powering with Power bank
Posted by: GilbertKE - 2017-11-18, 10:07 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (3)

Hello all, 
We ordered some System Blues, now in transit to Kenya, that we plan to put them multiple locations in East Africa. 

Have anyone tried powering the whole system with a power bank and solar panels? I think 5V, 1 A can power the device and an internet device
This is what I am thinking: 

  1. Power system Blue with power bank, chargeable with solar panels. 
  2. Internet supplied by 3G WiFi Router with Ethernet and WiFi SIM Card Router Huawei E5730: (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/U...570eHn3vyU
Anyone with experience on best components to look for ?

  Detecting in other Zones?
Posted by: MooreGeo - 2017-11-11, 20:11 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (5)

Is there any way to be able to detect strikes in other zones in the world (Oceania or Europe).  I'm just curious how far away I can detect strikes.  Hawaii is the most distant location for me and I usually detect strikes there when they occur.  Thank you all in advance Smile

Hi All
I hope it is OK to use the forum for this but I thought many of us would be interested in the weather as well as lightning. You may have heard of the Blake Larsen Sunrecorder (I am the Blake part).
See www.sunrecorder.net
Our present recorder is being superseded by a professionally made unit so we have a few left to sell at a very reasonable price - 160eu (plus vat for europe). Make contact via the website above.
.Regards
Alan

  East Africa

I am new to Blitzortnung and we would like to build a small (5 nodes?) network in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda). We do this from Delft University of Technology, Netherlands. It seems there are not too many stations in that part of the world. Would this be of interest to others as well?

Question WANTED! - System Red PCB 12 Amp board
Posted by: Dave.Auld - 2017-10-25, 08:03 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - No Replies

Hi All,

I am looking for a replacement fully assembled working System Red amplifier board PCB 12 Ver.3C

The one I had in Qatar on system 1365 took the worst of the elements and is heavily corroded and non-functional. The system has now moved to Cyprus and looking to resurrect it, but need a replacement amplifier board. I do not have all my tools and soldering stations etc here in Cyprus to try and repair, hence a complete assembled board is what i would like.

The RJ45 is heavily corroded and damaged, so is the USB connector, I also suspect the Reset button is U/S and the gain pot most likely duff.

Has anybody got one spare that they do not need and could send to me? Yes, I can cover costs of postage if required....(via paypal).

Here's in anticipation!

Thanks,
Dave

  Shielding

Hi All
At risk of suggesting something already well known (though I've not seen it here)  I came across this copper foil. It's self adhesive and ideal for wrapping around a plastic tube.

  Auswahl des Ethernet-Moduls
Posted by: Rechard83 - 2017-10-20, 14:08 - Forum: Non-English - No Replies

Hallo alle miteinander,

Wenn ich dieses Ethernet-Modul verwende - https://www.icrfq.com/part/2347663-MOD5234_100IR.html , für die drahtlose Fähigkeit, die meine Netz- und Netzbedienerkommunikation automatisch leitet. Wird es gleichzeitig zur Ethernet- und Funkkommunikation aktiv?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

  Desire to Help
Posted by: meawoppl - 2017-10-18, 17:41 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (4)

So after learning about Schumann resonances and starting down the path of building my antennas/amplifier/dsp etc, I came across this group.  I was delighted to discover that this was already a thing people were working on!

So, as a maker of very large (50-70kW) tesla coils (PCB + antenna design), as well as the CTO of a group that manages GB/s of image data per second and PB/year of storage, my question is:

How can I help?

My personal interests lie in sprite-detection and photography Smile
