  9.4 Blue 19.3 Board Can't update firmware
Posted by: ni5f - 2025-03-10, 15:41 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (6)

User: 1667, Station : 2056 
Device says that I need to upgrade old firmware 9.4 on my 19.3 board. I downloaded 10.1 but don't know how to transfer the firmware to the device. The only access I have is via ethernet port and the IP address. The local webpage asks me my login name and password; I enter both and it lets me in to view. But that is as far as I can figure. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Does anyone have recommendations of some pre-built housing I can get for the latest system blue basic? Just purchased.

Also what's the best antenna setup for System Blue Basic? Is there any that I can buy? Are loop antennas the best?

Question Data for master's thesis
Posted by: AlMu - 2025-03-06, 16:58 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Hey dear   Lightning ortung community,

For my master's thesis in Mathematics/Machine Learning, I would like to enrich historical weather data with lightning data to train a model that can predict severe weather and storm tracks for a region in Bavaria.
Is there any way to access the data without being a contributor? Unfortunately, due to financial, residential, and time constraints, this is not possible for me right now... 

I would greatly appreciate any response or help!

Thanks alot!  Rolleyes

  PCB manufacturing for Blitzortung systems
Posted by: meteodelta - 2025-02-25, 10:47 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (8)

Dear experts !
Are you familiar with the following or similar PCB manufacturing ?
Is it good to try to manufacure a small batch of Red/Blue systems at this factory ?

https://www.pcbway.com/pcb-assembly.html

Since there is a long waiting list for regular boards, is this a possible speed-cutting solution
Providing of course parts and assembly has to be done elsewhere ?

Sincerely,

MD

  Blitzortung question
Posted by: dinogallardo - 2025-02-18, 04:34 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello,
This morning I am sitting here watching the realtime lightningmaps.org screen covering most of the USA and Europe and noticed something that I've seen previously. I see many lightning strikes here in the US being detected by numerous European BO stations. The display shows the detecting stations and the connecting lines to the point of the strike. My question is why are the European stations detecting lightning all over the world while most of the US stations are only reporting lightning within the western hemisphere?

See the attached map and you'll immediately notice the high concentration of lines coming from Europe for strikes totally out of the range that I would expect to see. Is this a station setup issue or server algorithm that allows strike detection to show so far away from the detecting station?

  Research suggests more lightning strikes will be occurring in North America
Posted by: SchwabTh - 2025-02-15, 11:47 - Forum: General Discussion - No Replies

Research suggests more lightning strikes will be occurring in the mid-latitudes of North America. 

There may also be an increase in overall burned areas due to wild fires.

  System Red for Sale
Posted by: broms99 - 2025-02-08, 19:54 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (6)

I have a system red for sale (System 673)  it is located in Cornwall (UK) but when I built it and set it up originally it was based in Ballyhaunis Southern Ireland.  I have since lost the email address it was registed with and cant change the location.  It is complete and working and will include an external GPS module and 2*FRA 200/15 antenna.  Would rather post to UK but will send to the EU.  Open to sensible offers.  

Regards broms

The project documentation can be found here:

https://docs.lightningmaps.org

Since 2024 most of the information from different PDF files, Compendium, Wiki, forum threads are combined there.

If you think that some information should be added to the documentation then just use this thread here.


Contributing

The documentation is made with Mkdocs which is based on simple Markdown files. The source of the documentation consists of two git repositories which are available here:

https://gitlab.lightningmaps.org/common/docs

  Interested in buying a detector and getting started
Posted by: benjaminrose1991 - 2025-01-12, 05:08 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (1)

Newbie here!

I've been interested in buying a detector and getting into lightning detection for a while now. I have a basic understanding of electronics and radio and I can do some ok solder jobs at a moment's notice.

I am located in Canberra, Australia and I would like to get two detectors online - one in a very northern suburb at my home and another in a more southern suburb with a family member.

Is there anyone here located in Australia or New Zealand who would be interested in selling a station?

I would also be interested in getting in touch with the owners of Canberra's two existing stations and gaining some knowledge and experience from them.

Many thanks!
